Hmm…I guess JamesR didn’t read all the rules.

False allegations with respect to Trooper
Ah, but when the moderators are using their position and tools to alter the discussion and passing out infractions, I’d say that’s when it starts to get a little tricky for sciforums and the administration.
An ad hominem is when someone employs irrelevant facts about the author. A libel is a false and malicious defamation of another.
I would like to be able to openly discuss controversial and sensitive issues. Strong views and beliefs complicate controversial issues, and can arouse personal feeling, but discourse is beneficial. By posting, one is voluntarily entering into the discussion about the controversy and inviting responses. It opens one up to criticisms that are related to the controversy being discussed, but not to ad hominem attacks or slander.
The White House has renewed its efforts to prevent and control rape by launching a new campaign making rape a hot topic for many articles.
I would like to explore this topic further by discussing why rape is unique and should be a distinct crime from battery. I would like to explore sexual autonomy, the difference between female and male sexuality, and how they may view sex differently. I would like to understand how it damages a woman’s self-image, identity, and dignity. Also, the impact that cultural views may have on self-image, the stigma, the antiquated goal of protecting a chaste woman’s virtue, the intimacy, the cost, etc. How rape is treated under the criminal law can have significant effects on our status. Therefore, current and unbiased views will allow everyone to make informed decisions and take considered action on these controversial issues.
I started a topic “Why rape is unique and why it should be a distinct crime from battery?” Hopefully, it will receive fair and unbiased moderation.
Thank you,

JamesR said:Moderators and administrators of sciforums are, by and large, unpaid volunteers. Moderators are free to post in their capacity as ordinary forum members, as well as in their capacity as moderators. When moderators express opinions on matters that are not related to their moderating duties, it is to be understood that such opinions are the opinions of the individual posting them and not the official opinions of sciforums or its administration.
