@Davidski,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your rules and limit setting. I had been getting turned off by the odd and peculiar comments lately from obviously closed minded egos. A tacking toward objectivity is clearly a good choice on your role as moderator.
@Davidski
ReplyDeleteGood move. I think you should seriously begin to consider comment moderation if you have not already.
*clap*
ReplyDeleteDavid,
ReplyDeleteGood move . I also like the thing that unlike the previous rules, a specific person is not named !.
All we want is a friendly debate , topic to topic with some reasoning ! .
Thanks
Moderation will be on and off, like last night, depending on who visits and how they behave.
ReplyDeleteYou kind of already had some of these rules but good work. This comment section was always a treat to read until it started degenerating.

"There is no rule against swearing and name calling, but try to keep things civil."
ReplyDeleteSwearing is a bad habit. I am Irish, and we (including me in times of stress) overuse the word f**k. It's ugly. Name calling is usually harmless banter, but when it leads to responses, it gets in the way of what I am here to read.
Can I suggest stopping the swearing?
Garvan
I totally see what you're saying Garvan, and I think that once I impose these new, tighter rules on discussions, and force most of the trolls out one way or another, things will calm down. Or so I hope.
ReplyDeleteI think I am still going to have to read comments that completely lack logic but at least there will be a lot less of them.
ReplyDeleteHere's another: no rapid fire posting.
ReplyDeleteFive back to back comments is yelling not conversing.
Interesting way to formula your rules. I wonder how it will play out.

ReplyDelete"The single LNBA I1 sample in G25 is WHG-rich, north of any MN farmer-Steppe cline. Modern Scandinavians have excess WHG, beyond what Funnel Beaker can explain. It is possible I1 source is WHG-rich."
Which sampleid is that?
And I find no modern Scandinavians with excess WHG. From where have you got your data?
@Davidski: I don't think there is any field more prone to "glass is half full, glass is half empty" discussions then genomics research discussions. On top of that you have all these white supremacists who want to expose the Marxist leftist conspiracy so moderating this blog must be hell! :-)
ReplyDeleteIs there a rule to always write a new comment and using @ instead of using reply option? Or commenting older posts?
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI wonder how some users here can wonder about a "fast expansion of R1b-Z2103" into middle-western Europe. IMHO there is no single find of that SNP in Western Europe before 2000calBC. The R1b in Western Europe all descend from R-L51, in 2020 ISOGG notation, R1b 101 b1a, having crept up the Danube valley. Who ever knows bettdr, please only post with full ID, scientific Date, and source. Thank You.
