1. Those who object to the direction I take a conversation don't seem to understand that the format of the forum allows unlimited and non-interfering alternative directions. By not allowing expanded directions in the declension discussions, they effectively cut off context. That is their job, I think.... to cut off context so that other angles cannot be seen.
2. Mods are nowhere to be seen when BXR uses really nasty insults. There is no referee. It's likely too much effort. Still, it would be interesting to see refereed conversations. Maybe I should have called in a moderator to referee.
3. Covid vaccines are said to be off topic in cryonics but in a larger sense they are not and could certainly occupy one thread which is parked neatly as one subject line. As long as it's mostly cryonicists discussing the vaccines, that should be valid as a topic. The main foul mouthed bouncer who is not stopped by the official mods is sure to mainstream the view of vaxxes so that there is nothing allowed to be written that outside observers can associate with cryonics. To this extent, cryonics is a closed-shop, not a concept in philosophy open for review.
