**Clarification of Moderator Instructions**

As I just posted in [this thread:](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=16083471&posted=1#post16083471)

> [@](#):

> I’ll admit that I did not consider all of the ramifications before giving my instructions in [this] thread.
> 
> Based on the rule as it presently stands, I would say that:
> 
> 1. Peter Morris is prohibited from mentioning or referring to Randi on this board. This includes oblique references where he does not mention him by name. He is not allowed to engage other posters on the subject when it comes up.
> 
> 2. Other posters may not attempt to goad Peter into discussing Randi. They should not bring up Randi in threads in which Peter is posting, where Randi is not pertinent to the subject of the thread. Otherwise they are free to discuss Randi.
> 
> Peter is free to engage in the Uri Geller thread, as long as he does not mention or discuss Randi. He is not to respond to other posters on the subject of Randi. Other posters should not ask him about his position on Randi or engage him on the issue.
> 
> It’s unfortunate that these restrictions had to be put in place, but they were prompted by Peter’s previous obsessive behavior on the subject. We were faced with the alternatives of either banning Peter, or not being able to have any discussion of Randi that didn’t become a massive trainwreck.
> 
> I will not issue a warning to Peter for bringing up Randi in [this] thread (and he was apparently the first to do so) to give him the benefit of the doubt that he may have thought it was OK because he didn’t mention him by name. However, I want to make it completely clear that any reference to Randi by Peter, even obliquely, in the future may result in a warning and review of his posting privileges.
