Thank you. Looks like a good tool for a complete SDMB experience.
AFAIK, Milgram’s experiments were not about torturing, they were about people blindly following the directions of others—even to the point of (apparently) causing extreme duress to the experimental subject. Fundamentally his area of research concerned what could be termed “Toxic Conformity”.
Your posts in the QZ forum have been very helpful to me. Thank you. I have some huge decisions to make soon about how I might possibly get meaningful immune system protection from COVID even though I am on rituximab. I’m sure that conversation would benefit greatly with your participation.
I appreciate your constructive criticism. There’s always something to be gained from well-intended evaluation.
While I don’t agree with your assessment, I can see why you would feel that way. I think you are a good moderator and thank you for your contributions to the Dope.
Those are excellent positive methods. I have tried this approach many times but folks aren’t always that quick at picking up what you’re laying down.
CardboardBoxx– this is an succinct and elegant post. Thank you. And thanks for recognizing, in this and other posts, that this stuff is an issue on the Dope. Other people agree with you but don’t want to get into it.
And naturally, after this enlightening thread I don’t feel like getting into it anymore either. I still believe the issues that I bitched about are ones that negatively affect the discussion on the SDMB.
Ambiguity is never a good writing technique (other than in fiction?). I hope that folks here in this thread and Board-wide can separate their personal problems with me from their (everyone’s) desire to keep the level of discourse here as high as possible.
