> **tomndebb** , thank you for posting those corrections, but I think you should have done so as a poster and not as a moderator. As I understand it, it’s not the moderators’ job to be the Accuracy Police.

Probably true. I had just encountered his declaration in his other thread (after 180+ posts), that he was not out to “convince” anyone of his beliefs and that he had no interest in providing evidence for his wild claims. I then encountered one more silly (New Age) misrepresentation of the facts of Nicaea with what appeared to be the beginning of another round of _here are some unsubstantiated claims; you go find the evidence to support them_ and it tripped my Moderator alarm. Perhaps I should have cut this thread more slack, but it looked very much like the earlier “I am not here to argue” opening being repeated. If one is going to open a non-debate in the debate forum, one should probably not do so with non-facts. It makes my teeth hurt.
