Aught3 said:I completely agree with Gnug's words and very much like Concordance's videos. However, for me this video highlights the problems with trying to attribute motives to other people's actions online. We could easily think up dozens of explanations for why PZ would want to move video comments to his moderated blog, but the only person who really knows is PZ. Perhaps PZ was interested in substantive discussion around the content of his videos? If he found the majority of the video comments to be about him personally, either Thunderfoot supports attacking him or PZ supporters defending him, I could see PZ wanting to move discussion to his already moderated website. And if the videos were just being downrated because *PZ* made them rather than on the basis of content, that would explain the rating block.
I don't know if my scenario is correct and I don't know if Concordance's scenarios are correct, but blocking youtube comments/ratings hardly seems like a big deal to me.

To find out who wants to rule you, look to who you are not allowed to criticise.
Seems like Concordance is perfectly able to criticise PZ as can many other people. I guess that means PZ doesn't want to rule us after all.Balstrome said:What is that saying?

That's the thing though isn't it? I wouldn't want to see constant criticism of my character especially in a format where what I wanted to see was substantive discussion of ideas. It would probably be worth moderating out that kind of content to promote a broader discussion of important issues. In any case PZ has an unmoderated 'Thunderdrome' on his blog and an publicised email address so he's hardly shutting out all criticism of himself.)O( Hytegia )O( said:There's a difference in being ABLE to, and them RESTRAINING you from saying things.
For example, if I were to legitimately criticize PZ's actions and he were to ban me from his forums - though completely within his own rights - it would imply that he is effectively sitting down and shutting out all criticism of his character in a format where he has sole control over it.
