Greg, the moderator in question was me. What I was trying to do was to end the pointless continuation of this thread.
I know very little about the subject, but after reading the arguments presented, my personal feelings were that Bobs arguments were the more persuasive. I could see this going on forever, and offered a suggestion as a private member of the site, not as a moderator. That suggestion was basically as pointed out above, and reflect my own feelings; that is, the arguments have been presented, let the members make up their own mind, based on the evidence presented by all parties.
Do you really think the argument is going to be resolved with further input? I don't!
I also said that it was a suggestion, and was up to him if he wanted to keep it going. I also pointed out that I thought it was pointless, as Obee was not going to agree with anything he said. Perhaps I should have said something similar to Obee, if I wanted to remain neutral. However, as I said, it was not a moderators request, it was a personal suggestion.
