:::: That is not surprising, given your usage of the rule to ban those who suggest that you should argue against the points made, rather than insulting those who made them. Here's a recent example: http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Talk%3AMain_Page&action=historysubmit&diff=984012&oldid=984011 . Perhaps you should should review the page on [[ad hominem]] attacks. (Note, if you respond, it may be a long time before I reply, because Conservapedia prevents editting during the night in the US, which makes it difficult to find a reasonable time where I can edit. Not everyone lives in the US.) - [[User:JamesCA|JamesCA]] 22:25, 1 June 2012 (EDT)

The reason for the 90/10 rule existing is not to squash debate, however, that is how it is used. I recently came across a discussion on a topic, where after a few posts by each of the two discussing the topic, one decided to use the 90/10 rule to block them. In the middle of a discussion! The 90/10 rule should be removed because it fails in its aims, and is used to clamp down on opposing opinions. Instead, conservapedia should be encouraging users to become more involved and to contribute to more articles, which would be way more effective than the 90/10 rule. - [[User:JamesCA|JamesCA]] 02:36, 17 March 2012 (EDT)
