Bailing out of controversy.
I'm going to stay away from other topics, because of all the unpleasantness, blocking, banning, and complaining that I see. I recognize that running a site like this isn't easy, but I just don't want to get involved in those controversies. [[User:CScience|CScience]] 22:05, 24 May 2007 (EDT)

Unfortunately, I have decided not to attempt to edit anything related to Creation Science or related "controversial" subjects. I will stick to "hard science"—physics, chemistry, and mathematics. It had been my plan to work up to issues relating to Mach's principle and its implications for geocentrism, heliocentrism, and galaxy dynamics, but that won't happen.
It had not been my intention to write anything provocative relative to what seemed to be the norms of this web site. However, after looking around at various pages and talk pages, I can't figure out what is acceptable, what the policies actually are, and how those policies are applied. See, for example, the bickering on [[Talk:Geocentric_theory]], [[User_talk:CPAdmin1/Proposed_Block_Policy]], or many sysops' talk pages. The penalty for making a wrong judgment is severe—permanent banishment. It's not worth the risk. There is still plenty that I can do on non-controversial (I hope!) science, like try to explain [[Maxwell's Equations]] at the high school level. [[User:CScience|CScience]] 21:52, 8 June 2007 (EDT)
