When people have bias towards applicants because that person is their friend or they fight with that person, it's because they have a reason they feel that way about them. When they express their opinions as to whether or not that person will make a good moderator, it is not only bias, but their actual feelings about the person. They would think that way about that person whether they were actually friends with them or not, so the bias issue needs to go away, because bias is opinions.

Just by reading that I can tell that either you don't know what we talking about anymore or you don't know how to express what you are thinking in a way that allows me to clearly understand.

WE ARE talking about the bias due to competition of the applicants. WE ARE talking about bias opinions of applicants critiquing other applicants. Not bias due to the relationship between and applicants and members. We want members opinions, but we don't want opinions of people in competition with one another.

She knows perfectly well what you're talking about. She just didnt refer to applicants as seperate entities, because they ARE members, and therefore specification wasn't necessary, as the clear focus of the previous discussion mean tthat it was implied

James, I'm not critiquing your grammar or spelling techniques... but I will give you some advice on how to avoid typos for the rest of forever :]

goto: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

download the firefox browser. It's the best browser I have ever used,and it even has built in spell check (right-click on words you misspell (or typo) just like in Microsoft Office).



I guess just didn't get that out of her post... she should have quoted.

*shrugs*

I'm not bothered by my typing, but thanks anyway
