Aug 24, 2012 at 6:44 comment added Ron Maimon @LubošMotl: I think 'tHooft has contributed to the discussions here greatly, even though I disagree with the technical content of some of his answers and comments. It's like having Einstein on your websight, you can learn from the methods and ideas without agreeing with everything. Also, nobody is trying to control David, but it takes a little bit of judgement, and I used to be always on pins and needles that stuff that I'm thinking about will get deleted.
Aug 23, 2012 at 18:38 comment added David Z Mod @Luboš I appreciate the reasonable comment :-) I've found that the viewpoint of Stack Exchange Inc. toward comments is apparently not as straightforward as you or I would like it to be, and in my actions as a moderator I have to put the official SE policy above my own personal view of how the site should be run (which is what leads me to post this answer). It does make things difficult at times.
Aug 23, 2012 at 13:36 comment added Luboš Motl Sensible attitudes, David. Please don't get controlled by anybody else, there are good reasons why you're a moderator. I seem to share your viewpoint on the role of questions, answers, and comments, and it would be unwise to distort these things just because the name of a user in them is 't Hooft whose contributions to this server are, I strongly believe, below those of an average user rather than above it.
