Moderator bias

I, personally, feel I have been unfairly treated by the following moderator(s):

  • Total voters

Yeah, but then I'll just go to 'The Forum which Cannot be Named'. So you don't win ;)

What's that old saying? "When you drive rats out, they go somewhere else."

We need an emoticon for pulling out hair and having a mega temper tantrum. I need to use it here.:D
 
Also I have to say, I get many reports that I don't respond to.Not because I hate the people who make the reports (in fact, more often than not, it is someone I respect, or another moderator); because I have my own ideas how the B&G and S&S forums should be developed and I disagree with their ideas. For that reason, I have posted my ideas on moderation in both forums I moderate in, so as to avoid any confusion with the other, nonscience forums on the board and to distinguish between my ideas and those of other moderators.

got plenty of those already, so I was counting more on something like this:

Yes, much more than we do. That is if we are talking about arboreal species. They live in a world that is more 3 dimensional than ours.

How do we know this? (or you, rather, since I don't)

Is their decision making inductive in nature or are they guided primarily by instinct?

Hey, a real science question for a real biologist that knows a lot about evolution...

Were we (humans) once arboreal living in riparian zones?
How certain is this?

Surely you jest when you say instinctive since releasing the average monkey from an animal facility into the wild will get him killed in no time.

And surely I jest by trying to answer such a broad question in general terms.

There is a lot of evidence that some primate species not only have a spatial map of their surroundings, but also a temporal map. This cannot be accomplished by a genetic mechanism alone and hence needs also to be learned. A fig tree is ready to ripen. A week later it would be a good time to visit it.

Different species of monkey travel through the forest together in Africa, each occupying a different level. All keenly aware of who is where on what level, even being able to interpret each other's alarm calls, surpassing the average American by knowing 3 to 4 languages at least, and being able to find the mall (fruit tree) without roads or a car.

The world of monkeys is deep and satisfying. Just as my intestines.
