    Elisabeth,

    I certainly dis not mean to be condescending. I was merely using the term in the sense that it has been used many times before. I apologise unreservedly for any offencce caused to you, or to anyone else.

    I guess, that you refer to following comment by the Moderator ElisabethB.:

    So, there are a handful of 'serious' zooites? What does that make the rest of us ? Sorry, I find that a very condescending term.

    The disussion was moved from the Help Board to the Science Board.

    I didn't perceive it as a condescending term. I am an ordinary volunteer.

    I find, that she used a rather condescending term in another discussion yesterday. :

    Merged PeterD other thread into the original discussion, so everything is kept in one place.

    @Zutopian - I would suggest that you do not make inflammatory posts regarding conversations you are not involved in.

    Well, "'serious" is also used in the description of the board "Science Powered by Citizens"!:

    A sounding board / contemplation area for our serious Citizens Scientists. All other posts will be moved / removed. For questions on the object you have classified, please post in Help/ The Objects - Thanks

    PS: This is the short version of the post, which I did in the discussion "Status and future of Letters" today.: http://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000007/discussions/DGZ0000won

    @Zutopian

    I have replied to you in that thread, but I do not know what you are trying to achieve. So what if ElisabethB does not like the term 'Serious Citizen Scientist' ?

    I don't like the term Zooite 😃

    The last time I checked, moderators were allowed to have their own opinions!

    In fact, reading back on this thread I have decided to lock it.
    It was a matter between Elisabeth and PeterD, that was very amicably resolved. The only point I can see in your recent posts is to try and provoke an argument.
