Diffaxial posted about eight months or so during which he had some blistering exchanges, particularly with StephenB. To be honest, after all that I was surprised when he was banned. He was reincarnated a few more months as Voice Coil. A few other characters sounded suspiciously like him, and made only brief appearances.
Some time later Clive Hayden, who moderated UD during that period (but seems to be missing in action for the last six months or so), entered a discussion on moderation at UD that arose at Biologos. You can read his post-hoc rationalizations here. The discussion starts on comment page 19 and continues to the end of the thread. |
Cool, thanks. The exchanges with StephenB I remember well. Hadn't seen the back forth with Hayden at Biologos, so that'll be something interested to go read.
I'm particularly interested in which UD partisans venture out of the safe confines of UD and how they fare when they do. I know DaveScot didn't do too well when he didn't have the Banninator in hand. It would be entertaining to see Arrington or KF or Upright Biped have to operate on more neutral ground. |
Upright BiPed showed up on Lizzie's blog for a short period. Once the obfuscatory language surrounding his "semiotic argument" was pared off, it turned out (Shock! Horror!) that there is no there there. |
I don't think that counts as an appearance. UB didn't have the stones to enter into dialog there. Rather, he referred back to his sheltered contributions at UD.
