Quote (Touchstone @ Sep. 24 2009,01:50) | Quote (Reciprocating Bill @ Sep. 23 2009,22:41) | My long-lived, most excellent puppet Diffaxial has been silently banninated at UD, following a mild tweak of StephenB. I'll reconstruct that jibe from memory as best I can: Quote | 30 years later, StephenB sits alone on a park bench, clutching his cane:
"And then I said, all things that come to exist have a... uh...uh... a something. A cause! Ha! By cracky Diffaxitive I got you that time. That's what I said! I think that's, I think that's what I said. Heh Heh. I said. Heh. That Diffixative."
:D |
Too close to homeless, apparently.
This occurred on the Shrinking Timeline thread.

Diffaxial is banninated?? Ouch. That was a hell of a run.
I saw that that StephenB's witty retort -- something like "Diffaxial needs a laxative!" *yuk, yuk* -- got removed, too, so I was thinking it was just mod prudery against both sides...
That thread was easily the most lopsided spanking of StephenB I've seen to date (if only because it "summed" so many other damning points from previous threads). One *almost* gets the sense that StephenB has gotten a bit of glimpse of the scope and breadth of his mistakes at the "right reasoning" level. But that sense only lasts until you read his next post…
Diffaxial RIP. |
Thanks, Touch. ETA: And Alan Fox, too.
I never saw his witty riposte.
What amazes me about StephenB was that no matter what sort of drubbing his shtick receives on one thread (he abandoned several threads in frustration during my run), he pops up on another a week later with the same unmodified horseshit with no apparent memory of the beating, no memory of any of the points raised, or any awareness that his argument has already been subject to autopsy and interment.
But doesn't that describe ID generally?
