I have an idea. Let's let FTK, Larry Fafarman, and VMartin battle to the death on their own thread here. Whichever one comes out alive in a month wins, and gets to moderate their own thread here.

I've noticed for years now that the crackpots never talk to each other on these blogs, and that's just not right.

well, the first problem is that people who share similar mental disabilities typically end up enabling each other's delusions.

neither wins when two schizophrenics debate each other.

second problem is...

how on earth do you tell who "won"?

That's not my problem. ;)

I envision a sort of Godzilla-meets-Rodan-meets-Mothra type scenario, where the three of them flame and blast each other for a month. There's no way all three of them can survive that indefinitely, so whoever's left standing last 'wins'.

Maybe to help things along, we can include Davison instead of VMartin. With his egomania and insistence that Goddidit-then-died, there's no way they'd befriend each other.

Davison has been very banned. I am not privy to exactly why, and haven't asked, but I would guess the answer is something like "relentless insanity".

It's a sociologically very interesting question. I think it's because even the crackpots can tell that the other crackpots are crackpots, and thus they don't want to be associated with them. Crackpots are looking for acceptance, not solidarity with other 'pirahnas'.

wait...

isn't UD a complete counter to that?  isn't it a place where loonies converse with each other, endlessly reinforcing their own lunacy?

I'm wondering why we need a new thread for that, when we can readily observe it on a daily basis?

am I missing something?

More like "complete inability to stay on topic". Mind you, digression is pretty standard fare, but people posting here more or less do touch base with the topic at hand from time to time.

I always found him to be rather disturbing, actually.

to see someone degrade mentally from where he was publishing papers in Science, to his current state, is simply hard to watch.

frankly, and I doubt I am alone in this, I would rather not be reminded of it by his daily postings.

there is plenty enough of his current material out there for any person who still IS sane to readily be able to make the conclusion without another invitation for him to do it all over again here.

You are a frightened, verbally abusive, lonely man with a brilliant mind that you are not using right now, and I refuse to be angry with you. You are no gentleman but I forgive you.

Whatever you are going through, and however you behave, just keep in mind that whenever you really need to talk, or if you are in trouble, I am here.

You are getting old, and this fight that you are waging is not worth your life, your precious life, nor your time, nor your energy. Someday you are going to need a real human being to talk to, so remember that I am here.

I refuse to engage in these fights any longer. I have nothing, really, against you.


Turn that other cheek, girl!!!

Well, Larry has been posting on my blog recently (achieving some level of coherence) and AtBC cropped up, and he claimed never to have posted here, (I guess there may be one or two referred posts on the bathroom wall) and said he was not interested as you guys wind him up.

I could try a thread for Larry, Martin, Ftk, JAD and DaveScot if he's interested.  JAD has been tearing into Dave over his global warming threads recently.

Well, one can dream...

During the war I met a wonderful chap by the name of Lola Bigguns. Marvellous bloke, post operative transsexual. Went on to be something massive in aeronautical engineering. anyway the reason I mention this is because I saw a plane yesterday whilst barbecuing some steaks. Lovely stakes they were they were Kobi beef from a Wagyu herd that roams around on the grass ina meadow near my house. Funny thing grass. Can't walk on it, illegal to smoke it. Speaking of smoking, England goes smoke free on 1st of July, which when you think about it is close to the 4th of July.

Happy Independence Day America!

Louis

P.S. As a piece of off topic drivel, I'm quite proud of that.

P.P.S. I reckon JAD and Larry should be excluded from any tard fest on medical grounds. Tard is only funny when it comes from people who should know better. When they are deeply in need of help it becomes a little unpleasant to watch. I go with a 3 way fight between Clouser, AFDave and DaveScot.

Elsberry's Alamo! LOL. He can be kind of funny in his insults. I still get a kick out of him calling Davescot a "homozygous pile of garbage."

Davison has been very banned. I am not privy to exactly why, and haven't asked, but I would guess the answer is something like "relentless insanity".


And I guess the problem is John Davison's concept of prescribed evolution you are so afraid of. An idea of directed evolution is something darwinists hate at most. They somehow feel deep inside that mystery of life can't be an outcome of random mutation&natural selection. To supress their conscience they only  bawl as if at a football match. Yet darwinists have no arguments - see this thread  or One blog a day where John is participating.

It is also weird that folks here mentioned insanity. It looks here like in a cage of fools. Many of darwinists are probably ventilating here their atheistic frustration from their senseless life.

Also the literary surrealistic woman dividing her time between oriental dancing and neodarwinism is a curious case.

So I would reccomend that John Davison should be let in, becasue his opinions are sound and his concept of evolution shed light on evolutionary process.

Thank you for explaining what I feel deep inside.  I had no idea I felt that.

Now run along, and come back when you've found a way to falsify "directed evolution".

Not gonna happen, not so long as there is no sign that Davison has not fundamentally changed his approach to discussion. He was given loads of chances to shape up, and demonstrated vividly that he was a detriment to discussion. So any notion that he should be reinstated would be an extraordinary claim requiring, wouldn't you know, extraordinary evidence. And since that was a moderation decision, further discussion of it here can be considered excessively annoying immediately. If you think you have the extraordinary evidence in hand, communicate that via PM or email, not in discussion threads.

This is really very interesting. The name and topic of this thread is as far as I see  

Topic: JAD was banned again from UD..., Can we let him post here again?


So what is this topic about?  Does "Can we let him post here again" mean in neodarwinian newspeak that any darwinists here can denigrate John Davison whenever he likes but adressing the topic itself is somehow excessively annoying ? And must be adressed via PM or email, not in this discussion thread ?

The thread is old, and the decision was made a good while ago. A few people have ventured that he should be allowed back since then, but the moderators banned him for a reason, and he's not coming back.

I have now become your JAD's amateur psychotherapist, in between work, play, and shakin' the blues (Nabokov's blues) away! Versatile, I am.

It's better than being a broken record skipping incessantly in a deserted room, like some people that I could mention. ;)

Out of curiosity, VMartin, do you agree with John's belief that God is now dead?

That's a point.

The position I'm taking is that Davison lost his posting privileges despite being given way too many extra chances to show that he could be a positive influence on discussion. He was treated specially, and extended posting privileges on PT far longer than someone without his credentials would have been tolerated. All that means that Davison doesn't get to post here, not himself and not by proxy. If anyone wants to discuss that topic anymore, do it via private channels.

Topic closed.
