This is going back aways now but on PT just before the Dover judgment Sal rode in and tried to clear up Demski's definitions for CSI etc etc.

It was like watching a guy trying to stand on ball bearings in slippery boots on wet rocks.

He forgot that some people actually have memories that last for more than 3 seconds.

When asked to define CSI in Standard English without using the words complex, specified or information he lost the plot and blew a gasket.

The private definition that Dembski uses for his pseudo math is typical crackpot behavior, like that guy trying to sue PZ. What?s his name again?


BWHAHhahahahahahahahahahhehehehehehehehe

*snigger*

How much shit can these guys eat?

Joe is the Maytag Man. ?The Frigidaire Biologist. ?The Astrophysicist of the Deep Freeze. ?The Kitchen Muslim....

Really? ? He's a repairman? ?Fantastic.

Well, sure, in a manner. He works for General Electric, which does makes consumer appliances.  They also make jet engines, railroad locomotives, medical imaging equipment, and desalination plants to name a few.

Has Joe actually stated what he does service?

Not sure if he has made that explicit.  He once told me, however, that he worked on stuff that required an extra-special, top secret clearance and that was the reason he couldn't discuss any of his job qualifications.

He never did answer my inquiry into whether or not the NSA was happy that he constantly jawed about his security clearances, place of work, and home address all in the same 3 sentences.

This Joeism was posted on Uncommon Descent, so I wasn't sure whether to post it here or on the Official Uncommonly Dense Discussion Thread.

Anyway, the issue is Joe's progressive use of quotes.

He has also claimed that he had to take an IQ test for his job, and boasted on the KCFS forum that he did it very quickly, and that the title of his job has the term 'scientist' in it.

Hey, if atheism is a religion, then "not scientist" is a job!

Joe's back on my blog.  He refuses to admit he's wrong.  Surprise!

That is: my joke blog pro-science (linked above), not paralepsis.

Has anybody experienced anything threatening from Joe G?  He recently responded to a comment on his blog by identifying me by name and by my institution.  I responded on my blog and his, but I'd like to know of previous instances like this.

Interesting... I'm thinking that Ed Brayton or one of his lawyerly minions might have some good feedback about this.

Looks to me though, as if Joe G is  a Creo On The Edge - of course most of them are.   :)

Watching Davescot, Dembski, Salvador, FtK, etc, over the years, I have to say that personality issues are not foreign to them.

Oh yeah.  That's all JoeG has really, are threats.  I find it funny that he equates threats with evidence, but I really think he's too lazy to execute any of them.

While never quite reaching the DaveScot threat level, JoeG once told me he could kill me if I showed up at his door.  This was after he invited me to show up at his door.

Since he's published it before in his invites to come and challenge him:

Joe Gallien; Manchester, NH

I'll leave it to him to tell you his address; though he's also published this before.

In Which I cry "Uncle" to Joe G:
Quote
Joe G has taken to physically threatening me if I do not stipulate that what he says he meant now is what he meant then. He also knows who I am, and where I work, and he lives not too far from me. He has said, "And I am being very generous by saying that on this blog as opposed to driving a few miles to say it to your face," and also "I will do whatever it takes to stop it." So, agreed Joe G. You win. What you say you meant now is what you meant then.

Someone identified your name and town on this blog, and like a decent person, I deleted it.

See how we can resolve arguments amicably?

I'm so glad you are able to convince people by way of reasoned argument.

Also, I'm fat.

Joe's from New Hampshire, right?

Better not mess with Joe. He's got big muscles from pushing around all those washing machines and ovens.

Actually, I suspect our Joe is firmly in the David Springer category of "ID Pseudo-Tough Guy". In other words, if you visited him at his home, he'd turn off all the lights and pretend not to be home.

If Joe G is in New Hampshire, we drink different water.  Mine comes from the mighty Quabbin, and it's fine indeed.

I'm in the Boston area.  As to documentaries, I only know Haunting the Quabbin, a great radio documentary produced by WBUR.  The former town residents still hold ceremonial town meetings every year.  Very poignant.  

Also there's James Tate's poem "Quabbin Reservoir" (in Distance from Loved Ones, 1990), which includes the following passage:
Quote
There was a village at the bottom of the lake,
and I could just make out the old post office,
and, occasionally, when the light struck it just right,
I glimpsed several mailmen swimming in or out of it,
letters and packages escaping randomly, 1938, 1937,
it didn't matter to them any longer.  Void.
No such address.

It was called, "Under Quabbin"

Disturbing but fascinating. I would sugest that you remove the links. Joe G may not do anything but some other nutcase might.

Is there no legal means to go after Joe G for doing this? Perhaps you should consult a legal expert. Make sure it isn't Larry Fafarman though.

Joe G, what a childish wanker. His employer might also be interested in his behaviour. I hope you are keeping records of these antics.

I don't understand what you are saying.

Do you have evidence that Joe G's employer knows about his internet activities and doesn't care?
Does Joe G actually work in a vetted environment on secret classified subjects? He may well do. But vetting is quite concerned with honesty.

The questions could go on. I am not trying to interogate you though. I just do not understand what you are claiming and would like some clarification.

Wait, isn't there some Joe Gallien legend from a couple years back where he got canned from his job for blogging during working hours or something like that?

(You know, around the same time period when he was a Muslim for a couple hours.)

One and the same, although he denies that his termination was related to his internet threats.

And here's one for the he's-even-dumber-than-we-thought file.  Joe actually thinks that the evolution of the vision system should be attributable to a certain gene or set of genes:

 
Quote
No, genes don't hang around for hundreds of thousands of years directing mutation and selection.

Can you verify that answer scientifically?

Or is assertion the best you have?

Oh, he was canned for actually threatening people online during working hours? Who and how?

That story's even better!

I think it was on the old NAiG site.  I don't know if it's archived any longer.  If someone remembers the old URL, maybe they can check the Wayback Machine.

Here are a couple of posts at Telic Snots discussing it after the fact.
