Case dismissed, get out of my courtroom Mr LP. Balif, please escort this imbecile to the door.


The word is "bailiff". Please escort this imbecile to the door. Indeed.

LP has had ample opportunity to answer questions, but he'd rather fly off the handle and demonstrate his mental instability every time slight criticism is offered.


Davew, here ya go. More hate speech. You said you have policies to deal with it, let's see you deal with it already. Or are you only able to talk and nit-pick?

My posts reveal a higher level of mental stability than this person, unless correct spelling and sentence structure are signs of mental instability.

Speaking for myself, I would say his criticisms are quite appropriate. I'm particularly fond of "delusional fuckwit". Quite apt I might say.


MORE hate speech.

Well, davew? You gonna follow through and do something or not?

Davew :
If le Penseur wants to continue to insist that he is guilty of bannable offenses here (and he's already provided me with the evidence that he thinks is sufficient to prove it), then I'll ban him, no anger needed.


So ban me if you feel you can justify that. Just make certain you ban these others who are guilty of hate speech first. Now stop trying to throw your weight around and do something about this hate speech these friends of yours keep spouting. Ban them for it.

I'm officially calling your bluff.

No, I think what we are all missing is the step-by-step reasoning behind how your personal life experiences turn into a protected life philosophy.

le Penseur. Are you trying to miss Dave's point? You have been throwing out insults too! Is that also hate speech? If we go by YOUR criteria, we would have to punt you too!!! Knock it off already. Honestly. Stop posting today and go chill out somewhere. Take some deep breaths or something.

Absolutely.
If you say so. You will now be treated as you say you deserve.

 Moderation Notice 

le Penseur, your account is now suspended for 30 days. Do not register another account, and do not attempt to contact SFN staff until April 23rd, 2011, at the earliest. If, after that time, you would like have your posting privileges re-instated, send an email to me making such a request.

Just be certain to execute it against yourself and the other guilty parties first.
Why? I am not the one who thinks insults are hate speech. I only offered to hold you to the standards you think I should enforce. I never said I'd hold anyone else to those standards.

No, he wanted to martyr himself by admin. I'm happy to help. Now he can complain somewhere else about "inconsistent moderation policies" here, and get laughed at even more because he brought it on himself.

This is why I just started with insults on page one, it was clear from post #1 that we wouldnt be getting anything besides buttsmoke from this guy.

If he wasn't on page one he quickly became one when people started asking difficult question and pointing out the obvious inconsistencies in his ability to reason and in his story.

To one, and all......

I have truly enjoyed my three years and seven months on SFN. Reams of material to sort through, and some fond memories of a lot of clever guys and gals. I want to thank Kil for being an all around adult, and Hal for an expression of wisdom which IMO is all too scarce around here. I will really miss Filthy and Mooner and Cune for their wise moderation in all things. Including abstention, a discipline I never will learn.

I have learned a great deal about a great many areas of the human odyssey here, and I thank everyone without exception for contributing to that learning experience. Humbert, Dr. Mabuse and Dude have expressed doubt that I have actually understood much about the nature and essence of skepticism. This is not true.

Actually, I have greatly expanded my comprehension of certain subsets of the overall subject of Skepticism. The current focus on Critical Thinking, for example, despite a long history, is in high vogue at this point in history. I certainly feel strongly updated compared to the subject I studied en academia years ago. From Dewey, just past the turn of the century, thru the Frankfurt School, on to Mezirow and Brookfield in the late 20th century - the concepts have been refined and broadened. And some very useful tools developed.

But in the global schema of human cognition, CT in all its glory is still parochial. My difficulty of useful learning curve has become asymptotic.

In addition, the current climate here in SFN is uncomfortable for me right now; it violates some of my basic ethics. So, for that reason, and to forestall the inevitable, I am going to take an indefinite sabbatical from posting here. There is quite enough heavy-handedness going on in the mideast, in our own US Government, and in the microcosm that is SFN, for me to give reason to add to the carnage.

Goodbye all, and perhaps we will hear each other again. To paraphrase the ancient Persians; This Too shall Change (and I can only hope for the better)
