Suspension of zbigniew.modrzejewski has been extended to indefinite because he used a sockpuppet to evade suspension.

zbigniew.modrzejewski has been suspended a week for spamming the forums with off-topic nonsense (of both the pet theory and off-topic commentary kinds) and the above-mentioned sockpuppetry ————— tkadm30 has returned from suspension only to revisit his chemtrail nonsense that we told him to not post, so he will not return for at least 30 days

! Moderator Note The term was defined/clarified in the OP. Let's stay on-topic.

That doesn't answer my question.

! Moderator Note Which discussion do you wish to pursue? Asking the question or presenting your own hypothesis? You don't get to do both in one thread.

! Moderator Note Please stop doing this. ! Moderator Note And while I'm at it, please stop doing this. If you have concerns about rules violations, use the report post function. This has no place in the current discussion. ! Moderator Note The request was for "links to peer reviewed articles, or articles written by reputable authors"

tkadm30 has been suspended a week for repeated thread hijacking (if we tell you to stop introducing a topic into threads on other subjects, it's best to stop doing it)

gustavoo has been banned as a sockpuppet of Jaya Jagannath

! Moderator Note Several recent OT posts have been split off to the trash. Which can happen if you aren't addressing the topic under discussion.

SamCogar has been suspended three days for persistent soapboxing. The eventual fate of anyone who fails to present evidence to support claims.

Theoretical has been suspended for abusing the status update feature, despite being warned. 60 days (infrequent appearance dictates a long suspension, so it has an effect on behavior)

paragaster has been added

madmac has been suspended for a week for continually failing to meet the level of rigor we require in our speculations discussions

Air Between the Notes has been suspended 3 days for persistent thread hijacking resulting in preaching.

No, it's not. Despite the fact that you can do that as an algorithm, it's not the same concept.

We don't add feet to pounds, though, we multiply them. (You could have units of apple-oranges, too, under some bizarre set of circumstances where apple and oranges were a unit and not a description.) Adding different units doesn't happen.

pittsburghjoe has been banned for failing to improve his behavior after suspension: continually failing to support claims (i.e. soapboxing), on top of the sockpuppetry.

strangelove and giordani bruno have been banned as sockpuppets of farolero edit: add Hipaso to that list

pittsburghjoe has been suspended a week for repeated posting of unsupported pet theories in the main science section, despite repeated direction not to do this. Update: Adding another week for violating the rule on sockpuppetry

! Moderator Note Speculation belongs in the speculations forum (and needs proper support for the discussion. Unsupported opinion is not enough). Please restrict feedback in this thread to mainstream physics, and stay on-topic.

! Moderator Note Moved to religion. Please clarify what it is you wish to discuss.

Tahir Gorgen has been added and will remain until he can learn to not hijack threads and not post nonsense
