Martin Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 http://www.scienceforums.net/forums/showthread.php?p=209231#post209231 I was asking revprez about his views on cosmology and evolution. I am still curious and would like to continue, if he would have the courtesy to reply. The end-segment of the thread we were in, has been moved to Metaphysics, which is fine with me. Except that it does not show up on the Homepage board, so revprez may not know where to look for it. So this post is intended to show up on the Homepage board and to provide a link to where the tailend of the thread we were in went to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellbender Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Well, we won't be hearing any more pedantic drivel from revprez anymore. Truely, a glorious day for SFN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I've never felt bad about banning anyone until now. I don't regret it but I'm sad for the necessity. revprez is an extremely smart and knowledgable person who used to add a great deal to this forum. I don't know why he became so hateful. As YT2095 put it, he'd have been an asset if he hadn't been twisted by the Dark Side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I don't understand why people on the internet seem to think it's OK behave in a manner that, had it happened in the physical world, would likely get you punched in the nose.

Hellbender Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 revprez is an extremely smart and knowledgable person who used to add a great deal to this forum. I don't know why he became so hateful. I'll take your word on that, but all I have seen from him is attempts to pick fights by picking apart every little thing you say in an overly pedantic and insulting manner. He did nothing but derail threads and frustrate people, and you did a good thing by banning him. We are all happy, so don't feel bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 in the same post to Phi, I also told him it was a Righteous Kill. Rev had been given Every opportunity to smarten up his act (probably more than most), he failed to comply. Phi did the right thing. `nuff said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Peon Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I never understood beyond narcissism why anyone would even want or try to somehow "win" in a scientific debate. Proving facts and figures to correct some one is one thing, but twisting words to make yourself "win" is inane in my opinion and counter-productive. Sorry I needed to say that, cause after reading the above thread where he got banned, I found myself getting irritated reading his posts, which is odd for some one with much patience like I have.

JPQuiceno Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 O.K, Ladies & Gentlemen. Now that this era is over, how about we SFN'ers grab a cold one (wether it be alcoholic or not), and every year on September 21, make it a SFN holiday, and toast to a long life of SFN! ::Lifts drink and makes toast:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 YT lifts a beer to that effect (any old excuse). and on that note, I`ll close this thread, it was afterall only kept alive for revs benefit. bit of a moot point now isn`t it Thread Closed...
