Unfortunately I can't split topics, but otherwise I agree it's a good idea. Oh, come on, you can rewrite the proboards code from their own server to eat Rocky's cookies and you can't split a measly thread?

Rocky has been banned for 30 days for repeatedly making unfounded accusations against other members of the forum and for disregarding warnings from me. If, after his return, he continues this behaviour he will be banned permanently.

I hope no one makes a martyr out of him. He's just someone that doesn't follow instructions. I wonder if he even follows the car manual's figure for setting the gap on spark plugs.

After re-reading some parts of the book "Bad Astronomy", I saw a part that reminded me of Rocky's responses. In the chapter were Dr. Plait mentions his attempt to describe why the sky is blue to his five year old, her response was "All that stuff you said doesn't make any sense." Of course, that's understandable. Dr. Plait was using technical terms. He gave a simplier explaination later. Now with Rocky, he makes similar claims. However, he reveals that the claims of those that support his ideas do make sense. Thoughts?

conceptually some tried technical, scientific and logical. experimentally some tried accessible, observable, and provable, inevitably some entertained the ideas and took them to conclusions using the above.
let us hope that Dr. Plaits Daughter whether her inclination be inclined either to the artistic, fanciful, technical or logical, she at least can understand what is plausible or reasonable.

Well, he has said she's very bright. She figured out what something was in a video of one of the shuttle launches. I'm willing to bet she'll take over the Dr. Plait's job as the BA in the future.
Anyway, the main point I had is that Rocky's respones were akin to that of someone not familar with the terms used. Difference was, that Rocky was unwilling to learn, and unwilling to listen to things that countered his world views.

As you may have noticed, Rocky has been banned again... this time it will be permanent. He continued to make baseless accusations against the members of the forum, as well as continuing to make the same debunked hoax claims. He is a troll, plain and simple, and I've given him enough of my patience.

Crap! I was on the verge of getting Rocky to get a library card! Seriously, Rocky, if you're still viewing, don't stop searching for the truth...just get more resources, don't rely just on YouTube and Sibrel and company. It will be fun, I guarantee it.

He's was back for so short a time that I wonder why you even bothered.

He could've changed. Where there's life, there's hope. It wasn't likely, but it's always possible.

Yes, thanks Gillianren. I was hoping that he could change, as unlikely as that sounds. Plus, now he can't really go to his friends and claim I treated him unfairly. I gave him plenty of chances to make his arguments, and everything he wrote is still there.
