I promise to stay off Thunderbolts.info. People don’t have to read about disreputable theories on FR without dissenting opinions. There are plenty of places they can go.

I’ve told you my policy about posting on FR which isn’t going to change. And your authority over me is still zilch.

It is ALSO not your forum to act as the policeman about who can and cannot post on FreeRepublic. . . or to determine the topics that can be posted on FR. You are not the moderator.

Why not try responding to the questions with reasonable explanations of how those objects which are far larger, and far more energetic, than our solar system can exist in a purely gravity driven Universe, instead of just throwing spit wads? I have been trying to engage you in a discussion but you simply insult people who attempt it, with the equivalent of a dismissive Internet "Whatever," and cover your eyes and ears with your hands.

You are the very essence of what this article is pointing out:

"To be a “skeptic” today means to attack new ideas; to marginalize the opposition with a coordinated offensive designed to eliminate competitive viewpoints. It is usually couched in a variety of logical fallacies: appeal to authority; denigration of personality; arguing adverse consequences; or demanding adherence to tradition. As the old gospel song fervently asserts, “If it was good for Paul and Silas, it’s good enough for me”.

So far, in two threads, you have hit everyone of those logical fallacies. . . and touched on ad hominem. Your intent is to be disagreeable and disruptive. Fine. Go ahead. Be a troll.
