You know why. I have been on threads that have been pulled, and recently had a thread of my own pulled, and in each case, I can understand why they did it.
You have to realize that CHEAP ABUNDANT ENERGY is a very provocative subject and like the RELIGIOUS threads, often a FLAME WAR ensues with massive personal attacks.
While one can support your quest to 'inform' the world of new developments, I must say that it seems you get some joy out of the controversy on YOUR threads, because you work very hard to 'engage' others in debate.
What I mean is that if it really bothered you that much, you have complete freedom to post your information on other websites.
Jim Robinson (and Mods) have more concern over the continuance of F.R. as a FAMILY FRIENDLY OPEN FORUM DISCUSSION WEBSITE where DEBATE is to be conducted with SOME CIVILITY and RESPECT FOR OTHERS.
When a thread deteriorates with personal abuse, regardless to the intent of the 'author', then it must go.
You see that, don't you ?

***Then maybe posting it to the smoky backroom is the right thing to do after all.
While one can support your quest to ‘inform’
***why do you put a quote around the word?
the world of new developments,
***That is exactly my quest, without the hint of sarcasm.
I must say that it seems you get some joy out of the controversy on YOUR threads,
***Not at all. I don’t shy away from controversy, but it isn’t enjoyable. I must say that all the personal attacks and abuse from fellow freepers is unexpected and disappointing, especially when this “new development” has been independently verified by 7 scientists.
because you work very hard to ‘engage’ others in debate.
***Again, why do you put a quote mark around the word? I agree with the statement without the intended sarcasm. I do engage others in debate. But so many people resort to classic fallacies that it’s astounding they have college degrees. Critical thinking is a freshman level, required course. Yet we see classic fallacies from people who claim graduate level exposure in sciences. It is astounding.
like the RELIGIOUS threads, often a FLAME WAR ensues with massive personal attacks.
***Religious threads have gotten far calmer with the implementation of caucus type threads. Religion mod does a great job.
