The demise of g3k was in this thread: Scientists find evolution of life. It was a thread started by Dales. In post 359, g3k summoned Jim Robinson. JR appeared at post 363 and told g3k: "No one is compelling you to participate on these threads or even on this forum. If you don't like what other posters are saying on these threads, why don't you just stay off of them?"

The thread drags on, but g3k went rapidly downhill. On his own. His last post was 421. Post 425 seems to be the banning.

So, a nefarious conspiracy between Gore3000 and Gore3000 to get Gore3000 banned. The dog. We don't want that kind of dirty conspiratorial behaviour round here...Oh...Wait...

g3k summoned Jim Robinson.

IOW, he invited the executioner to his own execution.

Or, to put in a way that even the most brain-addled delusional paranoid can understand it: g3k summoning JR of his own free will and volition, and subsequent bad behavior, was the proximate cause of his own banning. No "War Room" at DarwinCentral™, no conspirators, no conspiracy. Just a lone, out-of-control asshole getting his just desserts, as a consequence of summoning and then insulting the owner of this forum.

Thanks for helping to clear that up.

Re: The infamous g3K banning thread.

I urge you all to read that first page and have a moment of silence for ol' f.christian. JimRob's initial response to him is classic.

What was most odd about perhaps the oddest prolific poster of yore, he would send me perfectl coherent and normal sounding FReepmails from time to time. I had mentioned I was going to be honeymooning in Hawaii back in 6/03 and he offered to show me around Maui. I, however, wasn't going to Maui (rather Kauai, Big Island, Oahu) but damnit, I almost changed my plans just to see him.

so anyway, I DID go to Maui last May and took a cab once in Lahaina (he had said he drove a cab) and the driver was slightly insane. But I was afraid to ask...

Gee, didn't somebody make some noise about whom it might have been who was CONSPIRING to get the MODS involved? BEHOLD, from the thread in question:

You do have a lamentable tendency to fly off the handle and take insults when they weren't intended.

One more insult from you, I will have it reported for abuse. Bug off.

And now you know..... the rest of the story.
