I have already requested that Neutron and rpenner delete the troll, so of course I'm with you on this.
I fear that rpenner's powers are too limited to do anything, unfortunately. He gets paid nothing to shovel the stable, I'm told.
That seems to be why the same SOBs are allowed to repeat their atrocities with impunity and no repercussions. The board administrator should get off his advertising-money *** and do something positive. The FM was nothing compared to this hemorrhagic diarrhea from Fairy, and the admin here knows his IP address. There is no reason to allow this crap, except that it drives revenue from ad clicks.
Maybe that's why they are so quick to delete the Viagra and phone scam posts? No return on that...
Of course, this message is likely to be my last. After all, it isn't completely off-topic and inflammatory, and I have tried to address a hateful problem in the proper fashion. Kill the messenger and all...

I wonder if rpenner can remove all the bile from our feedback as well as the damned head-case's account?
Technically possible, but the forum owner would have to elevate me higher.
Thank you. I hope he will do that.
So far Rpenner seems rational, educated and informative. People like Fairy hate that.
On a more ironic note... I wonder what Jesus would think of Fairy's hatred and vile attacks.

RobDegraves: Oh, please. Do you REALLY believe that "Fairy" is a Christian? If you do, then you're an EXTREMELY gullible individual. "Fairy" is obviously trying to discredit Christianity with his(?) nonsense. Doesn't surprise me in the least that I'm receiving positive feedback from this individual. You know(apparently, you don't), guilt by association and all that. I suspect that Confused2's suggestion is a whole lot closer to the truth, although I don't personally suspect(I could be wrong) that this is the work of fivedoughnut/etc.

Ah, the "No true Scotsman" fallacy.

Errors in usage
In situations where the subject's status is previously determined by specific behaviors, the fallacy does not apply. For example, it is perfectly justified to say, "No true vegetarian eats meat," because not eating meat is the single thing that precisely defines a person as a vegetarian.
rpenner: If you'd like to provide an example of Fairy's "Christianity" for review, then go right ahead. I, for one, will be waiting to read it. Thanks.

The problem is where do you get a definition of what a "true" Christian would be.
We can't look into Fairy's black heart and find out whether he believes in Christ or not. Therefore we must look at what he says and does, like we would for anyone who professes to be a Christian.
That brings us to ... "What is a true Christian". The problem with that is that the definition will tend to vary wildly from one individual to the next.
In my opinion, I have met very few real Christians. Very very few.
However, that is opinion based and keep in mind that I am not a religious person myself.

Certain nouns need no adjectives. Certain verbs need no adverbs. In general certain words require no qualification.
Would you say someone is “very dead?” “Extremely honest?” “Almost loyal?”
“Christian” requires no degree of qualification? I suppose one might attempt to be a “Christian” and fail. However, certain words are absolutes.

rpenner: "Schisms" are most often the direct result of focusing on MEN as opposed to Christ Himself. Paul addressed this issue when he said:
"Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?"(I Corinthians 1:10-13)
In this example AMONGST PROFESSING CHRISTIANS, CHRIST only got 25% of the vote. One claimed to be of Paul...another of Cephas(Peter)...another of Apollos...another of Christ. There's an early day example of "denominations" or being designated by a name. Do you HONESTLY think that it's any different today? If it's different at all, then I'd suggest to you that it's different in that Christ's percentage of the vote has dropped substantially since the day of Paul's writing. During the twelve years or so that I regularly was found in so-called "Christian circles"(churches, Bible schools, conferences, etc.), I had at least hundreds of conversations with professing Christians...most likely I had thousands of conversations with them. I can honestly say that I could NEVER get ANYONE to speak about Christ. Oh, I heard a lot about the pastor, the choir, evangelists, authors, etc....seems to me that EVERY TIME I SPOKE OF CHRIST all hell broke loose. Anyhow, I'm still waiting for your documentation concerning "Fairy", if you have any.

I think you have a view of MjolnirPants that is atypical on this forum. Comparing the various comments as well as posts... I have found an odd situation.
First of all, almost all of the comments from anyone whom I consider to be serious posters here (from my limited experience), are positive for MjolnirPants. I would add the same comments for myself as far as I have been able to see so far.
In your case, not only are the comments from serious posters negative, but I find it difficult to find any of your posts that actually advance any real point or argument. All you do is complain about other people.
Is this current name of yours a new alias and you have other posts? Am I missing something?

I suppose you could just have said - "oops, sorry about that" - but that would have been expecting too much. So much for all your previous assertions that you admit it when you get something wrong!!
The bolded section contains an acknowledgment of error, dumbass. Nowhere in my post did I say you were wrong about me attributing the quote to the wrong person, you lying pissant.
Yes.
And I will, as soon as you provide even a single example of me misquoting someone (and misattributing a post doesn't count, dumbass).

Is this current name of yours a new alias and you have other posts? Am I missing something?
He is, in fact, a repeat offender. He's been banned multiple times for abusing people while whining about abuse on this forum. His previous aliases included (but are not necessarily limited to): Mirrorman, Boneidol, MickDerry, and Squeeze. I know there are more, but I can't remember them off the top of my head.
But don't expect to find anything worth reading in those posting histories, it's just more of the same crap he's spewing now. He's too stupid to realize that he's not accomplishing anything except getting himself banned. One of these days, the forum owner will either ban his IP address, or give rpenner the power to do so, and we'll be rid of him, unless he managed to figure out how to use a proxy, in which case he'll be back and spewing the same crap all over again.
I see that you are left-handed, at least in your apologies...
I don't have much, and I'm not here much, but I second this for me too. I also second the congrats to rpenner for bravely attempting truth, justice, and the American way (or something like that)
Lieutenant Commander Montgomery Scott: "The shields are down 70%! We need to redirect impulse power to the shields! Captain, are you there? Captain?"
But if you read a very good book by a person of great wisdom, you either learn some of what they learned without spending the time that they had to spend, in which case the book did it's job - it imparted wisdom successfully - or you have it not resonate in you and you relegate it to coffeetable status. The onus is on you. We can learn from each other as well as ourselves, and we are free to choose to or not. Do you think it's an evolutionary choice?

The STUPID debunkers lovers of the 9/11 official theory think that 700 architects and engineers are wrong thinking that the world trade center was controlled demolished using explosives and are asking for a new independent investigation ? you really think that 700 architects and engineers are wrong thinking that the FEMA report and NIST report are a bunch of lies ?

For the record: I only use this one handle here. Every time you accuse someone else of being my sockpuppet (even by implication) you're just making yourself look stupider.
That wasn't an apology. The following is, however:
I'm very sorry you haven't got the intelligence to comprehend the written word, I'm very sorry you haven't got the emotional maturity to behave like an adult, I'm very sorry you haven't got the integrity to avoid using lies to make your arguments.
If I'm responsible for any of this in any way, please accept my sincere apology, and rest assured that if there is anything I can do to correct my error in this, I will happily do so. But I will, of course, expect some proof that it's my fault before I start paying for your stay in a mental health facility, to get the help you need.

Since actual evidence suggests that the driving distance between the locations of MjolnirPants and Geoff Mollusc is on the order of 2.5 Mm (Great Circle distance is about 2.0 Mm), I don't think they are the same person.
Ruling: Edward 3 has made unsubstantiated claims which are inconsistent with physical evidence and unsupported by argument. This is below the expected measure of a May Day essay contest winner. Color me disappointed.

WTC control demolished
First, you don't have 700 architects and engineers, you have a few and then a bunch of troothers.
Second, we KNOW that they are wrong, 911 had no explosives and was not a controlled demo. It was an attack on our country planned by OBL and carried out by 19 Islamic extremists.
Third, Yes, they are wrong, the NIST reports are a scientific investigation into the events of that day and are not lies, you may disagree with their conclusions, but they are based on the available evidence, and only the scientific evidence. The lies are told by the know-nothing troothers and conspiracy nutjobs(and the snakeoil salesmen who prey on them).
So, stupid applies to the troothers, not to the scientists.

Even more think it is right. So you really think even more than 700 are wrong about the report?
And I would be very suprised if 700 didn't simply say there was some facet or other of the report they didn't agree with. And it would be suprising if everyone in a field agreed with everything a report that big says.

If I could comment on some of the stuff in the front part of this particular thread, about true Christians and what they do ...
A true christian would seek that answer from the example of Christ, and anyone truly interested would look to the example for their answer. Just because you can read a book, doesn't mean you understand what is in it. Just like life, there is more to it than what is in the book. People who solely look to other people, or a book for answers will never find too many of them, if any. It's something one does, not what they think they do.
A true scientist tries to observe the truth in its natural conditions, not make it happen in a controlled environment. Experimental understanding is greater than perceived knowledge. Would one rather have a surgeon that just became one and might say, "I know everything there is to know" operate on them, or one that had been a surgeon for 10 years, and admitted I don't know everything, but might say, "I am a damn good surgeon?"
Get your advice from the know it all and see if they are right with multiple opinions, then take that final opinion to the guy that has experience in doing it.
Other than that,
Thanks for the cyst removal

I disagree. I believe that you have not thought out the actual way science benefits humanity.
Science is more than a cataloguing of what happens in the untouched wilderness. When science talks about the natural world, it also includes the laboratory since it too is part of the same universe. But the goal is not a catalogue, but understanding. And from understanding comes control. From physics comes electronics engineering, from chemistry comes increased crop yields, from biology comes medicine, etc. As Francis Bacon wrote about science in the seventeenth century:
"Knowledge is power; Nature, in order to be ordered must first be obeyed."

I'm not so certain. That falls into the hands of human nature, pure benefit not always. Not that I meant to discredit laboratory science, but in either case with experiments, one group is left natural.
And if this is what you believe, not to get too touchy, but to see if you're on mark, not saying that I am able to test you, but where is the "lab-work" being done on this site for the benefit? I do intend to poke, and prod. I am doing my lab work.
