A thread starter, the author, MUST BE ABLE to EDIT THEIR THREAD...... to remove comments such as displayed above.
Ultimately a thread is a discussion, it should be on topic, it should flow like a river, wild and unpredictable, but with depth
but no reader wants to drown, or be caught by the slimy bottom dwelling creatures that lurk in the depths
All posts in the thread to be deleted should be marked for 24 hours then deleted
OR
have a special thread that only holds DELETIONS... with backward links... objections can then be made to the moderators
Otherwise, as it is if a thread was kept on topic, the moderators would be constantly tied down with numerous trivial objections
My threads attract about 50% slander
I don't care, but it must be really tedious for readers, and it certainly degrades the site in the public's eyes
BUT MORE IMPORTANT
prospective science students might start to think science is populated by vermin.
It is easy to criticise, very hard to put up ! vermin just mindlessly criticise

Maybe if you actually posted more than inane ramblings, your threads wouldn't attract so much ad hominem attacks. Yes, that's what they are, not slander.

Only pollies do that... scientists should rise above such childishness.

It can't be a good idea to allow thread starters to edit the thread as a whole. That is censorship and it is likely to badly endanger the flow of information.
I have never had any problems with people ruining threads. The occasional flamer strikes and people often make absurd arguments but isnt it better to denote those arguments as absurd rather than block them from view?
Everything else aside, I have found the majority of posters here to be pleasant and well informed.

The mistake in posting here, is assuming that people can be kind to one another, let down pretenses and be thankful when someone tries to help them.
This is the unity of forum, as the ancient Greeks knew it.
I fear that there has been a degretory effect taking place on society, in these past few years.
Colleges are now dangerous placed to go to. Even if you want to help someone now a days, you have to watch out, that the person that your trying to help, does not attempt to sue you, or to go after your money.
The web with all of the predatory tactics placed on it now a days as a communications device, is also not a proper place to be at times.
I had once helped someone and then had them shoot back at me, that I was stupid and did not know what I was doing.
Actually, what I wanted to illustrate, is that most students and professors, are similar to dumb or damaged chickens, that don’t even know how to make nest any more.
They hatch an egg, let it crack open in the sun, then blindly stomp off, as the measure of what they have crated, does not somehow seem to self tabulate to them at all.

Hey Zerkoff, Your sig sums you up very well. Because what you fit under "WILL NOT be shared" is any form of proof about your absurd claims.
If you aren't going to "share" the proof, all the reast is just empty arm waving. Don't bother. Noone is going to take any notice of your blather without proof. Noone believes your claims of such proof existing.
Your "proof" doesn't exist. You know that you are lying when you claim it does, we know that you are lying when you claim it does. Why do you bother humiliating yourself like this? Who do you hope to impress?

Exactly.
Which is why he won't publish his ESGT formulas since if they produce the numbers that he published for Mercury (which are not easily verified), then they are most likely going to also produce predicted changes in the force of Gravity on the earth that would be EASY to verify.
Notice in the Mercury thread.
He FIRST offered me the formulas and asked which ones I wanted.
When I said the ones for figuring out the gravity on Earth he went back and EDITED his previous post and REMOVED the offer for the formulas and changed it to this BS:
It was CLASSIC.
This EDITING of previous posts to change his position on a subject is what got him booted off a number of boards (that and being abrasive and condescending)

This is much better since as long as he's not banned he can't disown his own refusal to post the theoretical basis for his claims.
