In Reply to: Proposal to the Bored: Ban Posy Rorer posted by Jim Austin on April 11, 2007 at 14:28:51:
Regardless of how much of a troll is might seem to be...."The Bored has repeatedly said over the years that it can do whatever it wants, so I urge it to act now. I could cite rules PR has broken, but that's not really the point. This forum is dedicated to technical and scientific discussion, and PR systematically and intentionally undermines any attempts at scientific and technical discussion."
That's not grounds for banishment. It's apparent disagreement over the opinion or the tactics of discussion, but if I could not stand such action, I'd confront it, not request the moderators ban the poster.
"I could cite rules PR has broken, but that's not really the point."
What rules were broken? I claim ignorance. I think no rules were broken. Being annoying in itself does not violate anything.
The only think that warrants banishment is either a direct violation of an established rule or a threat of harm. I don't think this has occurred.
And finally, if someone's request to ban a poster is ever granted, it will only exacerbate the warfare. For everybody would then scream to ban each other.
Follow Ups:
As the Bored can attest to. I received a threat of violence in my personal e-mail from an unstable member here which the Bored has seen and chosen to ignore.
I am actually against anyone being banished, including this Posy troll and even the lunatic that threatened me, since it would lessen the entertainment value of this site.cheers,

The threshold for disproving something is higher than the threshold for saying it, which is a recipe for the accumulation of bullshit - Softky

Since you can't seem to let this go, or communicate with us via Email, we will say publicly that we reviewed the contents of the alleged Email; given the words and tone, and considering the history of the sender and receiver, we found no real threat. Had we thought otherwise, we would have banned the author, as we have others in the past.

Fine. Then let your fixation with this other person go. Drop it, or go away. It's over.
