Banned from Green Issues

zippy 99 · 2008-01-29 14:04:00

Indefinately, oscarbravo pm'd me with the news. When I asked oscar to provide evidence of the alleged breach of etiquette, I was promptly told to 'get lost'. Not the behaviour expected from regular posters, nevermind mods.

I think the issue here is that zippy doesn't believe that these are conspiracy theories for the simple reason that he appears to be convinced. You need a certain amount of scepticism to recognise a conspiracy theory as one. Hence the strong, strong attachment to the words "fact" and "proven".

However, that's irrelevant. The thread in question isn't a Green Issues thread either, it's just dressed up as one. The way the discussion went afterwards proved that. I don't necessarily agree with everything that gets said in GI, but I have to say that if you get an attitude back from posters there - as in every forum - it's cos you went in there with an attitude. Playing innocent after the fact is just disingenuous. If the ban is for off-topic posting, I'd strongly support it.

Show me the conspiracy in the thread I posted on GI. All fact.

If the things you post about are not conspiracy theories, why do you post about them in Conspiracy Theories?

The fact that you post these thread on conspiracy theories as well is evidence that you are posting conspiracy theories on green issues.

Now I'm strongly tempted to lift the ban. Green Issues really could do with some of this wonderful ad-hominem stuff.

Not.

You still havent shown me where I added conspiracy theory to green issues.

Hence, why have I been banned?

It seems we have a fundamental difference of opinion on what constitutes a fact.

Unfortunately, my definition includes the fact that you're banned from the forum, and that you're going to have to deal with it.

This conversation is over as far as I'm concerned.

That the Chinese are considering using weather modification to ensure good condition on the opening & closing of the Beijing Olympic games intrigued me.

Think of the possibilities of such technology.

Im still not happy with you behaviour/language.

Totally unappropriate for a mod. I think you owe me an apology.

Zippy, try to get one fundamental FACT into your head ... if you start a thread in Feedback, you automatically make it EVERY Boardsie's business who happens to pop their head round the door.

If you do not want the general populace of Boards telling you what they think, take it to the Helpdesk which has restrictions on who can reply to you ... in fairness, 6th has already tried to tell you that several times.

And excuse my nosiness, but a doctor of what?

My girlfriend once used the word "unappropriate" - I was quite perturbed I must say.

This guy is a re-reg by the way, right? I mean, talking about "old tricks etc." after only joining this month?

Gosh, we have a lot of Doctors on boards. Higher, perhaps than the general populace.

They must be giving out PhDs in lucky bags these days.

This guy has a PhD, too.

Unless, of course...
