Multiplicity ... is that one of those new-fangled games? ... whatever happened to Pac-Man? ...

Is it his methods or his content that you disapprove of? I know that the religous right likes to silence anyone with a contrary message. Was it his God kills posts or was it his anti-Bush sentiments?

I am not offended by any of STANG's views, and I agree with most of them to some degree, although I am in favor of invading Iraq, just anti-Bush on most other issues.

Despite this, I think STANG should be banned when he spams the forums. He should change his tactics and actually stick around to defend his views and debate in his posts after the opening statistical nonsense. He should NOT post the same thing over and over and just spew out meaningless phrases and lists as he is prone to do in response to any criticizim. I think STANG should just change his tactics and try to be a valuable member of the community. His views might be respected if he could behave respectably and he would stop being banned, regardless of his opinions. I say we let STANG come back when his extended ban time is up and then he should try to reform himself, not his opinions, but his methods of presenting them.

STANGS methods are no different then street preachers standing on a box yelling about fire and brimstone.

I received a message from him, and while I did not agree with his position, I began a brief conversation with him, in attempt to determine who may have been the driving force behind the ban.
I assumed he contacted me out of a hope for fair play from someone who posted on the forums, but I was wrong.
He had spammed (apparently) quite a number of people, including those who had never posted on the forums. This convinced me his intentions may have been less than revealed.
I researched enough of his posts to determine he was, in general, just another much-heat/no-light spewaholic, with very little to say which might add to the conversation. As we clearly have many posting unsupported drivel, and/or many who resort to diversionary tactics, why add another?
Being neither religious, nor one who would ever deprive another of their right to say whatever is on their mind, the ban came from somewhere other than my two cents. Nonetheless, this is not a person who adds to the conversation, as displayed in his campaign, which mirrors his many spam-like posts prior to the ban.
Short answer: methods.

BS. I don't think STANG has even posted since you supposedly joined and I seriously doubt you "researched" his posts. You're a second account, pal and not a particulary smart one, either (but we could tell that from your posts anyway).

EDIT: STANG hasn't posted since November 16.

As per your usual leap-before-I-look mentality, you overlooked the headings at the top of the page. If you had looked, you would have observed a heading entitiled, "Search Forums." This heading allows one to search anyone's name, within a speficied time parameter, to view their posts on any forum.

I seriously doubt you "researched" his posts.
Stang has something like 150+ PAGES of posts, so I obviously did not research all of the posts. What I did research, plus the questionable tactics he used by spamming people who don't even waste their time visting these forums, I came to the conclusion he doesn't add anything to the discussion, and takes up space with 'fart in the microphone' antics.

You're a second account, pal and not a particulary smart one, either (but we could tell that from your posts anyway).
I know, I know: you could easily blow my 170+ IQ away; you're better looking than me; you could kick my ass in any martial art known to man; and you can run like the wind. It's all so easy on the computer, ain't it?
BTW, by your use of the pronoun "we," are you admitting to the thing of which you accuse me? Or, are you simply referring to your split personality? Just for future reference, the star by a person's name means they have paid a subscription fee of $35 US. Reading your prating ain't worth the price of one account, let alone two.

Hmm. You joined on 4 Dec '05, and a certain HayVeeGee made his last post on....4 Dec '05. Wow. What a coincidence.

Incidentally, HayVeeGee got banned for multiple account abuse on 5 Dec '05. I wonder if he thinks he can just keep making new accounts to get around it...

Not one to correct a stranger, but I joined on 5 Dec '05. Kind of creepy, huh? 05.12.05. I wonder if it means anything.

Your friend sounds interesting, however. Please, tell me more.

I'm sorry, are you saying that you are not religious? Because one that states "I'm a firm believer in the Bible's rendition of creation" is usually considered to be very religious.

Oh, by the way, most people that post their IQs usually add to them to make themselves look smarter. It is better to let people discover that you are intelligent rather than to tell them. But what would I know, my IQ is only...

Religion is something one does to earn God's approbation. I do not worship any god that would be satisfied with anything man could muster up.
