He hasn't done that here and, to the best of my knowledge, he hasn't done that at RS. All he has done is post a single link to his blog and fuck off again - well whoopdy-doo!

I am not saying that he should be fair game for any and all insults. But that hasn't really happened, has it? All that has occured has been a very understandable outpouring of schadenfreude and speculation with the occasional insult in the mix. No case to answer on the personal attack front as I see it.

Other forums may vary. :roll:
it's just a little honest gaming of the system*

what's the problem?

Banned from Ratskep for a cool off period. Think I'll respect that seeing as I'm actually quite calm. Very clever actually, seeing as it allows others to cool off and not be incited by actions such as mine.

Rational Skepticism requires selectively picking and choosing which views are allowed and which aren't.
"The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don't like that statement but few can argue with it."

Probably was more to do with calling Timonen a lying cunt and adding that the best part of him trickled down his mother's leg.

He posted seven times over a two hour period and he gets the full protection of the FUA after all his despicable crap.

Pathetic.

Yep. When the method and argument is already well stacked in the other parties favour, the whole debate is framed in a way that you won't be heard by the majority. The only way to have your point heard is to make some noise and not go out quietly. Anyway, to carry on with the film references, it's all very calm again. Medication time...
