What happened to Clocktower?

I haven't seen him in a long time. Did he finally get himself banned?

It's a shame, because he offered the most effective arguments against FE and no FE was ever able to challenge those arguments successfully.

No he didn't.  His arguements were borderline low-content posts.  He either said something like, "No evidence?  Noted and accepted" or "Thork is an admitted troll, you can't listen to anything he says."  I wouldn't be surprised if either of those catch phrases are still on his clipboard.

I think one day, we just convinced him. He had just asked enough questions, enough times and it finally sank in. He realised the earth was flat. There was nothing left for him to say. Maybe a little embarrassed at his own wilful ignorance he has chosen not to post any more.  But I'm chalking that one up as a successful conversion to FE.

Maybe he just doesn't know he's unbanned.

He logs in like every other day. He just lurks now. Bitter because Thork and I bested him.

Congratulations on being epic trolls.

I'd write more about how a proper, just, and effective mod team would have you banned you and Thork, along with Clocktower, but I won't.

I disagree.

Not to mention Clocktower was kind of (see: seriously) an arrogant douche.

Listen, I provided you with a link to a scientific paper published in a peer-reviewed journal with pages of data that concludes the spores are not terrestrial. You are free to not agree with the findings. I will not continue to spoon-feed you all day in your petty game of semantics or (willful?) lack of reading comprehension. Your deliberate antics to derail discussion with repetitive and low-content posts has been addressed multiple times.

I had diligently followed your claims. I have read pages on irrelevant topics. I find that like a typical FEer you're unable to back up your claim.

Now please point to a page in a published journal that backs your claim that the particles are not possibly of terrestrial origin?

So they banned him for a weekend.

He never returned!

What a baby lol!

That is what ended up getting him his ban. He was debating with a few mods and he was being a douche, insulting them, and low content posting.

Remember flat glass?

Clocktower was right - the report did not conclude the spore were terrestrial but "possible"

Which Ski agreed with. Clocktower was banned because he continued to waste Ski's time with low content posts and attempting to play semantic games with him, instead of actually discussing the issue with him. Then he insulted him and continued it after Ski, a mod, told him to stop.

It was both perfectly flat and flaw-free as I remember .

low content posts and attempting to play semantic games with him
