but the reluctance of FE believers to interact and collaborate with each other in the forum that exists specifically to enable exactly that kind of thing seems like an opportunity just waiting to be taken advantage of.
None of the other FE, believe it or not, has ever come to my aid, to fully profit from the unbeatable arguments and proofs I have always provided. Imagine this, to have now a single formula (global Sagnac) which proves directly that the Earth is stationary. Complete silence from the other FE. They have to gather the courage to admit that my model is superior to either the UA/infinite earth models, and it seems they will never acknowledge it. That is why we are a house divided.
Is this what you want, to have us debate each other here, while we let your proteges, rabinoz and jackblack to wreak havoc in the upper forums?
You have intervened on behalf of rabinoz several times, most notably you had the audacity to inform me how a rope should be stretched between two boats, and you caused humblescientist, a FE mind you, to give up and no longer post on this forum.
there are threads in Debate and General that are informative.
Not while you have been mod around here; we the FE are no longer allowed to make the debates fun and interesting and revealing, we are too busy to deal with jb and r's fisking and trolling.
Not anything resembling the magnificient threads of the past.
You no longer have anything here but a run-down forum, you are most obviously lacking our input, our expertise, our capacity to see solutions where most notice none, all of this the fault of the current team of admin/RE mods who have chosen to tacitly participate in the destruction.
But when it happens in a conversation that you are participating in, you are not automatically the arbiter of truth with regard to whose argument is better and/or correct, and someone spending time to point out where they differ with you is not grounds for a ban (nor should it be).
And when the RE use blatant contentless posting and trolling right under your nose, is that "spending time to point out something"? No, it is not.
Have you just revealed your true purpose here? To make sure that jb and r are allowed to destroy the fabric of this forum? If not, why are you constantly ignoring what we are debating here right now, the contentless posting of jb and r which should be moved to CN?
We, the FE, no longer doubt this.
The truth is reached by definite proofs and formulas: when your proteges respond with contentless posting (John's own formulation, not mine), what are we supposed to do, if you, the very mods, look the other way, and laugh in our faces?
