Hi, I have apologized for my unprofessional behavior and would greatly appreciate it if my “Transtopia” thread can be re-opened. I am very much into that philosophy and would like to carry on a debate. I will not create any new threads though and will stick to the 4 I started. Thank you, Science Girl ---

My feeling is that Science Girl would have a pit thread opened on her behalf sometime this evening anyway. ---

I would urge the OP to add “Pseudo” to her user name because so far she has shown herself to be an unskeptical swallower of nonsense. ---

You know what I do when I go to a new message board? I read the FAQ and then read a little of the board to get a sense of the culture. What I don’t do is crap all over the place and behave like an ass on my first day. Haj ---

This is by far the most attention I’ve ever got in my 3 years here. I was a little annoyed. I took a break. I’m back. Lynn has been too busy with other board stuff to list me as a charter member. You may now return to your regularly scheduled thread. 😃 ---

Holy Hitler on a sidecar. I can’t believe any human believes in Eugenics anymore. Heh the weirdest thing is how she thinks she’s winning these discussions by merely posting links to crank websites like they are peer reviewed science journals. ---
