Yeh Tom! This is everything I’ve wanted to say to this idiot for a long time now (and haven’t said since the Arrggghh! thread)!
You are correct. I posted that as a poster, not a Moderator.
I am rescinding that Warning.
However, I am replacing it with a Warning for trolling.
You first claimed that “not even” I could produce evidence that Raimondo claimed that anyone other than the 19 men on the planes brought down the towers. That is a straw man argument and not offered in good faith, particularly since I had made no similar claim.
I pointed out, with four separate definitions of Truther, that your claim that Truthers had to believe in a different set of conspirators was false.
You ignored three of the definitions to pretend that a Truther had to believe that the U.S. government was involved. That is debating in bad faith.
You tried to play games regarding the dates that Raimondo posted various opinions as if other statements to the same effect, posted on different dates, were irrelevant to his general outlook. That is arguing in bad faith.
You have tried to weasel out of the evidence that Raimondo is a Truther by citing him JAQing off , despite the fact that I had already quoted him in post 2812 with a specific statement that he did not believe the “official” story. Your “JAQing off” defense might work on a show moderated by Glenn Beck, but it is an example of arguing in bad faith.
I have long held that there is a level of stupidity that closely mimics trolling and that I am reluctant to Warn or ban posters for trolling when they might simply be incapable of arguing effectively. Your odd style of posting, with its dancing and weaving and changing definitions and “misunderstanding” the statements of other posters or other authorities makes it difficult to determine whether you are deliberately baiting other posters or are simply incapable of serious debate. At some point, however, the effects of stupidity and trolling are indistinguishable. You have hammered that point home in the exchange between posts 2779 and 2816. If you are not trolling, you clearly are not competent to post, here.

I think our buddy NFBW is walking out on the thin ice at this point, and I think he’s too stupid to do anything about it. I have to say that since Gonzomax, he’s the number one person on this board who I’ll cheer to see BANNED under his name from here on out (next up…FXMastermind. Hopefully)
