Of course I’m not suggesting that anyone else is topic banned on the substantive issues of climate change. I’m just suggesting that we should not continue to specifically discuss HBDC’s ignorance about climate change in his Pit thread after he has been topic banned and cannot respond. Unless you feel that there is anything that he has said in the past that has not been adequately debunked already, I guess.
We’ve always refrained from continuing to comment on banned posters, shouldn’t the same etiquette apply to a topic ban?
I guess I do feel there’s an ethical problem with a Pit thread where we can continue to lay into someone for past stupidity on a topic when they are not allowed to respond. But that’s just my opinion, I’m pretty sure there’s no explicit rule about this.
But probably it’s not worth worrying about, I guess it will naturally tail off.
There’s a third alternative: they can concede they were being a dumbshit and stop defending nonsense and accept reality, and thereby discuss the topic freely.
I knew without looking that the link went to Georg Kreisler. I heard about his plagiarism in an episode of “Ich trage einen großen Namen” some time ago, of all shows.
[Moderating] What Exit already pointed this out, but your topic ban on global warming denialism includes the Pit. I’ll give you one pass on this, because it might not have been clear if the loosened rules for the Pit included topic bans. It does. Do not post on this subject again.
I’m frequently on denialist forums, trying to fight disinformation. And those forums often give the OP the power to ban any person from posting in a thread, at any time, no justification required.
In such forums, usually when I see a post addressed to me, asking for evidence, it’s a good clue that I’ve been blocked from responding. (The “ask” was rhetorical, purely to show I supposedly “couldn’t” respond).
I know this isn’t the same, but it’s a step in the wrong direction IMO.
It looks like he’s now going on a fishing expedition in IMHO, regarding Hunter Biden’s art. I assume that the punch line is that Joe Biden is doing favors for people so they put his son’s art in their collection and drum up the prices.
I realize that I could link, but I just didn’t want to. On the off chance that it was a legitimate query, I didn’t want this pit thread following Honeybadger around like a mark of Caine.
Well it’s fake news that Venus is a roasting hot pressure cooker.
The wise science-fiction writers of the early 20th century knew that all that CO2 would result in a lush, green planet; only slightly warmer than Earth, such that the women there need to be scantily-clad.
But big solar and whale-killing wind want to pretend CO2 is bad, and NASA is in on it!!!
