Have you seen his first few threads? One about [evolution being bunk](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=84636) in GD, one about [traveling faster the c](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=85234) in MPSIMS and a 3rd about [economics of orgasm](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=85812) in GQ which was about how people didn’t have to eat and drink at all. The latter is certainly a sensationalistic title meant to lure unsuspecting dopers into a cooky thread. On a side note I never got to ask him if he actually practices this. I was actually wondering when he would get his own special pit thread. I’m not so sure he really needs to be banned as feel that sooner or later he’ll get bored (or be the recipient or a major cold shoulder) and leave as he has made no progress on any of his pet “”“theories”"" other then being laughed at or bitched at. ---

Look at your post count, and then tell me again how you have a RL. Look at the word under **Alphagene’s** name. See it? It says “Moderator”. What could that mean do you think? Do you think it possibly means that he posts a lot becauce he has to deal with fucknuts like you? And the “I have more of a life than you do” stance? You’ve clearly been reading the [handbook](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=87747). > [@](#): > > B) I guess pathos is where you find it. Mom gets hers on TV soaps, which some people call pathetic. You get yours here, and it’s the same thing. Pathetic. What the fuck are you talking about now? I know what pathos is and I know what pathetic means and your lame attempt at clever-cleverness with semantics makes no sense. Are you saying that **Alphagene** is pathetic (and don’t even _try_ to pretend you don’t mean that perjoritively) because he spends time on these boards? Well I guess you’d better toddle off then - wouldn’t want you in the same boat would we? > [@](#): > > C) I don’t feel a need to post under a different name. I just think it’s stupid to pretend about what banning means to the bannee. \*\* Who cares what the bannee thinks? We don’t have magical powers and we can’t take away peoples keyboards, but once someone is banned they are persona non grata and remain persona non grata regardless of whether they think they are or not. ISPs are traceable, people are not stupid and socks are easily exposed. The banned stay banned. Fran ---

Did I say at any point he has more of a real life than you? And how is that relevant? So much for arguing arguing point-by-point. I’ve seen you post your “banning means nothing” statement in at least three threads now and you’re getting a little repetitive. Enjoying your rebel/matyr status are you? ---

Well yer a real bright one, ain’tcha? First, a moderator (read that again: _moderator_) hints at the fact that you have or are a sock puppet(s). Instead of quietly slinking away before you got banned, or, at worst, defended yourself, what do you do? You lay barbs to said moderator. Hoo, yeah, you’re a fuckin’ Einstein. Can I have your autograph? Esprix ---

Alright, I’m gonna have the shit flamed out of me for this, but… I love **Hiruu** ’s posts. I don’t take them seriously, mind you, but I absolutely adore the entire tin-foil hat culture. I don’t buy in to any of it, you understand, it’s just so much fun! I am an avid listener to Art Bell, and I can’t get enough of listening to Richard Hoagland. I’ve never believed one theory from either of them, but dammit, they’re cool. I say that the big H is not trolling, and while he may be in contrast to the attitudes of most people here, he’s not hurting anything. LC ---

I like reading about wacky conspiracy theories, idiotic pseudo-science and belong to a e-group where this sort of book is discussed. I used to occasionally listen to Art Bell (but since he’s discovered those idiot “remote viewers” he’s just dull). Donna Kossy wrote a book called [“Kooks”](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0922915679/qid=1000823781/sr=2-3/ref=sr_8_3_3/103-0908463-8402254) dealing with these sorts of people that you might enjoy (she’s got a new one called something like “Strange Origins” about wacky anti-Darwinian theories that I’ve just started). So no. You aren’t alone.
