> [@scabpicker](#): > > I fear we’d have to start our own paper. Funny you say that… I’ve long toyed with the idea of starting some sort of publication with the credo “the most useless news that should be of no interest to anybody”. Depending on one’s point of view, plenty of those may exist already, but I’d like to beat them all by reporting events of the least possible significance. Maximum mundaneity? I’ll stop this stupid derailment now. Sorry guys & others. ---

That isn’t just a joke, it is a fact that needs to be considered.

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > We weren’t cool enough to hang onto **The\_Bad\_Astronomer** … Not really. The SDMB doesn’t allow content providers to own or be paid for their work, and for a person building his online brand writing a 500-word post for the SDMB quickly becomes a financial decision: why not post this on _my_ site? ---

Ah, at first I thought that was our famous @tomh4040, but it’s a different Tom. We’ve had a number of distinguished posters on this board who have discovered fundamental flaws in our theories of physics and have not been shy about exposing them. I think **tomh4040** is probably the only one I’ve really engaged with. He has a starring role **[in this thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/can-one-theoretically-travel-faster-than-light-relativistically/950057)**, where he proves – in Factual Questions, no less – that you absolutely can travel faster than light, no problem. Einstein was just confused and relied too much on math instead of the kind of astute logic that **Tom** was capable of. The reason I bring this up is that this particular **Tom** earned a unique distinction: probably the only poster who has actually drawn a _ **topic ban** _ against ever discussing the speed of light or relativity on this board again! ---

> [@BigT](#): > > I also wouldn’t jump to the conclusion that NDT was thinking about becoming a regular here, let alone that anything in particular pushed him away. Not posting for two days does not mean someone has left the forum permanently. Especially if they presumably have more important things to do than spend significant time on a messaging board. Not saying he’ll be back, just that’s it a bit too soon to mourn the loss. ---

Especially if they presumably have more important things to do than spend significant time on a messaging board. Not saying he’ll be back, just that’s it a bit too soon to mourn the loss. I agree that this is not a valid assumption to make, either. I just wanted to forestall any additional blame if he didn’t come back. Or if he just becomes a sporadic poster. ---

There’s nothing wrong with asking a public figure to authenticate their ID when posting publicly as themselves. It’s expected. Every celeb doing an AMA on Reddit provides their bona fides first (an AMA-type thread here with NDT would be pretty cool, come to think it. Set it up, mods.) If NDT was interested in posting here regularly, I’m sure he wouldn’t mind. He probably took a good look around and ran for the hills, though. I think _anyone_ using a proper name here should have to verify their ID. Using handles like ‘Barack Obama’ shouldn’t be allowed. Character names like ‘Omar Little’ or ‘Princess Leia’ are harmless, but whenever your using the name of an actual person, there’s the potential for fuckery. ---

Yep. And it was a bit amusing watching the little “replying” indicator with his avatar next to it. Took a full two minutes for him to figure out that one cannot reply to a moderator’s post that one’s account has been locked. ---

Is there any point to keeping HF around? When they aren’t trolling, they are sea lioning.
