The only reason to BAN anybody from a newsgroup where anybody can choose if they wish to simply ignore a post is because the moderators don't want that person to unduly influence someone else with ideas THEY consider to be "rubbish". I'm no different than many groups who ban Biblical talk and insist upon only "academic" and "scientific", "peer reviewed" research, since they can't stand it any other way. It's an issue of small minds not being able to deal with issues they can't handle.
Please! Maybe you're delusional, but I don't think all of the trash talk in the world will make you capable of persuading people out here to believe the way you want them to. I'm not familiar with your views, but from this comment, it looks to me like you are actually angry that we have learned how to think for ourselves, and we have learned how to identify BS when we see it.
Small minds? I don't think so. Considering the vast amounts of time many posters have invested into this and other discussion boards, it's understandable when they don't want a discussion board to change directions on them. That's how these things work. Eventually, many discussion boards completely change, and people who have invested much time must look elsewhere and start all over again.
Your reply seemed very defensive and I must say you have your work cut out for you if you think you can sway even one person's thinking out here.
