Smith66 should be banned.

If a tree falls in the woods, and no-one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Similarly: If you speak sense to an idiot, is it really sense?

Lol!

[jim_mich]

Banned!

[justsomeone]

Thank you Scott.

[Fletcher]

Thank you Scott.

IMO - the 6 votes to keep the troll were all from himself logging in under his different names.

When I saw Bill's quote of the abuse this morning I took him off ignore & skimmed his last posts today - then I used the 'report abuse' icon on every post to notify Scott - I would have done it sooner, when jim_mich mentioned it a couple of days ago, but he & a few others are on my "ignore" list & I couldn't be bothered reading his crap yet again as another sock puppet - the 'ignore' might have been self defeating in this instance.

Watch for new members, the latest is "mgelinas" by signature I would say it is a spammer.

The photo of me is a little over a year old. My brother took it on Alcatraz. I am 67. I have a real life. I was not attempting to steal the bellows thread. I was attempting to divert the attention away from the fight. Instead I found myself in it.

Misery loves company. I am not miserable.

Building desktop plastic models, before capturing the public with an exhibition of a physical build, to my thinking is a dumb ass move. Excuse my language!

Ralph,

A much better way of convincing skeptics would be a very big exhibition of many working desktop sized wheels shipped in one day to universities, skeptics, etc. all over the globe.

A working running model needs to be placed right on the bench in front of many people, with everything right out in the open. Thus they can't claim it doesn't work.

This needs to be done just after filing for a patent and quickly before a secrecy gag order can be issued.

If you publicly exhibit a model, then you cannot patent in most countries. The USA allows you to patent up to one year after public diclosure, but you loose patent rights on many other countries. So one must first file a patent application. Then publicly display the working models before you get gagged.

You can be sure at least about one stuff: everything that happen to you will be exactly as you deserve.
No scape!

My thanks to (as they appeared):

jim_mich; smith66; AB Hammer; Trevor Lyn Whatford; Axelf; justsomeone; bluesgtr44; Tarsier79; Mark; oldNick; rasselasss; murilo; Jim Williams; daanopperman; getterdone; Scott.

And, for their particular trademark insight and acumen in the argumentation, a special tip of me rascally hat to (in their appearance order): cloud camper, Fletcher and Ovyyus.

Why?

For now seven pages of unalloyed, indulged madness.

Out of it all, what was to be the final accomplishment?

The slicing, dicing and banning of a pathetic and ill person who might have better benefited by some kind words, than otherwise got heaped upon him.

A near-uniform spirit of viciousness and tearing seemed the order-of-the-day, here on this thread.

Just as the potential for shame was long, long ago, so civility as well was killed dead.

I just now voted to not ban smith66 after the fact of it, and so, ' will add 'iconoclast' to my list of self-distinctions below.

Now, back to attending to my defective "demeanor."

Prim.....if you read the blogs,i did not say anything derogatry to/or about Smith 66 and i did not vote to ban him.....so delete me from the list please.....i realise he's in a "bad" place and has real problems....Why did you not speak before to support or advise him on this thread or is it a case of "too late the hero"?

[cloud camper]

Thanks James - I just tried to give due credit for strokes of brilliance.

The idea was just to encourage the good and discourage the bad.

If a few others would have done this it might have helped raise his self esteem but it looks like his drinking causes a complete loss of composure.

Obviously making physical threats is over the line of acceptability.

[daanopperman]

prim.. ,

I also want to ask , where , I have not given one bad word to inflick any bad vibes to smith66 , I have never red dotted anyone nor do I wish to do so , I merely tried to calm J.M. As a matter of interest , jim_mich has given me more flack , but to hitch someone else over your shoulder is not my idea of fun . There are some here that I do not read post from , whether it is crappy or useless , I do not read their post , simple as that , and they have made more kak post's than smith66 . The only remarks I made was made in good faith , I simply said I hope it is not what I think it is , ( the photo of the nanny crack ) .

I didn't see you trying to peacefully resolve the situation. Your observation here is bluntly naive.

I (and I imagine others) have attempted in the past to help Jim L. He cannot be helped, just as you cannot tell a brick wall to move. This is especially the case when he goes off his meds and starts attacking people for no reason. It is a pity his delusion was not confined to his understanding of Bessler, but also encompassed a massive conspiracy theory of his entire life, the participants of which all seem to be high ranked members of this forum. Some people are their own worst enemy. His presence here was and will be a cancer.

Next time he reincarnates, I look forward to seeing your "kind words" and their effect.



It is unfortunate ignored posts are not invisible when you reply: I wouldn't be surprised Cloud wasnt just another 'J.L. sock puppet, only evidence suggests otherwise.

[cloud camper]

Really sorry to disappoint you Tars.

But I'm not JL, 007 or Techstuff.

I'm actually more dangerous than all three of these guys because I know
Physics and can use it as a weapon!

Prime,
I was going to quote you, but then I saw your signature:

I guess now it's OK! Nothing to say... I'm a little cynic too... 8]
