11. Feel free to use those
Edited on Sun Jan-27-08 10:50 PM by cosmik debris
even over-use them. It's OK with me.

I think that just saying "I'm sure glad I didn't step in it" or "you just had to light that fuse" might be enough to get the point across. Or maybe just post another picture of Mr. Coyote.

Well, I have to admit I will never look at assorted fruits and vegetables and holy pickles! Quite the same way again....

22. Thank you

I figure it is only a matter of time before someone cleans up selling a "cure" for Morgellon's.

4. I think we need to organize and start to alert all those stupid posts
so the mods will move them to the Sept 11 conspiracy nut dungeon.

I'm sure my post to him will be deleted since I told him posting that kind of disinformation was shameful.

5. I've tried
I've also asked other skeptics privately to do so. They tell me they alert on them regularly.
You can PM me about this if you wish.

14. I wouldn't have known about the latest round of horseshit
if I hadn't read about it here, first.

I'd much prefer the health forum devoted to health policy and health breakthroughs.

The woo woo jerks belong in the woo woo forums.

And damn RFK Jr. for buying into their horseshit and Rolling Stone for publishing it.

7. You would think
we could get them moved to the alternative medicine group.

The health forum is starting to become a proxy war for philb's battle against vaccines.

17. Oh please....

Hey... find your own sewer.

The last thing the DUngeon needs is general medical lunacy.

Chemtrails... they're fine. As SidDithers once posted, "Chemtrail threads are teh shit"

We may yet find that the planes used on 9/11 were spare chemtrail tankers, so at least there is a connection.

26. You're right, I was corrected, the sewer already exists
and is the Alternative Medicine group.

Unfortunately, this garbage gets posted in Health because some people are still too cheap to fork out ten bucks for a star so they can get to the group. Add to that the messianic zeal of the two worst offenders, and the Health forum is being destroyed.

6. I've gotten snarky today
And, I even got a post removed!! The words ignorant ass come to mind (I don't understand how my stating fact gets removed but the lies get to stay).

I alert, but apparantly out and out lies are okay so long as they have the potential to only harm childrens health.

8. So that's the post that was removed
I couldn't remember which one.

It's like trying to argue with Forest Gump, just the same stuff over and over and over.....

15. I understand your frustration.
Edited on Mon Jan-28-08 01:28 AM by varkam
I see a lot of posts here that are venting a frustration that a certain poster gets to spam a certain forum with certain bullshit conspiracy theories. I'm just wanting to tell you that I share your frustration, but there is little that I can do.

16. HOLY FUCKING HELL.
Man, I don't post much in the health forum. And now I know why...the pure fucking idiocy there makes me feel like crying. I think I'm gonna stick to RT....seems almost sane by comparison.

23. The ONLY way to deal with that poster
Edited on Mon Jan-28-08 09:26 AM by cosmik debris
Is to REFUSE to take him seriously. As long as you try to reason with him, he wins. As long as you rebut his claims, he wins. As long as you try to make sense to him, he wins.

But, if you don't take him seriously.....



You can have fun, and he can't win!

27. I am the epitome of politeness
Edited on Mon Jan-28-08 12:40 PM by Warpy
as I eviscerate his claims by pointing out the obvious and calling him the most irresponsible fool on the face of the earth.

It only takes a couple of sentences. Really. Point by point destruction of any of his arguments is a waste of time and trouble and only encourages him to post enormous lists of absolutely unrelated web material.

I am a little surprised my last post is still there.

28. But look at his responses.
No matter how insulting you are or how throughly you devastate his bullshit, it just gives him an excuse to cut & paste another pile of BS. That is all he wants--an excuse to keep posting his BS.

I contend that the only way to shut him up is to avoid giving him anything to respond to. Mock him without addressing any of his issues and he is speechless.

I just finally had a chance to really go through that thread. Seriously..BEST SMACKDOWN EVER!!
Phib=Wil E. Coyote... I love it!
You are right. Mocking him is the best defense. It was interesting to note that none of the other usual suspect woos came to defend him!:yourock:
