I get the impression he doesn't ogle men's asses quite so much. He is very keen to put his sexual preferences on the public record, for some reason.Insufficient information. Do you do the same with men?
I doubt he will come back as a regular. Interestingly, in the form of his alter ego beecee, he also stopped posting on the .net site a while ago. He may have worked out it isn’t doing him any good. Or he may have just been ill or is getting too old. Several of our contributors seem to be pretty ancient and some show possible signs of dementia. I’ll be 69 myself, next month.I'd just as soon have Paddoboy disappear for another year or two, especially after that unpleasant rant of a post.
Well ,beecee did come back to the .net site last month for a bit .His posts are better liked over there it seems to me.I doubt he will come back as a regular.

OMG you're ancient! I'm only going to turn 68 in July...I’ll be 69 myself, next month.
That’s because he dare not start any vendettas there. The moderation is too strict. Also, he’s aware that most people there know a lot more science than he does. So he’s a lot more civil there.Well ,beecee did come back to the .net site last month for a bit .His posts are better liked over there it seems to me.
Well there you are. I suspect forums are a bit fuddy-duddy for social media savvy youngsters.OMG you're ancient! I'm only going to turn 68 in July...![]()

Normally, as moderators age-out for whatever reason, the reigns tend to get passed down to fresher hands who might be more motivated to patch holes and apply a new coat of paint. Even if the existing mods don't leave, some new blood can often breather new life into a forum.... if things have only gotten worse at Sciforums,
Thanks Davey baby! (hope that wasn't being sexist of me!Pad was all right. He fought the good fight for a long time, pushing back against irrationality and magical thinking. And I was right there with him.

I have had some experience with bullies in my time, and I find on most occasions, they should be bullied back as hard as possible. I have done that and on a couple of occasions have had very positive, rewarding results, with said bullies and reformation of their conduct. And really Dave, I'm not interested in saving face...I do what I believe to be right and to achieve best results. So far in my 78.9 years on this fart arse little blue orb, I am doing OK. And with my health still being pretty good, that will continue for the next couple of decades.But at some point, he stepped it up to actively bullying the irrationals into leaving the site. I couldn't follow him down that road, so I stepped back.
He attempted to enlist the mods in his purge, first begging them and then bullying them too. They were unmoved by his pleas or his insults, but presumably by then he had made too many threats of leaving to save face

Yes, there were a couple of ratbags I got stuck into. Thank Christ logic and sensibilty has finally prevailed and they are banned. On the sexism debates, you missed nothing important and normality still proceeds unhindered as usual, in this great big wide wonderful world we live in. (normality meaning normal common everyday banter and such) Take it easy!I remember way more about the science versus non-science discussions than anything about sexism. I can't really speak to that aspect.
