I notice a trend here, any one who is anti Bush, Anti Israeli and Muslim or pro Muslim is under attack. calls for his ban are coming from certain neo cons or their supporters in this forum, Those Zionist neo cons are trying to hijack the forum and clear it from all voices that expose them.

I hope the owner of this forum will realize that.

What? heck, I may be the only one calling him "Baby Bush", I think that Israel is an occupier nation, oh, but I'm not muslim, do you think that's it? are you saying this is all an anti-muslim thing? Come on, speak up! Is it?

Listen man, I don't believe anyone should be banned, unless they stalk, troll or endanger other people. Plagiarizing is bad, but I don't think this is a scientific or academic journal, most people would like, I think, their ideas put out into the net, hopefully with attributes, but if you copy from like minded folks, what’s the prob? even if you do it bud. I don’t think they’ll sue you

oh & don't thank me, I’m not supporting you, just the idea of freedom of speech

:p :p :D
 
Maybe we should invade Syria, and occupy it until he and all his shabab learn some freaking respect for their goddam freedom.
 
Appears to me that Whirlwind is taking the suggestions of moderators, even though these have been leveled with a certain measure of both disdain and rudeness, to heart. I say, give him substantial room to clean up his act. Some of his subjects have opened up popular threads. Don't ban him on the basis of his prolificness. Help him to handle more information in courteous fashion and this forum will benefit.

I think this is the best thing I've read all week!
 
Thanks, goofyfish. I almost feel a kinship with Proud_Muslim now. Almost. ;)
 
Mr. Chips,

No. After his first thread I warned him. He did not listen. Then the second, third, and fourth, were all warnings to. His fifth thread was his last shot. And now his sixth thread? No, I don't give fifth, sixth, or God willing: seventh chances. I also don't like cross-posting. How many warnings should I allow? 15? 16? How about 30? I'll sit here and wait until he starts postings 1984 as his own work.

did you figure out this particular source of alleged plaigerism? if not, i hope you are aware that you are making unsubstantiated accusations of a rather serious nature.

Nope, I'm not. The last few plaigerized articles were hard to find (I had to have other users find them). But you can obviously tell that Whirlwind did not write that piece. If you read the post, you'll notice a huge change in writing style by the end of it.

From The Thread In Question:
I gave a talk to a group of Journalism majors at the UofA last week regarding "Honesty in reporting" in the US media.

Tell me, and I asked Whirlwind in a PM, what the heck he does? If he has a blog, or some website where he writes, then why not post it as the source? Wouldn't you want people to view it? Wouldn't you want to draw attention to it? He didn't answer that question, but went on a rant about how wrong I am. I know I'm right in this instance, as I was with the past few threads (You'll notice that he has a few threads that are open; because they follow the site rules).

When people view that thread, they'll send me the original article source. Until then it's a closed thread. If, and this is very unlikely, it turns out that I'm wrong; I'll re-open the thread.

i take it you are in the forensic sciences? the paragraph you refer to, sounds like a rant where the gentleman in question appears to be blowing off some steam. perhaps speaking "off the record"

Tell me, and I asked Whirlwind in a PM, what the heck he does?

do you intend to inquire into my personal affairs too?

If he has a blog, or some website where he writes, then why not post it as the source?

is this a requirement? what if the original is on paper? do you guys provide a land address

Wouldn't you want people to view it? Wouldn't you want to draw attention to it?

sorry but you appear to be getting very intrusive

I know I'm right in this instance, as I was with the past few threads

i am not familiar with the others but you have the benefit of the doubt

When people view that thread, they'll send me the original article source.

should i enlist?

Until then it's a closed thread. If, and this is very unlikely, it turns out that I'm wrong; I'll re-open the thread.

guilty until proven innocent? i must admit it is an easy way out

what is a grand dragon gizzard anyway?
 
Well, I for one would like to book Whirlwind for one of his public speeches. Only I don't have a corporation or class of journalism students to host him.

Nonetheless, if he's this incoherent and hyperactive here, those speeches must be insane!

Tiassa,
He's on the same level as Howard Dean.

Hey! I resent that, I voted for him, even if he couldn't win, He still represended my views on the war, Baby Bush & the economy,
& yes, I could scream, but ol' Dean did it for me!

:D
 
Really? On par with Dean? Hey, Dean can be a dynamic and convincing speaker.

Whirlwind - how do we go about booking you for a speaking appearance?
 
I hear his class has show and tell on Mondays. Maybe the teacher will let you visit.
 
I don't see how anyone could or would contest it at this point.

Whirlwind is a troll and spammer.

He is a particularly nauseating example of the need for more rigorous supervision and administration, as per more moderators.
