What happens is that he commits the inexcusable crime of starting threads in the 'UFOs, Ghosts and Monsters' forum about UFOs, ghosts and monsters. He's interested in those things. Then some of the dimmer people on the board seem to think that they can defeat the heresy by flaming it to oblivion. (Not unlike the inquisition except the flames here aren't literal.) So a torrent of insults are directed at MR, he fights back and everybody gets angry and extremely hostile. That's just stupid.

Flaming? You are saying that most of us flame MR to react? You are saying that most of us provoke MR to reply in kind?
Please tell me who started the thread primarily expounding the view that science has done nothing for mankind?
And what reasons do you believe that anyone could post such obvious nonsense on a science forum no less.
Would it be to provoke? or to flame? Or just to troll?
What do you think?

Calling somebody 'dishonest' is an insult. Many of your posts contain similar emotional provocations. That's bad rhetoric. You need to try to avoid doing that.

And that's just what MR has done particularly with regards to the example I gave. It's highly dishonest to post and promote such crap as per my example, particularly on what is primarily a science forum, despite the less then credible sub sections.
 
yazata, I'm sorry but I couldn't care less about your affiliation with MR or how he acts on other forums. His actions here have repeatedly been either intentionally dishonest, or been derived from a level of intellectual ineptitude that I really cannot fathom...

I was just explaining why I think that I understand MR better than you do and why I'm sympathetic to what I think his motives are. You can react any way you like.

Mod Hat ― Judgment call

I do not think it an unreasonable guess that this thread is, technically, irreparable.
