I always understood that thread to be for substantive discussions of the merits and demerits of various PNTs. This thread seems instead more geared to the lighter side of PNTs.

Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. -- Thomas Jefferson
We see monsters where science shows us windmills. -- Phat
It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate
Howling about evidence is a conversation stopper, and it never stops to think if the claim could possibly be true -- foreveryoung

A retraction
In the general PNT discussion thread, I said something that might be construed as support for the intelligence level of new poster IQ165+. I wish to formally retract anything I might have said there or anywhere else in a similar vein.
I now see, following his incomprehensible amendment to his topic, that the unique structure of his initial statement was not due to any creative impulse, but a complete lack of understanding of the simplest rules of grammar and syntax. If he is not currently institutionalized, that can only be due to unawareness of his level of functioning among the proper people. If he is currently institutionalized, he needs his meds adjusted and a good attorney for a malpractice claim against wherever he is being held. And he needs his computer access revoked.
I offer no explanation for my earlier inability to see that he has nothing to offer in any intelligent conversation and throw myself on the mercy of the general populace here. Please don't be too hard on me. I can't for the life of me imagine what I was thinking.

Has somebody been scrawling the URL to EvC in bathroom stalls in psychiatric treatment centers again?

Re: Technical User
Well, he is out again. And if he's on meds, that might explain why things are toned down. Although TU seems to be a bit of a Chatty Cathy, posting multiple times in his thread without any intervening input. I don't recall Dennis doing that.
