Re: Randman rises again!
I have to say that "completley logical" is a wierd description of Randman's behavior in that thread. Even at the start one of his pieces of evidence wasn't even referring to the t.o website, instead referrign to some postings on the t.o newsgroup - and even that did not support hte accusations that were supposedly based on it.
In the revival of the trhead Randman was arguign that an essay claimed that universal common descent wa sa fact despite contianing an explicit statement to the contrary, based on a quote from ANOTHER essay, without weven making any connection between the two and even even based on the grounds that he had introduced the quote earlier.
Does Christian think that "I introduced this quote from another essay earlier in the thread so it is in the essay we are discussing now, even if it isn't?" is a logical argument ?
Does Christian think Randman's inability to recognise that HE personally had restricted discussion to a single essay is logical - even when links and quotes are produced to prove it ?
Quite frankly I think that Christian needs to think very carefully about the decision and examine the evidence more carefully, because so far as I can tell her judgement is completely at odds with the reality of the situation.

Re: Randman rises again!
Personally I think that the ban was merited. I don't know if you've reviewed the relevant posts, but so far as I can tell he was reduced to abusive and irrational ranting.

Re: The boycott
Since the purpose of the boycott is to demand the right to falsely accuse others of being liars I can't see that it stands any chance of success.
Even if there was no blanket ban on accusations of lying what Ray wants would still be contrary to the rules. Accusing people of lying for no reason other than that they disagree with the beliefs of the accuser would still be contrary to the rules of the forum.
