keeping my word for Salty

Hi AdminTCOk, this post was fairly convincing that things have gone to far..and I am one of the key perpetrators....I will desist from posting to or about salty. Actually I will qualify that. If there is a scientific reason to talk about something salty says, has said, or has written I will bring it up but will refrain from antagonizing the man...As Percipient points out...it is becoming a bit like beating up someones senile grandfather for kicks ...Though I ask the Admin's to please help insure that he does not derail threads in the other forums as my attempt to get him to stay in the Free for All did not work for long.cheers,

To SLPx and wj,First let me clarify that I do not think that SLPx went too far. I also think that Scott's post regarding Crow is not bashing but is an excellent post.By going to far I am referring to the Free for All atmosphere that is occurring in the Evolution forum. I specifically made a link in the Free for All called for Salty so that he could post his nonsense and we could with little inhibition either address any serious debate if it came up (it never materialized) or let the thread become a joke..which it did. That was fine. salty seemed content that anyone was interacting with him at all, we had some fun and more importantly, the Evolution forums did not get sidetracked with crap.I find it incredibly annoying that we get a new member in Phospholipid who starts a very active thread getting multiple members to write substantive and interesting posts only to have it completely derailed by salty with his "Grasse would share a sandwich with me because I don't believe in sex or evolution" bull that he has been spouting since he got here.I am trying to find a way of bypassing this junk in the serious forums by bumping or asking Admin's to keep salty from dragging good threads into the toilet.I personally was jumping down salty's throat after every post he made and basically trying to point out to him that I think he is a fool....that is what I mean by going to far..and that is what I indicated to TC that I will refrain from.Hope this makes my point a bit more clear.cheers,

Hi Scott,
I think salty will go to other boards regardless and declare that nobody has addressed his points. For example nosivads posts at ARN are cut-n-pastes of what he has posted here as are his responses to the likes of the Pixie who did not just fall down in awe.Another distinction is that salty does not ask questions. He mostly posts 2 sentence assertions that are identical except for word order. Or claims he is leaving forever only to post about 5 minutes later. thus he cannot go to other boards and claim nobody answered the question...what is the question in "Grasse would agree with me?"I don't care if he is here and I also don't mind if people answer him..I have been doing so for over a month now. But it is really annoying when an interesting thread gets derailed with his contentless drivel.mods re-directing the posts would be useful.cheers,

Hi wj,
I think salty will cry about Darwin for the rest of his life
The deleting has been even handed, SLPx had a post deleted, Taz as well, one of mine was...and it was made clear that the posts were deleted for being off topic and not having substance. salty is still free to post.Anyway, my guess is he will continue to cut and paste the same posts for the forseeable future but with varying intensity and frequency...I noticed that since I was offline the last few days, he seems to have piped down a bit cheers,
