JM - The only posts I have deleted were ad hominems. They don't add anything to your argument. They just make you look stupid and reduce the signal to noise ratio of the board. When a thread degenerates into personal abuse, many thinking people switch off. If you just want to flame people, you can easily join unmoderated groups such as alt.flame on Usenet. Now the people there would make you look like a novice at flaming.

I don't want to join yet another forum. It's questionable whether I should even continue here, where nobody seems to understand (or wants to understand) even the basics. After this thread is concluded I'll stick to the James Randi Forum and others of that calibre where people appreciate a moderated environment.

Your post on the other forum seems a reasonable question, and it can be answered quite easily. Why don't you make it here?

I'll delete this post after a day or so, because it's off topic.

I'd like you to join in the discussion at my forum muso.

Unlike many, you can construct a post intelligently.

My forum needs a few more voices and yours is one one that will disagree with the mainly right wing element there (which is mostly me

).

Thanks for the offer DT. Although the Left side of politics seems to be more enthusiastic about doing something about Climate Change, I don't sit very comfortably with Left Wing thinking in general.

I'd describe myself as a Centrist. I used to vote Liberal consistently when the Libs were more Centrist in policy. Nowadays, I'd probably waste my vote rather than vote for a political party.

I am a great believer in recognition of personal effort and have little time for welfare. I'm also a capitalist, and proud of it.

I think that Marxist Socialism can be cured, a bit like that other adolescent scourge - pimples.

The we will probably find much common ground, though not in the area of 'climate change'. I am a proud denialist on many fronts.

But join up, you will find me a worthy opponent if debating is your fancy.

It won't cost a cent, it is painless and calorie free.

It might be LOW_IQ because DT has a different style. I guess you've seen my very pedantic moderation in Environment. I'm not going to let it become a haven for flaming.

Darwin,

I don't have access to the Admin controls. Besides, if you right click on the image, you'll see that it's remote hosted at :

http://i510.photobucket.com/albums/s349/IQSRLOW/images.jpg

It's Photobucket you would need to contact, but I don't like your chances. I think you can report it at least.

Good luck. If the artwork is original and copyrighted then you might have some luck depending on how far you want to take it. I take it that you have a statutory declaration that the image is your original artwork and witnessed by a JP of your State.

I don't know what your history with Deepthought is, and I might be speaking out of turn, but on the face of it, I'd say that you owe him an apology for making a false accusation against him.

The one about the image. It now looks as if it was IQSRLOW who was responsible. I don't doubt that DT would have kept you guessing though.
