User Signal to Noise Ratio and Banning

So you're going to give me crap about not moving away from materialism and toward ... what ... idealism? And you think that such a move would be based on evidence? Have you told this to all the philosophers?

~~ Paul
Materialism is a philosophy that cannot include psi. It cannot include psi because it would require a mechanism to do so. As no such mechanism is available, psi cannot exist for materialists. It's a pre-sealed world.

Why do skeptics assume proponents are snitches? Is there any evidence of this?
 
Exactly. Which is why none of you should be moderators. Either you're woefully incompetent enough to spot these things, or you think them funny enough to allow trolling to happen.

Thanks for clarifying my position

What's with the false dichotomy, oh you of the amazing critical thinking skills?

So why not just ignore him? That's what I do to the proponent trolls.

Do you ignore trash if it builds up in your car, or do you get rid of it. Why bother allowing such a user to continue to post? Are you actually saying that you didn't recognize D.S. as a troll?

Who assumed proponents were snitches? Iyace seemed to assume non-proponents were (taking our silence as lack of knowledge, meaning that if we had knowledge, we would have said something). Nobody said anything about proponents, though.

In fact, provide me one legitimate answer as to why you would spot a known troll who sent people violent porngraphic images and threats to other forum members and not speak up?

The way a sockpuppet is spotted is by doing an IP analysis.

As far as not being able to tell that two posters are the same person by their style, guilty as charged. You could disappear and come back as Ecayi and I wouldn't notice. In fact, I'd be in your debt if you'd post an old name/new name list.

I was unaware that Pabst had done this. Perhaps a properly maintained suspensions and banning thread would be helpful in this regard?
