Jed, I vote to keep him off for a while. Perhaps you missed his insults toward me and others on the list.
What I find particularly funny is that he did not even realize that what I stated was true! If he eventually makes that spice model that I begged him and his friend Duncan to do, he might want to apologize. I built a model in less than 15 minutes that showed my position was completely valid. A cooling off period might change his attitude. How about a condition attached to his return:Build and test that spice model.

Debunking or "Pathological Skepticism" is banned (see the link.) The tone here should be one of legitimate disagreement and respectful debate. . . . http://www.amasci.com/weird/wvort.html#rules Perhaps you can invite him back after a bit? Also maybe Abd? I miss him. They might not swallow their pride and return. Maybe you should say "I acted too hastily, I apologize." Say this whether you mean it or not. That's how they do things in Japan. - Jed
