On one thread I proved that Joshua Cude was off by more than 4500 orders of magnitude. He goes silent. Then on another thread he posts the same mathematically disproven argument as if he had been right all along. If such an assertion isn't countered, lurkers will think he has a valid point. Someone like Cude is probably doing that same sort of thing across multiple issues and multiple threads. You yourself say that you tune him out, so his damage will be done by such an approach. Small-s skepticism is healthy. Large-S skepticism and debunking are tedious, tiresome, less valuable, and probably dissipative -- So Bill says they are not welcome. Large-S skepticism & debunking with dishonesty thrown in, plus some measure of bullshit, and the guy has crossed the line in my book. So... some Vorts want to see him ousted. You're already ignoring him, so what's the big deal if he gets ousted?
