Not very "scientific." No Schneibster, what happened to you was you got yourself suspended for behaving like an obnoxious ass towards other members here. It was 100% your own fault, the same behavior that's gotten you banned on half a dozen other science sites in the last few months. I see the cause-->effect realtionship still hasn't dawned on you.

Schneibster Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Ummm, telling the truth is not "behaving like an obnoxious ass." What I see is a bunch of Libertardians trying to take over the Internet to stifle the truth. Edited March 29, 2014 by Schneibster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acme Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 ... Looks pretty much like what happened to me on this forum. Not very "scientific." Pettle balling the kot cack? The Art of Fine Whining... Kowalski (2002) wrote that people often complain to reduce discomfort, which is different from dissatisfaction. She explained that "...a state of self-focus forms the basis of every complaint episode. When in a sate of self-focused attention, people compare the current state of events with their standards for those events." According to Kowalski's research, when the current state of affairs matches our standards, we feel good. When reality falls short of our standards, we feel the need to complain or whine. ... source: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/ironshrink/201001/the-art-fine-whining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then try "telling the truth" the same way you did before and see how many weeks' suspension you get this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schneibster Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Already done in the IP. The only question is how embarassible your primaries are. Edited March 29, 2014 by Schneibster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Horton Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Already done in the IP. The only question is how embarassible your primaries are. Let's see what you posted in the IP "The strategies employed in those attacks follow a common playbook, regardless of which scientific proposition is being denied and regardless of who the targeted scientists are: There is cyber-bullying and public abuse by “trolling” (which recent research has linked to sadism); there is harassment by vexatious freedom-of-information (FOI) requests; there are the complaints to academic institutions; legal threats; and perhaps most troubling, there is the intimidation of journal editors and publishers who are acting on manuscripts that are considered inconvenient." Here's great example of where a complete asshat wrote letters to the IRL academic institution that employs TR moderator and threatened her with legal action, basically blackmail, if she didn't disclose the RL name and address of someone who supposedly insulted the asshat. http://www.talkrational.org/showthread.php?p=2338424#post2338424 The despicable action got the asshat permabanned and rightfully so. By a strange coincidence the asshat doing the harassment and blackmailing was also named "Schneibster" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schneibster Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 It's not about disclosing anything to me. It's about reporting illegal activity to the police, which she has refused to do. That's obstruction of justice, and I do not intend to engage in that myself; I'll be making phone calls to take care of this shortly. Sorry I had to have a delay for my wife, she had cancer. I expect you'll try to claim I'm guilty for taking care of her for a week. Good luck with that. You should have stayed off this site; you're an obvious stalker.

Cap'n Refsmmat Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Ummm, telling the truth is not "behaving like an obnoxious ass."The two are not mutually exclusive, as your use of the term "libertardians" demonstrates. Since this thread is clearly going to go nowhere, I'm going to end it now. If you want to discuss why you were banned, well, you know where to contact me.

hypervalent_iodine Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 ! Moderator Note Timothy Horton, Although this thread has already been closed, it's worth pointing out to you that we don't allow members to make personal and insulting comments towards others on SFN. That goes as much for Schneibster as it does to the people responding to him. We also generally discourage bringing in drama from other fora into threads here.
