I wouldn't be too sure about that. latinijral has had (so far) 117 days (over 16 weeks) to answer Dude's questions, What is the "new skepticism", and what makes you it's father? While he lasted only 113 days on SkepticalCommunity, he is still unbanned (or so it seems) on SkepticPie (269 days and counting, but he's only made 10 posts there), and may have spent over a year trolling on the JREF forums before being banned. Of course, I don't know if he spent all his time in those places steadfastly refusing to answer two simple questions.quote:

Well, Dude's latest logical realization - that the "new skepticism" is worthless - is spot on for our mission, I think (gotta remember to nominate it). |

Well, Doc had started the thread he has asked for. We'll see what happens.

From here, he'll probably go to the Skeptic's Ring to select another place to whine and whinge about Randi, and and how unfairly JREF and SFN have treated him, even though he's lasted here a lot longer than he would have anywhere else.

One more slim chance to clean up his act, then butcher the pig and dump him.
I think I know why people are still responding to him. He's Piper-esque in his posting style. Instead of the ALSJ, he's railing against the JREF. Completely impervious to logic and evidence, he continues to forward the same set of assertations and insults.
My Goddess, I am cured at last. I need not respond to him ever again. |

Well, by latin's own (apparent) criteria, it seems that "new skepticism" is prettymuch useless.
"old" skepticism, he claims, is a failure since it cannot force Geller to completely retire.
Therefore "new" skepticism must be an even worse failure, because it can't even convince the "old" skeptics that they are wrong!
Way to go latin, your the father of a miserable failure!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Holy SHIT! This is dead on, Dude. Thanks for pointing out this bit of logic we should have put forward ages ago!
All too true. But I still contend that the "new skepticism" is actually a belief in UFOs and alien visitation, based on the (admittedly meager) evidence we have:
-lat shows up ranting about Randi and Carlos and his WTC pictures, which has a UFO connection.
-The only thing he provides as a reference as to what the "new" skepticism might be is a rant by Drasin, who goes on at length about UFOs.
-I have challenged lat on this point repeatedly, yet has not replied, even in his usual dopey manner. In fact, he has avoided the topic like the plague. Hell, he responded to a perceived accusation that he had sex with amimals, but not a word when repeatedly asked about his UFO experience.
Hmmmmmmm.

These are all rules that you agreed to when you joined SFN.
Yes , and I don't see nothing about closing other threads if someone don't answer a curiosity out of topic first.
Then ,under your own rules, I demand you to open the threads you closed BEFORE I start to write ( on topic) in Dr Mabuse's thread about your SFN curiosity.

That is part of your double speech as the pseudo skeptic you are.
When the pseudo sceptics members of SFN began being vulgar, harassing, hateful and threatening with me ……… name calling , hijacking my threads, etc. …… you and your other pseudo skeptic administrator were on silence.
You just waked up when I gave them of their own medicine.
Hypocrital double speech you are.
Loser.
Just the same kind of action of other psudo sceptics forums.
And about that little “sexually oriented” ICON (with the girl removing her top).
You made me laugh. How many times you confessed your sin for looking at it?
You better “think” about Dr. Mabuse , when he WROTE about the TITS of his girlfriend.
Did you masturbated when you read it?
Double loser.

It is your lousy attitude and your continual breaking of the rules that may get you banned. As time goes on, you have made it harder and harder to let you slide on the rules that you have agreed to abide by. You can whine all you want to about our unfairness, but the fact that you are still here and allowed to post demonstrates that we are more than fair. We have bent over backwards for you and you still insult us with your lies and name-calling. What kind of person does that?
A person who is not afraid to tell you all the mistakes , lies , and contradictions of pseudo skeptic forums .
And what was THE RULE for closing my thread at the religion forum?
The pseudo skeptic loser rule.

So, latinijral, let me get this straight. You want to be banned so you will not have to answer the questions?

[/quote]Pretty amazing, isn't it? I won't claim that I saw it coming, but anyone who didn't see it must have been bitten by the tse-tse fly. 
To make it all as fair and reasonable as possible, I've decided to only observe Doc's thread, not participate. It will make no difference of course, as it not even the Gods of the Greeks could keep this hobnail honest. It just ain't in his nature.

And I'll post the link here too:
http://www.skepticfriends.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4067
Come on Latin, we've been asking for quite a while now. If you are really the 'father' of the 'new skepticism' it shouldn't be that hard to tell us what the 'new skepticism' is and why you are the father of it. Game time's over son, get to work. |

Over there in Doc's thread, something stuck in my mind -- took me a while to get a handle on it, then I realized that it's been apparent for some time:
quote:
So I can't talk about the tits of your girlfriend here?
I can't hijack this topic just because you said so?
I can't not treat you as the STUPID you are for starting a thread with a biased /juvenile opinion?
Will you answer me if a make a question to you?
[quote]Originally posted by DR. MABUSE.
Latinijral please answer these questions :
What is the 'new skepticism' and what qualifies you to be it's father?
Read all the above and answer me before I get on topic.
I also demanded some things to KIL.
The rules and questions are for everyone here.
I combat double speech and hypocrisy……………..son.
P.D.
You have the option to edit your opening post in order to you to start logically.
You need to answer me first, since you started with a biased opinion.
If someone edit this post , I will not continue.
This arrogant, insufferable, little twit seems to think that he can come in here and dictate to the administration!
Hey Kil, might I suggest that you close all of the treads concerning latinijral except Doc's? Beyond sharpening our skills of vituperation, they serve no useful purpose and are far removed from the SFN mission. And having but the one concise and to the point thread might help concentrate his attention.

We were also silent about your transgressions of the rules for quite some time. Your first action here was to title a thread with the word "shit." Your second post here began harassing MoeFaux and "the desperate of some Randi´s fans."
It is only after nearly four months of this nonsense that you're being asked to answer for your actions. And what's your answer? That other people have done it, too. That excuse hasn't worked for me - anywhere - since kindergarten. |

Yeah, I know. That is a big part of his M.O. And of course, he gets banned a lot for trying to do just that. But that is not the reason we will ban him. He has it in his mind that he, like all others who think they have cornered the market on truth, has a sacred mission to accomplish. With all his lies, he actually believes he has ownership of the moral high ground. Plus, it is pretty clear that he hates skeptics. I think it is telling that he dodges every pertinent question put to him. He wouldn't know or understand critical thinking if it fell over it. So I guess critical thinking is not a part of the apparently non-existent “new skepticism.”
We have given him enough rope to hang himself with, and he is doing just that. It could have been otherwise. When he bitches about how unfairly he was treated here, all of the stuff he has posted in response to all of our attempts to get him to answer simple questions about claims he has made will be here for all to see, if they are interested. His attempts at martyrdom will not fly.
He has shown all who care to look that what he has accomplished here is a demonstration of how pathetic he really is. It's kinda sad if you think about it… |

It's cool. But I fear that any further comment I might put forth concerning latinijral would be quickly deleted, and rightfully. I and others have already asked him The Question numerous times in a number of wordings, and have nothing to show for it but a little amusment at his squirming away from the topic, whilst ducking flying red herrings.
Kinda like trying to grab a hagfish in a in a bucket of it's own, cold mucus excretions.
But I might suggest either using this thread, or perhaps open a new one..... forget that, he has too many threads now -- to sort of collect comments that might not be entirely appropate in Doc's.
On the other hand, the thought occurs that, as he actually has no answer, this might not last long enough to make collecting outside comments worthwhile. I forsee little but more of the same from latinijral.
