Oh, yeah, sure, give ALL of our secrets to eeryone in the world. Gee, I wonder who's gonna blow us up first, maybe OUR ENEMIES!!!

Dude is in competition w/Piper for zaniness(word?), IMO.


Anyway, about Russ' analysis. Would anyone care to point that out to me?

Thanks, Zandermann.
NOW I remember. I have read that analysis. And, after reading, Piper's reply, I have to assume(which, in Piper's case, is a good thing) that Piper spent all of his riches(if he even had any in the first place) on drugs and shit like that.

An example:

>> Again I have taken the time to do an analysis of your pic using PS. Once again it is obvious you have no clue what you are talking about.

>Oh, now isn't that scientific (not).

Notice how, when it is brought up that the subject has no idea what he's doing, the subject just dismisses it with a wave of his hand.

Example 2 - An attack:
>>I suggest you purchase the industry professional version of PhotoShop. You will then be able to throw away your magnifying glass and REALLY SEE something in these pics.

>I already have a nice set up, and fortunately I have 20/20 vision. I have noticed that people with poor vision and many who wear glasses have great difficulty discerning objects in satellite photos, and long range anomalies on the ground in Apollo photos. Maybe you fall into the poor vision category. That's the only thing I can come up with. Maybe you are just in denial, and need to inject a little honesty into your life.

I noticed something a little different about Piper's latest foray onto the BA board. The picture he used to "prove" buildings on the moon is one he has used before. His arguments were even the same. It's so recent in fact, if you scroll down a bit, the entire thread is still there, including Rift's most excellent debunk job.
Do I detect a note of desperation here? Has Piper finally run out of material? Hope so.

Nah, rhetoric style was the same. A few days ago, there was a fake Piper on the board, and it really pissed off BA. Actually, I can see his reasoning. When we post here, our e-mail addresses are automatic. I still thought it was funny.
For example, if someone posted under my name with the message:
"To the Board: A bunch of us got together last night an discussed this via e-mail. Conspiracy Dave is right. Space aliens are the only logical explanation for the pyramids and monuments in Egypt".
Heck, I'd LMAO. I'd post as the Real Lisa, and point out it's false, but I wouldn't start a flame war over it.
BTW, has anyone ever given BA this address. Guy might want to blow off a little steam himself.

Yeah, I finally wrote to him and gave him this place. He can't do too much bitching himself, because it would get out. He just wants to know what we're saying. I mean, we never bitch about BA the person, right? We flame about the moronic trolls that invade us about once a week. Rubysue is right, there's a certain pattern to this. I can almost set my watch to "Piper".

Yeah, we talk about the things that BA won't let on his website. But then I wouldn't allow my kid onto his site if he did. At least she can start to learn some stuff that I can't explain.

Everyone has been so nice to Caity over there in responding to her questions so she can understand them. She really is enjoying reading those answers too.

Hi guys-- I'm not here to spy on you! I just like to see what y'all will gossip about that's not appropriate at the BABB. Looks pretty much the same, just more conversational and maybe a bit more bitchy. ;-) Eventually, I will have up a board that will be set up like the Straight Dope Message Board, and there can be a flame pit and everything. It'll be a while though. I really am hoping by the end of the year.

BA, @tomic has given us a nice little place we can run to when Piper, Conspiracy Dave, et al show up. Here we can throw things around, bang heads on keyboards, and happily say nasty, bitchy, catty stuff behind their backs. Then it's a nice deep breath, and back into the fray! I'm sure you recognize quite a few names in this folder.
Bozola, I see your buddy Patch is back. What is up with that chick anyway? And a thousand pardons for being an internet idiot, but what is a cybersquatter? And I still don't understand the deal with the .RubyRidge address.

People who register domain names of well known entities/titles/concepts/etc.

Some guy registers www.mcdonalds.com, then tries to sell it back to the McDonald's corporation for a million dollars, is a cybersquatter. (This actually happened, but I don't know the details).

I saw that, Lisa. I said something snotty, then on reflection, decided it wasn't worth my time backing over a speedbump 'possum on the information superhighway.

Bleh.

Hiya, Phil.

I'm glad to see Phil here :) Howdy Phil :)

This forum has really helped me alot. Instead of getting in flame wars with the morons we just come over here and talk behind their backs and let off steam. lol. I don't think I've gotten in one flame war over at the BABB since...
I'm glad to see Caity posting, I really wish we had more kids posting over there actually. Explaining things to kids who want to learn is a heck of a lot more fun then explaining things to adults who don't want to learn :)
