The Watchtower Review, a Christian former JW forum run by Larry Ingram was shut down - deleted - when I simply appeared there and was followed by one former poster from the Observer who had got such a kick out of my trolling at there (at the Observer) that he imitated me just for fun. The Sceptic's Annotated Bible forum never bans people for any reason. I've been banned from there probably a half dozen times. I am the undisputed God of trolls. You don't want to see me troll, but you probably have. That isn't an idol boast, it's shame.

Yes, and you shouldn't object to it. If you enjoy free speech everyone else should enjoy it. I have free speech, I'm free to object. Those who I object to have free speech. They are free to object. I'm free to object to their objection, they are free to object to my objecting their objection. See how silly people are? It stops being funny when the objection turns into something more sinister.

What gave you the impression I was objecting, that you saw the need to give me a short lecture?

You're full of shit and yourself -- and not in that order.

Yes. It all makes sense now. Nearly everything you're told is a lie. Makes you think, huh? If providing solid evidence that what we know about the Holocaust is Soviet propaganda means I'm a Holocaust denier and anti-Semitic does providing evidence that the Bible is mythological make you a Bible denier and anti-Semitic? 

Does the term Holocaust Denier apply to the scientists and science that disproved anyone was gassed at Auschwitz by measuring the presence of gas in the alleged gas chambers?

And the moon landings were faked as well, I suppose.

No, being a Holocaust denier doesn’t make you anti-Semitic. It makes you either a troll or a gullible moron.

It wasn't a lecture it was a response. That's what we do on forums - didn't you know?

Oh dear.
These don't make you look good, data.
Perhaps you should start a separate thread on both of these issues.

Just so everyone knows, I will summarily and unilaterally delete any thread dedicated to Holocaust denial.

Fair enough.
That probably needs to be added to the forum rules. I was not aware that certain topics (other than terrorist support or porn) were verboten.

Not that I know of, though I wouldn't be surprised. This was faked . . .





Conspiracy theories are like other theories. Some true, some not. Saying something is a conspiracy theory means it isn't true is a lame defense by someone with no other real defense. Nonsense.

Well, argue the points there or spare me the nonsense.

If I were to delete such a thread, it would be a shocking abuse of power. Thing is, I don’t care.

How lucky are we that the inventor of Internet trolling has decided to grace us with its presence?
