Agnosticism IS the most dishonest position

Exactly. He's also quite good at changing the subject, or clouding the issue in such ambiguity that you're no longer even talking about the original issue... Bel is quite a slippery one. I'm glad someone else sees it and is finally willing to admit it publicly. Most shots I've seen fired at Bel have been in private conversations I've had with other users, who don't call him out on his nonsense because they think it's not worth the trouble, or they don't want to rock the boat. Silly.

Called it long ago and was shot down for being judgmental of a new member. Now we all know.

That's honestly laughable, considering how rude I've seen some longtime members here be toward new members who were maybe a bit eccentric, but not in the least bit mean-spirited. I remember one new member sending me private messages and he/she seemed to be legitimately distressed about the harshly cold welcome he got from people here on the board. I think, as smart as the community is here (most folks on AF are much smarter than myself, and that is part of what keeps me coming here), people fall victim to their own biases just like any other group of individuals... No one is above human nature - I've seen people here fall victim to that nature many a time, smart as they may be outside of those instances.

However... Thanks for chiming in though, Abaddon. I will continue to call Bel out where I see fit... but it's often an effort in futility, because he will just ignore you when you criticize him, and continue to interact with the people who tend to put up with his slippery ways.
