I started a discussion of gravity wave discussion that was closed due to religiosity or what ever thread drift.

Upsetting but not important. Some members have long established foils with which they argue their own argument ad infintitum.

The first post I ever made here was interpreted as that of a troll for merely showing what I had invented in using computers to decorate wooden instruments. Someone thought I was going to sell them something.

In fifteen years I have not sold you anything. I contributed money, works of art, opinions and a tiny bit of expertise AND LOTS OF CRAPPY CARTOONS.

I say banishment should be preserved for those who threaten violenc or revenge. Let idiots be idiots.

Sometimes the only thing that survives is the ancient graffiti in Rome. But if you want to let only the lofty prose to survive it does not seem honest to me.

The real issue is not to close threads that have graffiti all over it, especially when the subject is historic and a first in history
