Timfinch has been permanently banned. I tried to give him an opportunity to earn his way out of being under moderation and he became argumentative and rude.
I couldn't come here for about ten days and when I returned there was this massive thread. I'm only up to page 130, so plenty more to go.
I marveled at the incredible patience of some our members who stuck with the clown and politely repeated themselves over and over because he repeated himself so often, didn't really understand them, and didn't do as some suggested to educate himself. He impressed me as generally a much better-educated HB than many we've had here and at least he could write competently, but his overall approach to the subject was just as poor as many of the others.
To me, Timfinch portrayed himself as a one-eyed dogmatist who is probably an attention-seeker, didn't want to learn, has more ego than brains, and the attitude of "Don't bother me with the facts, my mind is already made up."
In fact, I wonder if he even read JayUtah's post No. 934 on page 63, which I thought was an excellent, powerful and accurate description of Timfinch's behaviour.
