Radiation

[Abaddon]

Suspended just now. No idea for how long. It will be some time before Tim will be answering questions.

Being a mod anywhere is a difficult and demanding job, but they have been to lenient with him.

[Abaddon]

Weird new gambit he's got going on now.

Wonder where Ben is? He might be able to help with this.

well it might be related to Tim's desire that everyone follow him to Facebook where he could control the conversation. He got no takers for that,so he is trying to control the conversation on CQ. That is just a guess. In any event, Tim got dinged for multiple reasons, all of which he knew were not allowed since he had previous warnings for and 1 suspension .  I don't recall off the top of my head the steps in the suspension scale on CQ. Nevertheless the mods flat out stated that upon returning any further infractions would result in a ban. Seems a bit severe to me, but I am just a member and not party to mod decision processes.

ETA. Mod just posted, it's a two week suspension.

TimFinch is gone for the next two weeks (or longer) so he won't be answering questions soon. The mail box will have time to cool off.

It just reminded me of this

especially the closing line...

That is bloody hilarious!

I haven't looked at CQ for a while. TBH I got a bit fed up of Tim's constant nonsense. I have actually blocked him from facebook messenger. i'm sure in good time he will be banned from CQ

[gillianren]

It'll be at least two weeks before that happens . . . .

[benparry]

well that's 2 weeks for him to google something else to throw at the wall lol

Or he will start commenting, again in the new thread that he doesn't understand the 3-D representations that clearly support Apollo skimming near the upper boundary of the VARB, missing most of the radiation, therein.

that's why I was getting annoyed. he was clearly wrong just wouldn't admit it

Yes as gillianren has noted, he can't publically admit to his incorrect observations, radiation, TLI planes needed to get the crews safely above the VARB and land on the Moon.  I don't believe he will last long when the suspension is over, but that is just me.

I don't believe he will last lnof when the suspension is over, but that is just me.

My money is on a short return punctuated with a final flame-out.

If the mods follow through, he needs to answer outstanding questions. If he googles new facts that are unrelated to the trajectory and shielding and throws these at the wall, then your guess is as good as mine regarding the moderator reaction.

That's par for the course in these circumstances.
