Well, the Straight Dope Forum just banned me for trolling.  Most of my posts were on the Apollo thread.  Not sure which of my posts were the offending ones.

And they consigned the whole thread to the cornfield.

It seems the forum has been scrubbed of anything to do with my handle also.  Does this seem to be oversensitive for a forum?

They're pretty sensitive to anything that smacks of a board war. They've had problems with Stormfront invasions in the past.

Their FAQ says in part; "We have one guiding principle: Don't be a jerk."  I was a jerk to the person formerly known as TimFinch.  Sucks to be me hahahaha,

So, does Tim have any other outlets for his argument?

I was reading the thread RanB posted on as a guest and then all of a sudden I couldn't access the thread at all. Found that a bit weird

I bookmarked page 3 to be sure to be able to find it again, and now I have the same problem. So I have registered and have had my account activated - same result. The title was "Apollo 11's mission radiation dose is to low to have made a lunar transit." - Page 3 - Straight Dope Message Board. What comes after the quotemark is part of the link. I have also tried to search for "hesenberg" but in vain. Could the whole thread have been deleted or something?

There is one very small thread in the "about our board" and a long time member asked about the thread and basically got "We prefer not to talk about it openly, PM if you want"

All for the best. As Jay pointed out, the guy is nothing but a troll.

My banning was sudden, no warning at all.  I was banned for trolling and that was it.  :( :)

As far as I know there is no way to contact the board admin to find out exactly what I did to piss them off.  If anyone here knows beowulff on TSD forum, maybe he is wiling to give me a clue?

They tossed the thread and Tim, apparently because it was simply so utterly stupid. Can't really say I blame them. I have some fragments in my cache. It seems to me that Tim simply doubled down on the dumb. Here and CQ, if it is deleted and that is the end of it. On ISF if it is deleted, it appears in a member only spot for the simple reason that nobody will learn from it if nobody can see it. There might be such a location on TSD, I don't know, not being a member.
