CBIT,
“Also, Penigma must be banned.”
I never ban people for disagreeing, even badly.
Just for bad behavior (see the late Dog Gone).
I’m mostly kidding, and trying to provoke him, but WTF is the point of him being here if he won’t engage with more of us that counter his points? If he needs an echo chamber, there are far better choices than this place.
