Being away to keep from getting disappointed by Cellarites. Seems that when I spoke the truth here, some uberliberals wanted to squash my right to speak, so I just decided to let them have the site. It was fun for a while, and it takes a lot to offend me, but they finally wore me down. The web is a gigantic media, so I've found nicer places. Still look at the pod occasionally, but usually keep signed off.

I have no idea what incident you are talking about, but what's more likely is that you said something you couldn't defend well and when somebody called you on it, you saw you were losing the argument, so you ran away.

A open minded person would take that opportunity to reexamine their beliefs and either learn something new or else realize that they were right all along and be able to clearly articulate why they are right. Nobody knows it all. There's no shame in being wrong, as long as you are willing to learn from it.

Well, the last thread he participated in (besides this one) is http://cellar.org/showthread.php?t=6314http://cellar.org/showthread.php?t=6314. It's an OLD thread circa 2004, but it seems I had resurrected it (perhaps a poor choice of words) in June of 2011. The conversation eventually turned to evolution, creationism, scientific method, etc and then, quiet.

I see zero evidence of any effort to "squash his right to speak", though he would likely find the conversation as disappointing now as he did then.

spudcon, come on back. I'd love to read what you have to say.

Yeah, and if all the super heroes were jumping off of bridges would you do that too?
