Closed thread

Moderation Note: this post was moved from Assertion of an "absolute now" from "What is 'spacetime' really" because the poster is correct—it was not in the appropriate thread.

From my post 212:
[QUOTE]I'm still waiting for Qfwfq to re-open the "spacetime" thread and"uncork" those two posts so everyone can see my replies... as s/he said in last "spacetime" post:[/QUOTE

The posts asked legitimate questions and I answered them clearly.
What's up Qfwfq? Maybe if you ignore me long enough I will go away?
Maybe, but it's not fair to let those posts ask me questions and not allow my answers.
Maybe you will delete this post too as not appropriate to this thread... which it isn't... and the gag will be complete.

Re: the closed "spacetime" thread...
There were two posts questioning me at the end and I answered them, only to be deleted and the thread closed. I opened a new thread on unfinished spacetime business and it was deleted. I made further comment in this thread to request re-opening and it was "moved" (to where I don't know... effectively deleted.)

Freeztar replied to my last post to him in a PM including my answers to him... which can now be shared if only I can find a thread where I will not censored/deleted/moved to som unknown place.
I can also re-write my reply to Boerseun... the other deleted post quite easily.

So, with all hope that fairness can prevail... where... dear moderators... shall I complete this "unfinished business" and be done with it?
Qfwfq is not responding to my several requests to release those last two posts.
If this post too is deleted... I am gone... censorship wins again, and Qfwfq is a tyrant. (Def: Exercising power without fairness. It was Maddog's inflammatory post with which he agreed as he closed the thread.
Please give me one small break here and allow this post to stand. No place else to go with it.

This is the private message I sent you yesterday:

Subject: Moved Post
Message: I've moved your post regarding a closed thread to:

Closed thread

You were correct that it was not in the appropriate thread. There's no guarantee Q read your post if he's not keeping up on that thread. For this reason I'd normally suggest a private message for that sort of thing.

~modest

If you are having trouble reading your private messages or following links like the one above then let me know and I can help.

The staff is discussing your complaint, so please be patient and someone will get back to you.

Thanks.

Ok, Michael.

Your deleted posts have been moved into the spacetime thread, but it will stay closed for now and any additional posts of that kind (an attempt to carry on with the thread elsewhere) will be deleted. There was plenty of fair warning that all the off topic, repetitious, and rude conversation would amount to the thread being closed. Several members endorsed the measure, so it seems all-around best to leave the thread closed indefinitely. I'd add that many threads are closed when discussion has reached either a logical conclusion or an impasse—it's not at all uncommon. So please don't think your thread or that topic was singled out.

Qfwfq, ending the parent thread:

I reckon this thread could possibly continue whenever it should become feasible to settle differences that are due, essentially, to misconceptions. Should this ever come to pass, it will include the post Dick was in the middle of working on and the two in the cork that attempted to come bobbing back up. Fair enough?

How long is long enough to keep a lock on my last two posts in that thread and let me "settle differences that are due," which I thought those posts did, explaining the misconceptions to which I was replying?
There is indeed "unfinished business" there. My last two posts were my best effort to "finish."

Michael,
let me make an educated guess.

"How long is long enough?" is probably the length of time it takes for you to realize, and admit, that you have failed to explain anything, so far. And to grow up a little. Jeez, Michael, how much whining and crying are you going to do? Chill out.

An adult -- with even nominal intelligence -- would have realized by now that being rude and insulting and arrogant was NOT going to make people cooperate with you, like you, or even put up with you.

If you were truly the "smart" person you claim to be, Michael, you would have adjusted your behavior WEEKS AGO. [If you are a psychologist, then why doesn't Operant Conditioning work on you?]

Were you truly the "smart" person you claim to be, you would have already understood WEEKS AGO that simply repeating over and over again that there is an "absolute now" DOES NOT constitute an explanation.

So, a word to the wise, Michael, stop whining, stop repeating yourself, stop insulting folks.

If you have anything more than your blind faith in your Ontological Vision, then by all means, let's hear it. Otherwise, stop wasting our time.

Shape up or ship out. I suspended you once. I can do it again.

Moderation note: the above 2 posts were moved from Assertion of an "absolute now" from "What is 'spacetime' really" where the subject of a closed thread was, again, off topic

I've got confused. Are those two posts, which apparently are better than all the works of all the religions and all the sciences put together, available somewhere now? I have so much to learn, and so little time, that reading those two posts would probably live in my memory as the greatest event of my life.

So, where are they?

Thanks.

Yes, they are available as posts #785 and #786 in the thread "What is "spacetime" really?" There is nothing new in the two posts. Literally, everything brought up is a rehashed and repeated claim made and discussed several times previously in the thread.
