I have a reason for you. It clearly violates rule #9 of the BAUT forum and is considered a seriuos violation. Should it be reported, it can lead to warnings or bannings. Especially since at least half a dozen people, including myself, have repeatedly warned you about this, I suspect the leniency given would be small.

The technique of posting a single provocative statement (or, commonly, a URL to a pseudoscience website) and then never posting again in a thread is greatly frowned upon. This is only a step above trolling. Barely.
