Doodler has been suspended for three weeks. He has been warned numerous times and suspended previously for making very rude and caustic statements to people.

That being said, Doodler is a long time member who aside from his rudeness contributes quite a number of interesting ideas to this forum. It is our hope that he will realize that the BAUT environment is different and more gentle than what he may be accustomed to elsewhere.

Interdimensional Warrior permanently banned, per his request, after threatening to commit bannable actions should his request not be immediately honored, here 1st Question: How was the Apollo space craft cooled ?.

Note that an effort was made to both give him time to calm down, encourage him to stay, change from his "typical HB fallback" when demonstrated wrong, etc...

wolfpoker has been suspended for seven days, to give me time to clean the obscene language out of his posts. If he continues with this linguistic style after returning, he will become forever unwelcome here.

Dfrank suspended 3 das for failure to answer direct and pertinent questions, despite requests from both members, warnings from a moderator, and finally a very specific moderator warning detailing the questions he must answer to avoid a short suspension, in this thread NASA the CONSPIRACY generator. It is my hope that Dfrank uses these 3 days to ponder the answer to the question tasked of him before his return.

Dfrank suspended 21 days for second failure to answer direct question and failure to heed moderator warning. During the 3 week break it is my hope that Dfrank uses the time to again read his thread, compose answers, and heed the moderator warnings. Dfrank should also remember that "I don't know", and "I am wrong" are perfectly acceptable answers.

Robert S. Fritzius suspended for 3 days for continued failure to answer direct and pertinent questions in the ATM forum wrt his "Venus Bugging Us?" 'hypothesis'. Also, continued failure to heed moderator warnings. Note that Robert recieved MANY, MANY warnings to do answer questions, from the cordial and freindly to the official, and failed to do so. It is my hope that Robert uses these 3 days to review the thread, prepare to begin to answer questions, and realize that moderator warnings at BAUT are best heeded.

BobbyGene banned after 2 moderator warnings (1 friendly, 1 official) wrt his behavior at BAUT in 24 hrs. He then inexplicably makes this post:

If the Law of Conservation of Energy is true, then .....

For the record, I had no intentions of either banning him or closing his thread before his flame out. I had, in fact, post a critical challenge to his ATM theory, but edited it because he seemed to have an attitude problem.

Dennis Dorgan has been banned forever for being a sock puppet of a previously banned member. Note that he/she said in a PM (and I'm paraphrasing here) Ha ha ha ha, you can't stop me. He or she is probably right about that.

It seems strange that someone wanting to discuss religious issues would come here, and persist in returning.

Robert S. Fritzius has been suspended for 2 weeks for his second violation of failure to answer direct and pertinent questions, failure to heed moderator warnings, handwaiving, in this thread:

Life on Venus bugging us?

Note he has been given MANY warnings, and despite them, and a previous suspension, still has unanswered questions from over 400 posts ago. It is my sincere hope that when Robert returns, he begins to respond to the questions that have been posed to him, and retreats from his debate style of handwaiving to attempt to avoid answering questions wrt ATM and Conspiracy claims made.

Edit - my sleep-deprived brain made it for an extremely harsh 2 months, not the intended 2 weeks. This has been corrected.

DennisD banned as a sock puppet of a previously banned member. This person has a strange fascination with sock puppetry at this forum, and thinks somehow that their minor antics are somehow a major disruption. To DennisD et. al., it takes you much more effort to create the sock puppet than it does a moderator to ban it. Enjoy yourself. You are irrelevant, at best.
