Is this a joke??
I hope so...

I guess it is possible for an acclaimed antiscientist to be wondering this forum... it scares me.

First thing that comes to mind has the BA seen it, and the second is if she survived this long without getting banned maybe she can be an example to the CTers and HBers who come here with and get banned within week or a month.

Wierd, though. I was expecting a thread about German folk songs.

Shoot, you beat me to it. Although, strictly speaking, Lieder are German art songs. The folk songs would be Gesänge. I'm sure if I'm in error, crosscountry will correct me here.

Yup, then I was going to go on about how Schubert's are so full of pathos, Brahms' are always quite reserved, and Mahler's are the best, especially, for instance, Lob des hohen Verstands, which might serve well as the theme music for the CT forum.

But this is the beauty of the way this board is run - you can have an avowed ATM adherent pose all of the wild ideas in the world, but if they follow the board rules such as politeness and responding to posed questions if they declare a position in an issue, then the mere fact of who they are is not in itself a reason for a banning. I may stand corrected, but I haven't seen any example of Pinemartin having broken the forum rules.

People may consider Leider with distaste given the effect that she has had on some of the... more easily led... folk in the community, and they are certainly entitled to hold that view - I hold it myself, after all. However, I was be very disappointed if anyone was banned from the forum for simply holding a view, if they did not otherwise breach the BAUT rules.

Are you sure? I've never seen them in the same room together.

If she's not.
Why would she say she is Nancy Lieder anyway?

I can't wait for the humor gene to be found, so we can commence immediate therapy.

I think the claim is that she is just "wondering."

Now the only thing remaining is to show that Nancy actually has a sense of wonder.

At this time, I'd like to confess that I am Chuck Norris, here to Ninja-Kick the remaining ISS components into the proper orbit (the ability to do so being a popular internet rumor I'd like to absolutely confirm at this time). Having admitted my real identity, I have to wonder how many people in this thread are willing to believe my claims without inspection?

Is it not equally premature to either believe or disbelieve Pinemartin's claim at this time? Instinct aside (and I'll admit my instincts have definitely weighed in), there's absolutely no evidence either way. It's an unsupported claim, nothing more.

Okay, I'd say it's now no longer premature to form an opinion on the subject.

I'm getting a visual of Kirk Douglas being grilled by a panel of BAUT posters. Planet X'ers start rising, one by one at first, then in unison, all hailing . . .

I am Nancy Lieder!
