Interesting for the comments. And we got linked.

I've been mentioning talk polywell over there for the last six months.

I got banned from there years ago. Despite that they have picked up on a few of my blog posts. Some Drug War stuff IIRC.

I think they did some Polywell when Doc B got some money and I was way more prolific on that subject.

It can't hurt to keep their attention. I also noticed that some of the commenters had a fair technical grasp. Good!

It is exceedingly easy to get banned there. Oddly enough, Joe Strout (whom I presume is liberally inclined) is far more tolerant of dissent than is "Free Republic." If comments are any indication, I have come very close to getting banned there myself, but apparently the administration "likes the cut of my jib." Timid I am not, and I spend most of my time chasing after O-Bots. I've even done a piece of work of which I am somewhat proud. Take a peek.

You want to get banned somewhere, try going to www.physicsforums.com and saying "hi". They'll probably ban you for it...

Seriously, that site is absurd... bring up ANYTHING that doesn't fit in line with someone's preconceptions (about science, about history, about politics), and you're gone. That place is so far from "science" it's not even funny...

I had to stop reading the comments on that site. The argument between Lx and Warthog about EMC2 making SANs was just ... idiotic. Someone even posted the difference between EMC and EMC2.

Are the majority of posters like that over there?
