    Banned Bartricks for a consistently disruptive and insulting attitude. Long overdue really.Jamal

    I have debated with Bartricks in some threads. I am sorry if my arguments or behaviour were one of the causes of his disruptive attitude.

    I have never written in Bannings thread because I understand that every member must respect the rules of the forum, and even after notice him, he keeps the same attitude, is understandable de banning.

    Nevertheless, I will miss him because I interacted usually. My feelings are weird...

    It appeared to me from looking at his posting history that he was unpleasant to nearly everyone, usually without provocation. Whatever caused this behaviour, it wasn’t you.

    Incidentally, he had been warned about it twice, once around the time he joined, and again recently.

    Is banning someone as difficult as firing someone? I guess not, when the person is Bartricks.

    Normally I consider the celebration of a ban unseemly, but in this case I encourage it.

    You’re just lucky they don’t ban for self-righteous
    twat-ness.

    I wished to engage with Barticks at one stage because I saw that he did have some interesting but unusual ideas. However, what I found was that he insulted me so much, with his sense of superiority, or ignored what I had said. For this reason, even though the forum may be important for diverse viewpoints, I felt more relief than sadness in discovering that he had been banned.

    ‘Bad actor’. Big deal, so he was obnoxious. Personally, insults get my competitive juices flowing and seem
    to bring out my best arguments. Maybe we should use a metric like ‘percentage of insults to arguments’ to decide who gets booted, to make sure our delicate sensibilities don’t blind us to whatever substantive contributions are intertwined with a nasty delivery.

    Lol, well come on. He NEVER misses an opportunity to express his self righteous condemnation of other posters, especially mods.

    Obnoxious doesn’t cover his behaviour. The bad acting was also utter lack of engagement bordering on proselytizing, disruptive influence on all discussions he was involved in and completely disingenuine.
    His “interesting” ideas we're all based on the same basic fallacy he couldnt recognize.
    The only reason he lasted as long as he did was because of idiots like you who thought they found a sparring part er rather than a troll with a personality disorder.

    He was bloody dreadful. Incapable of taking on any fresh arguments; putting up a pretence of using logic while failing to have even a basic understanding of the formalities; resorting to insults in every reply. Genuine oxygen thief.
