A video I found where an amateur physicist is pretty angry at some moderator. Just wondering if the mods have seen it.

Evo said:1) He turned a thread in IR into a personal blog.
2) He was told IR was not the place for a personal blog.
3) Thread was closed.
4) The end.
I don't know if non-staff can read the posts. You can because you're staff.dlgoff said:And if one (not you Evo) wants to read all 614 post, you'll find lots of smart PFers showing him his mistakes. https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=87097"

LOL, who knows anymore? I thought first level IR was mentor only, then if it passed, SA's could read it and give input. I wasn't aware that IR was open to the entire forum. I thought it was fenced in because it was iffy stuff, even if approved.micromass said:I can read the post while logged out. So I figure everybody can...
So, in your opinion, is his science totally out to lunch? I didn't watch it, or read any of it - it's over my head.Lacy33 said:I have been stuck on stupid a few times ... but he makes me look lazy! He just does NOT give it up or get it..

He should have worn his hat. I think he looks more convincing wearing his hat.Tosh5457 said:His hair and voice are annoying, stopped after 10 seconds
I thought we voted not to mix those into the main forums. Oh well.I like Serena said:Uhh, I think it is not IR anymore. It is now General Physics. :uhh:
Hi DA. Yeah this guy does seem to have some personal issues to work through and sort out. But we all have that at one time or another, I suppose. Maintaining a sense of humor in the midst of personal angst can be helpful. He does seem to have a certain sense of humor about his stuff. And he does, sort of, remind one of Woody Allen. Although he's definitely more annoying than funny.DevilsAvocado said:omg, I better keep my big mouth shut because this guy has some http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk_IAN7ej0w" you shouldn’t joke about, sorry
ThomasT said:And, wrt this thread, he's getting what he seems to want most -- a thread about Doug Sweetser.
I had remembered Greg mentioning this in the Feedback forum. That's why I searched and posted the link to the thread.Evo said:I thought we voted not to mix those into the main forums. Oh well.
Greg Bernhardt said:PF staff has concluded that the Independent Research forum is no longer useful or in the best interests of the community. No new or "in review" submissions will be accepted. Current active threads will remain open until June 27th to allow the participants proper conclusion. Then all threads will be locked and merged into General Physics. Thanks!
Hmmm, well he is a somewhat interesting guy, and as hobbies go, his (the physics and music stuff) are good ones, imho. However, while I have my own gripes against sometimes spotty and apparently arbitrary moderation wrt some forums and threads, I don't see any reason not to close his 'unifying theory' thread in the IR forum -- even if any of his point(s) are actually insightful. The thread will still be available for viewing even after it's locked. Won't it?I like Serena said:And seeing he is a gold member who has not been banned, he'll get the chance to admire this thread!
He's just not been around yet since a week.
