Is this a partial refund from the IRS or what?

It’s been a minute since I felt like posting anything on the IRS, and now I find out I can’t even log in. If this is about some kind of partial ban, nobody bothered to tell me. The only person who ever mentioned anything was shadoworca3, who basically threatened that if I kept posting a certain way, I might end up getting my access partially revoked.

And here’s the kicker: I didn't just stop that specific type of posting; I stopped posting altogether. It’s been months since I last said a word on there. So now, when I actually want to jump back into a discussion, I realize I’ve been locked out.

If shadoworca3 was actually serious about that threat, wouldn't it have been the decent thing to do to give me a heads-up?

Besides, what was the logic behind a partial ban anyway?

The whole reasoning was that if I didn't quit a certain style of writing—which could be interpreted as "skirting the edge of science" (as if an entire army of physicists isn't doing the exact same thing)—then I’d get hit with a partial ban. Well, I didn't just stop that style; I went totally silent on the IRS for a while, yet somehow, I still managed to get hit with a secret partial ban regardless.

Honestly, if this really came from shadoworca3, it feels a bit much... 🤦

Yeah, you definitely have some funds sitting there at the IRS. I’m honestly not sure why you didn't get an alert about it—maybe you were under a temporary ban or something back then, which would prevent the mods from sliding into your inbox with a notification. Let me check in with them and see what's up.

So, the Inquisition never sleeps. It seems they’re most productive while the rest of us are catching Z's. 🙂

Since I actually ended up getting a partial on the IRS site, it makes you wonder why such a one-track dictatorship exists there in the first place.

Maybe it's because you aren't allowed to claim something like this on the IRS site:

"This magnificent solar system of planets and comets could only have arisen as the product of the plan and action of a single intelligent and powerful being!"
Isaac Newton

"Supreme design and perfect order prevail throughout the entire universe, governed by these fundamental forces!"
Isaac Newton

Everything is determined by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect as well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust - we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.
Albert Einstein

Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.
Niels Bohr

Niels Bohr IT is wrong to think that The task of physics is to find out How Nature is. Physics concerns what we say about Nature.
Niels Bohr

Niels Bohr When IT comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry. The poet, too, is not nearly so concerned with describing facts as with creating images.
Niels Bohr

Looking at those quotes, it's pretty obvious that the people trying to turn the IRS site into an "exact" science won't let anyone near who dares to "walk the edge of science" (whatever that means) or ask questions that the greatest physicists of all time dared to pose constantly—the very same guys who are actually the biggest disgraces to science itself.

The people moderating the IRS site this way would be chased off with the harshest insults imaginable by the very people those moderators aren't even worthy of looking at their shoes, let alone polishing.

If there's such a thing as "over-moderation" on this forum, then it's high time someone seriously considers how far this pathetic witch hunt—which has been happening in its most extreme form on the IRS site for years—is actually allowed to go.

What do you think of this latest post, the Inquisition, the witch hunt... 😁

Look, you received your partial suspension on October 29, 2012, along with a three-day ban. It was a bit clumsy since you can't receive PMs while you're banned. This wasn't just about one single post following a warning; it was regarding your entire contribution to the site and your general modus operandi. You received several warnings—not just from shadoworca3, but from me as well—yet you ignored them all and simply kept doing what you were doing.
The "Advanced Physics for Laymen" thread, specifically when looking at the posts from October 29, 2012, and your attempt to "debate" the Skeptic, becomes one of the most tedious reads on the whole site. It’s everything: trolling, dumping massive walls of incoherent text, and constant provocation and mockery without even knowing who or what you are targeting.
Then, in this post, you pointed out the reason for all that rambling and nonsense:

Walter Brooks5 said:If it is impossible for me to kill my great-grandfather before he meets my great-grandmother, then it means time travel is impossible. Interestingly, time travel really is impossible, but for an entirely different reason; however, whatever that other reason may be, one must admit there is a very good reason for that reason to exist, right? Something feels purposeful here...

Which once again exposes you as a creationist troll, which isn't your first time. You already had a warning before, when I caught you using that "I don't want to say X, but X" rhetorical trap. This time, you got a red card for trolling.
Even a red card didn't stop you; instead, there was a series of provocations aimed at wand and the Skeptic, who had to state twice that he was stepping away from the argument with you. That resulted in your three-day ban, and after you failed to provide any valid reason why you shouldn't also receive a partial suspension, that was issued as well.

So, according to you, nature and its laws have no purpose—it's all just pure randomness. Only someone who has never truly engaged their brain regarding questions that Immanuel Kant (though you don't need to be Kant to get it) called a philosophical axiom would think that: "In mundo non datur casus, non datur hiatus, non datur saltus, non datur fatum!"

And Isaac Newton said this regarding the scientific inquisitors who are blinded by atheism:

Quote:

Regarding the Divine Creator of nature, my theory illuminates Him perfectly, making it necessary to acknowledge His immense and infinite power, wisdom, and providence, which inspires deep respect, gratitude, and love within us, thereby completely dismissing the trivial fantasies of those who believe the world arose by chance, or could have been constructed by some fatal necessity, or that it has simply existed forever, governed by its own inherent laws. First off, regarding the idea of chance, here is how they argue: combinations of a finite number of terms are finite in number, but a combination spanning through all of eternity must be an infinite number, even if we define "combination" as the entire sequence occurring over thousands of years. So, if we’re talking about the random shuffling of atoms—assuming everything plays out like the long string of coincidences we usually see—every single combination would have to repeat an infinite number of times. This means the probability of this specific combo we’re looking at popping up again by pure chance is infinitely higher than it ever returning through some kind of non-random fluke. People mess up here because they assume something is truly "random." In reality, everything in nature stems from determined causes. We only slap the label "random" on things when we're too clueless to identify the underlying causes driving them. But even putting that aside, saying the number of possible combinations is finite is just plain wrong if you actually account for what makes up the universe. Sure, the number of combinations is finite if you define a "combination" as just a simple sequence where one thing follows another. Here’s my take: imagine you took every single letter from a Virgil poem, tossed them into a bag, and started pulling them out one by one. If you kept doing that forever, you'd eventually get that exact Virgil sequence back, provided the number of consecutive repetitions exceeded any fixed limit. The thing is, the makeup of the world relies first and foremost on how matter is arranged in space—across length, width, and depth. Plus, you’ve got an infinite number of directions in a single plane, just like there are an infinite number of planes in space. For every direction in any given plane, there are infinitely many types of curves starting from a single point in that direction. And within each of those types, there are vastly more curves that *don't* pass through a specific set of points. So, when we try to pick a curve that passes through all those points of matter, we’re already dealing with an infinity of at least the third order. On top of that, if that curve is determined, the distance of any point from its nearest neighbor can vary infinitely. That means the number of possible arrangements for any single point—assuming everything else stays still—is absolutely infinite. Consequently, the total number of ways all these arrangements can change is infinite, at an order equal to the number of points raised to a power increased by at least three. It’s the same deal with velocity. The speed of any given point can vary infinitely, and its direction can vary infinitely of the second order, thanks to that endless supply of directions in a plane and planes in space. Since the entire structure of the world and the chain of events it produces depend on speed and direction—which scale up through levels of infinity—the number of distinct scenarios has to be multiplied three times by the number of particles of matter. Therefore, the number of different scenarios isn't finite; it's infinite, at an order of the fourth power of the number of points, increased by at least three. And this holds true even if the curve itself is determined by a force, which, by the way, can also vary in countless ways. Bottom line: the number of combinations regarding the composition of the world isn't finite at any given moment. It's infinite, of the highest order, considering the infinity of the points in space along any direction extended infinitely in both ways. Now, that infinity is analogous to the infinity of moments in all of eternity, since time only has one dimension. Because of this, the number of combinations is infinite, at an order much higher than the infinity of temporal moments. So, not only is it not guaranteed that all combinations will repeat infinitely, but the ratio of combinations that *don't* repeat is an infinity of the highest order—specifically, the fourth power of the number of points increased by at least two, or maybe three, if we’re allowed to tweak the laws of force. That whole argument basically falls apart and becomes worthless...

Would you actually start cherry-picking facts just because of this text and Isaac Newton?

Shame on you!!!

What’s the alternative to Intelligent Design or creationism if that's how you want to play it? Evolution? Calling evolution a "theory" is about as scientifically sound as claiming the universe is run by pure randomness instead of having an actual purpose. 🤦

The mainstream media should have been reporting on this kind of scandalous moderation at the IRS a long time ago. Honestly, this has moved way past being just bad taste; it's crossed into much more serious territory.

What gives you the right to lecture us about intelligent design on PŽK when you can't even manage a discussion on the IRS? Why don't you just head over to one of the subforums where you're actually on topic and talk to people who genuinely care about it? 🤷

Walter Brooks5, just to clear things up, I wasn't the one who signed off on your ban from the IRS; that was actually Zachary Mendoza2. However, the moderation team had already reached a consensus: if you kept up this specific pattern of behavior, you would be cut off. Since you didn't heed our warnings, Zachary followed through on what we all agreed upon. I was away from the forum for an extended period at the time, and since this was his first major call, he didn't realize he needed to send you a formal notification beforehand.
I sincerely apologize for the procedural slip-up, but the penalty itself stands.

PS, I’m pretty sure I spotted a clone of yours over on the IRS boards.
Don't even think about it.

"Apologies for the procedural error"? You've got a hell of a sense of humor!

And regarding this whole thing where you think I have a clone running around the IRS... what am I even supposed to say?

Can you seriously not suppress those Inquisitor impulses, even in a moment like this?

It’s like showing up to a funeral with a buddy like Zachary Mendoza2 and telling the widow, "Hey, looks like I saw your clone on the way in!"

I honestly couldn't care less what you "think"!

So, why haven't you permabanned that clone yet? 😂😂😂

This is peak stupidity for the world's "intellectuals"!!!

For the love of whatever sanity you have left—and for anyone reading this later—why don't you tell us here: who exactly is this clone of mine over at the IRS???

Just so I can head over there and see what kind of logic led you to believe they were me.

But to check that, I'd actually have to log in, right buddy? As Eric Adams would say, "partially"...
