John Lee: It would be nice if you limited your posts to real events, not paranoid delusions. Not that I expect you to- I'm sure the stuff in your head seems very real to you- but the first qualifier to this subforum starts with the word "real".
No response expected.

Good point, perhaps we could have a SURreal World Event forum and invite PN to post there as much as he pleases. Or just move his threads there.
Heads should roll

If everyone stops talking to him the voices get quieter - why does no one else seem to understand this? He posts stupid sh*t and 20 people reply, "that's stupid sh*t!" That's mission accomplished for Inbred Views.

Can't say I agree.
In the matter of free speech, what's the difference between making PN go post on an alternate board or forbidding him from posting his crazy on here, versus making Democrat protestors go stand in barbed wire enclosed areas three miles from Bush?

Well here's my view of it:
People should be free to voice protests and criticisms against their elected leaders - they should be free to set up their own media outlet with that very aim. What those people shouldn't be allowed to do is hijack another media that exists without that stated aim (like CNN for example), to broadcast their views more widely, forcing it in the faces of people who would otherwise have the freedom to snub those broadcasts altogether.
This as I see it, is what PN is doing.

You don't have the freedom to snub his broadcasts? So I guess whenever Lou Dobbs came on to CNN, you were forced to watch it?
How often do you ignore his threads and posts, have you ever been to his site or listened to his broadcasts?
You have plenty of choice still. Nothing is being shoved in your face.

It does bother me, sometimes, to log on here and see all 4 topics in RWE be threads started by PN.
Kinda like seeing all 12 topics in the fanfic category used up by a flood from one poster. And we have generally agreed that it's pretty rude to post more than 2 items in a row there.
But there, and here, there's always the " Last 100" list to choose from, and of course, always the option of starting a new thread or posting something yourself to bump him off...

I think Jon Stewart should hire PN as a correspondent. Some of his crap is as funny as anything The Daily Show comes up with.

Not 'altogether', as I said. The only way to ensure that would be to snub the whole fireflyfans site. Otherwise I *am* forced to encounter his tiresome and repulsive threads - I have to wade through them to get to the genuine RWED discussions (the purpose of a RWED forum).
"You have plenty of choice still"
The choice to stomach PN, or snub the site which doesn't effectively provide what many would come here for. It's the choice we all have, and I'll bet a lot of people, especially passing browsers, have opted for the latter.
Heads should roll

Who said anything about making him go elsewhere?
