Well, sinceI am the only one who ever posts anything interesting and well evidenced that departs from the typical ad hominems produced by the rest of you, I have very good reason for thinking it is my input that keeps the board lively. Nay, too, plays his part. The rest of you are all terribly defensive! Defensive? Why would you say that? We are not defensive. Never have been. Nothing to be defensive about! I can't believe anyone would think that. What Jean and Pippa and I get up to sometimes (but not all the time) is none of anyone's business. Anyway whatever it is that you think we do, we only did it the once and no animals were hurt. (much). So no, you can't lay that one on us. No way! Never! Defensive indeed!

Until a month or so ago I used to post about ten items per day. Nobody much replied to you even then though, did they? The bulk of the posts were just Nick throwing insults at alancalverd, who eventually realised that he (Nick, that is) didn't know nearly as much as he was claiming to, and got fed up replying. I've just been for a look and it is a shame that the experiment seems to have failed.

...your little ***, pippop... Any idea what those three asterisks stand for, pippop? I can't work it out at all.

Yes, I haven't been posting on the Science Board as often as usual lately! Until a month or so ago I used to post about ten items per day. Proves my point. I'm the one who makes the running, jean, not you and certainly not your little ***, pippop. Whatever happened to "visitor", by the way, your mole in the defense establishment? Trans. pal.

I imagine you believe this since you have chosen to make it your signature, pippa. Would you care to explain precisely WHO is keeping you and me obedient and passive and precisely HOW? Or is the internet just one big plot, the same internet, actually, that permits your fav whistleblowers to spread the truth? C'mon! You don't want us to think you are paranoid, do you? i may be paranoid but it doesn't mean they're not out to get me... but you want me to explain it to you marchesa? i would have thought it would speak to you as it does to me and i choose it as my signature because it fits with so many different aspects of life in so many ways be it restrictions placed on us by governments and authority figures or those who just which to dominate - out there as well as in the home. and my immediate thought is closer to home on these boards which a a good example imv. what is allowed what's tollerated and considered acceptable opinion. why, just yesterday i noticed a certain someone (wont mention any names) likening another posters views to those of Nick Griffin. an attempt to silence and set the paramaters of what's 'commonly accepted opinion' if ever there was one. and were you not the robust individual you are you would have been shut up and sent packing many moons ago way back to the beeb days. your views don't fit marchesa with the status quo on message boards. although to save themselves from the endless resulting boredom where everyone agrees with each other, a little bit of dissension and debate within the restricted spectrum must be tolerated within the ranks (debate within the restricted spectrum). how many times you've been banned, yet because of your tenacity you found a way back in and still, here you are to this day banging your individual drum despite the mountain of shit that has been heaped upon you along the way. all the attempts to discredit you yet you're still here. just as well you revel in it - a rare thing marchesa. most are sent packing. of course we have rare individuals, the whistle blowers and non conformists who are prepared to stick their neck out no matter what. without the whistleblowers and truth seekers who risk their lives, livlihoods and freedom, we'll just carry on accepting the restrictions placed upon us and swallow what's dished out to us from those who wish to control. thankfully there's a whiff of awakening out there in the world but i wont hold my breath. edit: i should clarify that it would fair a enough accusation had the aforementioned posters views actually echoed those of Nick Griffin but of course they do not. Trans. If I write enough words then hopefully you will not notice that I have not answered your question.

It could be that the function of the Science board is mainly to provide access to thought provoking scientific research and observational data rather than the opportunity for the ARGUMENTATION that so characterises THIS board? I'm glad Nick and Mr Calverd have stopped their self-indulgent, juvenile squabbling.
Does this help? (as they say)
It may have escaped your notice that of all the people posting on this board and on the Science board I am the one who provides access to the data, tables and graphs etc which illuminate the debates.
You lot, are happy, apparently, to take The Guardian's Environment page and the BBC as gospel! I'm not.

I am sure that Joanne won't mind you asking what she had in mind when she set up the board for you. Could you let us know what Joanne says in her reply?

But when Nick is squabbling here with me, I note that he qualifies as a good faith poster./However that may be, now that he and alan aren't squabbling over there, nobody is posting at all however much access to thought provoking scientific research and observational data you provide. So at least it's not all my fault.

I'm sure squabbling does not preclude the possibility that it is also in good faith. And Nick and Mr Calverd DO discuss sciency stuff, though it is all quite beyond me and I never read their long drawn out arguments.
I just can't bear your style of interminable linguistic nit-picking, jean.
Substantive contributions about anything, whether they are perfectly expressed or not, are far more interesting to most folks than your kind of perpetual attempts to undermine or to pretend that someone said or meant something different from what they did or that something they say today contradicts what they said three months ago.
No-one learns anything from that sort of exercise, jean. You may be entertained by it, but I doubt if that effect is mutual. It amounts to a sort of browbeating and I'm sure it turns the lurkers off.
However, if that;s what turns you on..........

It is strange but true that boards which the marchesa and I are both members of have very few active posters indeed.
I am aware of one board the marchesa is a member of and I'm not, and apart from the marchesa's, the only post it's had for days has been from Nay wanting to talk about racism.
By contrast, the board I post on most often, of which the marchesa is not a member, is a happy thriving place with dozens of posts every day.
I leave readers to draw their own conclusions.

I've just been for a look and it is a shame that the experiment seems to have failed. Hi, d'you have a link for the Science board the Law & Order twins set up? I assume that it's dust, as are most of the R4 alternatives that sprouted up as the BBC message boards were culled? My own Feedback forum still exists (not so much a replacement as an addition that the Radio 4 programme never had, and maybe it's lack of use proves that was a wise, or just pragmatic decision). As it's been ten years since I posted the thread about new boards, this might be a good time to see which have survived. Precious few, it seems*. radiofeedback.proboards.com/thread/9/alternative-r4-boardsThe only one still working seems to be the one I didn't list for some reason, is pointsofviewtoo.freeforums.net/, which, while searching for news of the Science board, I found myself deleted from, having not posted for about three years. Good thing this board hasn't adopted the same standard, right? Anyone else know of any online colonies I missed? *The Forradio board is there, and last used in 2015, but I can't log in to it, however much I try.
