I really don't want us to go there, here; I think it will reduce the quality of the site significantly. At the moment I can follow Recent Comments and find quite a few little nuggets of gold. If we get into arguing with people like this, the good content will be harder to find.

I strongly agree with this.

From his own website repeatedly linked here:

The Rational Model of Complex Mechanisms asserts that the universe exists within God. The Model asserts the Theory of relativity is wrong, and that nature of the universe encapsulated by E=MC2 is found not in plastic time but instead in the frequency of GodSong - The Speed Of Light Squared - C2 .

This is not the kind of "nugget of gold" that we want to see on here, I would think.

We've actually done remarkably well - "rationality" is generally a banner to which every green-ink vendor rallies, but I think this is our first full-on green-ink contributor.
