The Bored has repeatedly said over the years that it can do whatever it wants, so I urge it to act now. I could cite rules PR has broken, but that's not really the point. This forum is dedicated to technical and scientific discussion, and PR systematically and intentionally undermines any attempts at scientific and technical discussion. She is destroying the forum. Read through any of the threads she participates in and you'll see what I mean. She makes absurd statements that violate all known principles of science and then, when questioned, claims that the questioner is ignorant and uninformed.For what it's worth--I don't expect this to make a big difference in the Bored's decision--I will stop participating in this forum if Posy is allowed to continue. There are plenty of places where the likes or PR can roam free. This should not be one of them. It's not fun anymore.
To all those who agree with me (and I know there are a lot of you) I encourage you NOT to reply to any of PR's posts. If the Bored won't ban him/her/it--and I'm hopeful that they will--we can at least do damage control and, as I said below, maybe he/she/it will get bored (no pun intended) and go away.
Thanks to the Bored for considering my proposal.Jim Austin
