What the hell are you accusing me of ( in two different posts you've made - making the same accusation http://habitablezone.com/community/messages/517726.html and http://habitablezone.com/community/messages/517726.html )

There's ONE person on this thread who's said something positive about the forum I run (actually two, one is EP and I have no idea who the other one 'Mike' is). I have not nor would I ever send 'shills' to offer praise for any other forum, let alone my own. What possible benefit would that be in this discussion?

This is a discussion about the contribution of EP to this board, the lies and insults he posts, and near total lack of moderation of it - moderation that would befall anyone else making a similar contribution.

I have never pimped my forum, and I'm not about to start. I have no idea who you think these 'shills' are, I have no idea how you came to the conclusion that I in some way 'sent' them, and I have no idea how you came to the conclusion that that is something I would even consider trying to do.

Without the input of EP, THZ manages to be both low-moderation and fairly high SNR - something unique amongst forums in this field. If someone is going off topic on my board, there are four places I send them. Bautforum if it's conspiratorial, Here if it's fairly ordinary, NSF if it's manned, or marsroverblog if it's a bit crazy.
