Agreed.

It probably also required a string and a peg so arcs of various sizes could be quickly defined.

I don't think so. I think some basic strategies could be used to quickly create complex patterns that wouldn't even require sophisticated pegging or GPS mapping.

For example, I think the following might work:

1. Place peg. Flatten field out to radius 100 (the circumference is 624 ft) - this creates the main circle.

2. To create 6 appx. half circle petals which means the radius of each petal is about 52 ft (624/6 is the  diameter)

a. pick any starting point

b. Place a peg and draw the petal of radius 52 ft.

c. Go to the next peg location (3 x 52 ft along the main circumference and use this as the next circumference).

d. Repeat until all 6 petals are drawn.


3. Next layer:

At each point where two of the layer 1 petals meet, draw an arc (radius 40 perhaps) using the  peg and string to connect the outer petals.

Layer 2 is now finished.

4. Add more layers as desired using similar strategies and choosing arc radii to suit.

No GPS is needed for this; One could easily plan this in advance to great detail in choosing the number of petals at each layer and pre-calculating the appropriate arc radii for each layer.

I just used numbers 100, 52, and 40 in this example as rough estimates, but we're only talking about highschool algebra here.

There are hoaxes but the very large and intricate crop cirlces are not manmade. The proof for the real ones is where the stocks are bent as if they had grown sideways, are not broken and continue to grow after. Hoaxers cannot duplicate that.

May I remind everybody about what I wrote in the TT Moderation posting: "Instead, if a poster abuses this privilege, he or she will lose the posting privilege and/or be banned without further warning. The other TT lists are already operating in this mode."
 

The above expression is a clear example of such abuse, and will not be tolerated.
[Nothing wrong with that Dr P was out of line calling Nancy a Jackass, but then Jan spoils it....]
I am not impressed by how the "debunkers" have taken liberty of the fact that TT Watch now runs unmoderated.

[I am not impressed.... But as Jan is already proving with this post the lists are still under "his" moderation.]

It is absolutely not necessary to get into lengthy debates about how crop circles are made every time info about a crop circle is posted, nor is it necessary to comment each and every posting here.
[Lengthy debates? apart from about two I've printed them all, some list. However it is Mike O'Hara and Steve Havas they're debating, and winning I might add.]
The fact that Planet X did not show as predicted in May does not mean that the possibility of a 10th planet has been ruled out once and for all, nor does it explain some of the Earth changes that can be observed around us.

If Nancy wants to discuss with Jason Martell on the Lou Gentile show, I
believe many will find it interesting to hear how such a debate turns out.
There is no need for Michael or anybody else to immediately make negative
comments to such information.

[Did anyone see any negative comments. Surely they were questions regarding the no show of PX. Nancy is advertising her radio appearance after all concerning afore mentioned planet. But notice how Jan see's these questions as negative and none valid.]
More abuse of posting privileges, and some posters will find such privileges
removed.

What about M O'Hara calling me an "a**hole?" I'm not impressed with his behaviour either. I assume your silence on this is because you didn't see it.

>It is absolutely not necessary to get into lengthy debates about how crop circles are made every time info about a crop circle is posted, nor is it necessary to comment each and every posting here.<

This I don't understand. I responded to a crop-circle posting where the assertion was that that since simple tools couldn't produce the result, that the complexity implied alien involvement.

Since I demonstrated that the complexity argument was weak, and that simple tools could easily generate the complex images, the response was appropriate.

Are you now saying that since the crop-circle argument has been responded to, that it is inappropriate for members to post crop-circle announcements in the future? If you are concerned about lengthy debates, then what's the point in members posting more examples of crop-circles when their significance has been discredited? I think the proponents deserve the right to challenge my responses.

On the otherhand, if all you want is a forum where exotic claims and extraordinary assertions can be posted without being challanged, then why allow any discussion at all? Why not be honest about it and state clearly that
you will not tolerate any challanges or discussion that questions any claims, implied or otherwise?

The unmoderated forum generated healthy debate with the exception of one member from each side of the fence getting a little overheated.

There's an unrestricted exchange of ideas and comments. The tt-watch proponents seem capable of handling themselves without requiring a moderator to force (or threaten to force) the "debunkers" to fight with one hand tied behind their backs.


It's as if you're afraid of letting them participate in a fair discussion. If I was one of them, I'd be very irritated at the referee weighing in on my side in my fight.

Just some thoughts.

Doesn't that constitute attacking the messenger rather than the message, along the lines of personal and abusive attacks, or are we seeing yet more "democratic" moderation under the banner of a selective dictate? Is this therefore not "abuse"?

Granted the "debunkers are more verbal but I don't see anything even remotely or as strong as Mike O's remarks. Yet here you are still deciding what everyone should and should not discuss. I thought the groups were unmoderated? If they want to comment, by threatening, you are still effectively moderating, but I notice, only those considered outside the tt-hierarchy. Besides it was the tt-believers, by their challenging remarks that continued the threads. All the debunkers did were point out that man made crop circles can be created with a certain ingenuity and not impossible. Therefore just a possibility. They did not say anyone had to believe them.

As for Nancy... I notice it is alright for certain members, (like you and QueenVee) to denounce her predictions making whatever remarks they feel necessary, but everyone else must refrain from doing the same. What does that actually say to everyone about democracy and dictate? But then I notice you never did say anything about being unbiased or fair in your original posting.

(Also note this is not a personal attack on the messenger but rather the message based on observation of behaviour so far, but by all means feel free to excersise your moderator privlages and prove a point.)

Mike O'Hara has been a long time contributor to the TT lists, and this is the first time I've seen him using such an expression. I can understand that he can get upset over all the unnecessary argument over every single posting here, but I hope he will be more careful in choosing his wording in the future.

Mike didn't mentioned or imply alien involvement, only that it could not be made with boards. Your comment with reference to peg and string was clearly sarcastic, and taken as such.

> Since I demonstrated that the complexity argument was weak, and that simple tools could easily generate the complex images, the response was appropriate.<

I did not see anything demonstrated at all, only the usual argumentative responses.

[Padraighaz explained how such circles could be created by human hands and this to Jan does not constitute a demonstration, but rather an argument? Again his opinion.]
> Are you now saying that since the crop-circle argument has been responded to, that it is inappropriate for members to post crop-circle announcements in the future?<

Crop-circle announcements; definitely not. Arguments about boards, peg and string; yes.
[Ooops that's a dictate and no way unbiased. In other words post it and get banned.]
> If you are concerned about lengthy debates, then what's the point in members posting more examples of crop-circles when their significance has been discredited?<

I have seen no such discrediting, and I believe most people here find cropcircles fascinating. New crop circles are definitely of interest, repeated debates about their origin not.
[Crop circles fascinating but origins are not, once again "his" opinion. (Scores out of ten democracy wise not very good so far.)]

There was no exotic claim except "cannot be made with boards". Any intelligent and decent debate is welcome, but I am personally getting sick and tired of the so called discussions which is nothing but negative, often circular arguments.
[He's sick and tired..... Better and better.]

Oh come now. To read sarcasm into my email, but to be blind to the implications of crop-circle advocates is unfair. While you claim no implication of alien involvement, later in your email you conceed that there was an exotic claim in Mike's letter, and in the context of crop-circles that rapidly points the finger at aliens.
In any event...


> I did not see anything demonstrated at all, only the usual argumentative responses.<

Well, if any response to one of your friends is going to be labelled as "argumentative" then this is trivially true.

As I said, ***I explicitly demonstrated *** how to generate complex patterns using strings to define arcs and how to place them. This was a substantive response.


> Crop-circle announcements; definitely not. Arguments about boards, peg and string; yes.<

Even when they can adequately refute the assertion that simple technology like boards cannot create particular crop-circles?

This is extraordinarily unfair and biased.


> I have seen no such discrediting, and I believe most people here find crop circles fascinating. New crop circles are definitely of interest, repeated debates about their origin not.<

How about letting the members decide for themselves? If they're not interested in hearing reasonable explanations as to their origin, they don't have to respond or comment.

> There was no exotic claim except "cannot be made with boards". <

Agreed. And precisely because it was exotic, it merited attention and consideration and debate.

>Any intelligent and decent debate is welcome, but I am personally getting sick and tired of the so called discussions which is nothing but negative, often circular arguments.<

What was negative and circular concerning my proposed mechanism which demonstrated how using string and boards one could easily recreate the crop-circle pattern?

The thread was:


1. A claim that you can't create a certain crop-circle with boards.

2. I agreed and said that one also needed a string and a peg.

3. I was called an a**hole.

4. I posted a simple method which **demonstrated** how
it could be done.

5. You jump in with warnings about debunkers abusing the list.

Where's the circular argument? Where is the unintelligent debate on my part?


> We have stated clearly the premises of this list, and that those that do not  comply will lose their posting privilege.<

And part of that self-stated mandate is 'discussion.'

Unfortunately, you seem to want to intervene when I raise plausible counter-arguments. I'd be furious with you if you were a skeptic and tried to treat my opponent in a discussion this way. There's a large measure of intellectual dishonesty in pretending that one is participating in a free discussion but then you rely on the 'moderator' to bail you out by threatening to, or actually, blocking responses. The fact that the skeptics are the only ones raising issues with this kind of underhanded behaviour is beginning to reflect on your moderatorship and the integrity of the TT believers in this group.

I can understand that it is your group, and that the believers have a right to whatever opinions they want. But, I think it is unethical, and extremely destructive in an intellectual sense, to claim openness to discussions, but then intentionally (or otherwise) undermine the ability to have such a discussion.


> Where some only contribute negative comments. Why?<

Why? The issue is that you claim to be a moderator of a forum for discussions. But, you intervene to hinder one side so as to protect the other and impose or threaten arbitrary restictions on the side that questions exotic claims and interpretations.

Brian,

Mike O'Hara has been a long time contributor to the TT lists, and this is the first time I've seen him using such an expression. I can understand however that he can get upset over all the unnecessary argument over every single posting here.

This list is not Usenet like sci.astro, where everybody may post whatever they like and there is no way to do anything about it (except for the few tightly controlled, moderated groups). The TT lists are focused on the possible existence of a 10th planet or Planet X, Earth changes and the possibility of a pole shift, alien presence, survival skills etc.

Even though the ZetaTalk prediction for a Planet X passing and pole shift in May 2003 has been proven wrong, it does not mean that the general likelihood of any of these phenomena has decreased. The work of Sitchin,
Velikovsky, Hapgood et al still stands, and the unexplained mysteries of our planet are still as unexplained as before the failed prediction. (And no, yet another thread trying to discredit their work will not be responded to.)

When the lists were partially moderated, we always allowed postings to correct if there were factual errors in the postings, e.g. questionable imaging, claimed rotation slowing etc. Posters like Michael L Cunningham learned the hard way what was tolerated and not. Unfortunately, he seems to revert to the old pre-moderation format as well.

I do not know or understand the intent of all the "debunkers" or protesters here. I do know however that we will take the necessary measures to avoid the lists to become as cluttered with garbage as sci.astro and other Usenet groups. If you want to stay here, I would suggest you avoid all your personal attacks as last time you were a member of this list, and try to stick with the premise of the list instead.

So Mike's involvement within the tt-hierarchy has nothing to do with it either I suppose? (I seem to remember Sol was a long time contributor too, yet it didn't stop Nancy or the majority of the TT-Inc from destroy his character.)

As the membership cannot even review what was edited, or your reasons for moderation and banning I guess they'll never know what was allowed and what was not, so that statement is once again based on your judgement, but for which everyone must take your word as they did and do with Nancy.

Despite your personal feelings that I attack the messenger and not the message I have never degraded anyone's belief in anything.

Jan you're talking to me, Brian. I know you remember. We've crossed swords and you've made my postings "disappear." You can make all the excuses you want for the "viewing public" but I know what I wrote so can judge the fairness of your moderation and I've talked to many, many more who you've done the same with. You also put me on a permanent ban without ever telling anyone within the membership what it was I was supposed to have done, except some rubbish about attacking the messenger instead of the message. What you really didn't like was anyone questioning you or Nancy and those who did were quickly weeded out, so you made it personal Jan, with many people.

Personal attacks? Show me one example from the archives where I attacked any member of these groups? They're all still there. You keep stating this as if its fact, so prove it. Show me up to the "viewing public" as the dastardly swine I really am. But you won't though will you. Everyone must take your word for it and bugger the TRUTH. (Which is what all this is about really.) Although I can quote many instances where you and the INC have attacked and abused on a personal level, they're in the archives and on my web site for all to see.

Despite what you think this is not a personal issue. Stand down as sole moderator and I'll discuss the same with anyone who issues a dictate calling it a democracy. I can't help it if you're the only one available who's pulling the strings. You're problem is you see everything as personal which was my original argument and why you should never have been allowed to come over from the INC as tt-moderator after the rigged "vote call" and I was never alone in that sentiment. But hey, don't let that stop you. If you want to see this as personal then that's "YOUR" opinion and my point exactly.

> PS. I would also recommend a small investment in a spell checker.<

I wrote it on the fly direct from the web site, so no spell checker, well if its good enough for Nancy its good enough for me.

It's been nice chewing the fat after all this time, but enough said already or I'll probably find myself banned again on this new "unmoderated" group.

[Referring back to the spell checker Jan is obviously having a personal dig something he's just accused me of.]

So what do you think? Free and open discussion or closed-minded dictate? You be the ultimate judge. (Anyone care to bet how long before the banning begins?)
