I've had ruder. Even in this, he failed.
I can't say I'm surprised; from the outset it was a case of when rather than if he was going to get himself banned.

Charles has just had a melt-down on Robert Black's blog, resulting in the good professor declaring that if he ever finds another post from him on his blog he'll delete it.
He also declared he didn't intend to suicide by mod here, and blamed me both for dragging him here and getting him banned. Considering he joined of his own free will to promote his theory, and I only started this thread to stop him derailing a different one, and that I begged him to behave several times for fear he was heading for a ban, it's all a bit rich.
Anyone with a taste for car crashes can follow the events starting about here. (You'll have to follow it on to page 2 of the comments.) I note Charles has remarked that he can always come back here by registering under a different name. When I explained to him that sock puppets weren't permitted, he accused me of being a sock puppet of a CIA agent!
This is actually a bit surreal. On one hand we have Charles, maybe not a typical twoofer (he seems to be over 60, and to have lost a brother in a terrorist attack), but very typical tactics - crackpot theory based entirely on his imagination, flatly contradicted by a number of easily-verifiable facts, and he's completely deaf to any counter-arguments. Uses rudeness and name-calling to deflect rational questioning.
And then there's Bunntamas, in the blue corner. Also espouses a very unlikely explanation, also has bugger-all in the way of evidence for his point of view, and also completely deaf to counter-arguments. He's actually less prepared to address the evidence and facts and reason than Charles is, and is also rather prone to name-calling and shouting.
Except - Bunntamas is a proponent of the Official Version.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Everyone knows you're a sock puppet of an MI-6 agent.
To expand on something you wrote up-thread, if we could figure out a way to bring the two of them together in a slow, controlled manner, we might be able to solve the world's energy crisis.

I wonder if Charles is also a 9/11 twoofer? There's a certain horrid similarity between his assertions that the CIA blew up PA103, and many of the foam-flecked rants in the 9/11 section.

What an odd, strange meltdown but of course it's everyone's fault but his. Rolfe forced him to register at JREF then started a thread for him then Lisa misunderstood him and refused to help and finally banned him.
Such is the fate of geniuses, whizzes and woos.
