I would also like to chime on BF's behavior as someone who did not know about him prior to his thread here. I have been a poster here since November of 2006, and have been fairly active.
I opened my discussion with BF because he seemed to have some interesting things to talk about. I thought his ideas were flawed and incorrect, but he seemed open to discussion. We ended up talking about mathematical concepts for a while here. He made some statements he later dodged around, and had some interesting misconceptions about elements of basic number theory that were at least fun to talk about, if nothing else.
However, Googling his posting history revealed a long string of the same thing. He pops into a forum, spams out stuff about OS 012, pretends to discuss it, modifies nothing, acknowledges nothing, claims OS 012 is perfect and superior to everything, claims he is always right, claims he has won, and moves on.
He admits to developing this stupid thing as an internet meme, and appears to be focused on moving OS 012 around the internet, rather than actually hashing out elements of the system itself. I think several posters here have made convincing, logical, well reasoned arguments against several things BF has said, but he just kind of blows it off.
Learning about his behavior on other forums, and seeing his silly behavior towards other posters (not me though, probably because I tried very hard to be polite towards him) was kind of a kick in the nuts.
I like to debate people, even people with insane ideas, if they're actually open to civilized debate. BF seemed to be more about trolling message boards and being a jerk to people who weren't nice to him or disagreed with him about certain things. Eff that noise.
