Most recent journal of the khallow. I have had some sympathy due to his response to a nostyle journal. But now it looks as if, perhaps, he has gone off the UFO fringe? Can Runaway be far behind? As long as he gets to keep some guns, which as everyone knows, are really effective against alien raygun technology.

First, they came for aristarchus. Then, they mod-banned aristarchus. And then, they banned aristarchus. Subsequently, they perma-banned aristarchus. And finally, they have Spam mod banned aristarchus. SoylentNews killed the Open Internet. ICANN and Netcraft confirm it.

sarcasm The moon landing was a hoax. The earth is flat, and it's turtles all the way down. Anyone who sails or flies off the edge of the flat earth is lost forever! Avoid those newfangled aereoplanes like the plague! And, be careful where you send your kids to school. They actually want us to believe that the earth revolves around the sun, when any idiot can look up to see the sun revolves around the flat earth! /sarcasm

Runaway, like janrinok, also cannot do sarcasm, since it is nearly indistinguishable from his normal ranting! Makes me wonder, are they the same person? But then it begs the question of whether janrinok is Runaway1956's sockpuppet, or is it the other way around? Or are they both like rolled up inside of each other like a Klein bottle sock orgy? Eww, sorry for that image. But inquiring minds want to know!

Yeah, like that would solve the metaphysical problem of the "not falling down" into the posited absolute abyss of Stoacism! It is a rather large theoretical gap, requiring large entities, like massive Elephants, or even larger Tortorises. Geometry of said beings is the least of your problems. Not to mention, Runaway1956 is an ignorant moron, and it is illegal under Arkansas law for him to even mention theories like this.

It amazes me that so many allegedly “educated” people have fallen so quickly and so hard for a fraudulent fabrication of such laughable proportions. The very idea that a gigantic ball of rock happens to orbit our planet, showing itself in neat, four-week cycles — with the same side facing us all the time — is ludicrous. Furthermore, it is an insult to common sense and a damnable affront to intellectual honesty and integrity. That people actually believe it is evidence that the liberals have wrested the last vestiges of control of our public school system from decent, God-fearing Americans (as if any further evidence was needed! Daddy’s Roommate? God Almighty!)
Documentaries such as Enemy of the State have accurately portrayed the elaborate, byzantine network of surveillance satellites that the liberals have sent into space to spy on law-abiding Americans. Equipped with technology developed by Handgun Control, Inc., these satellites have the ability to detect firearms from hundreds of kilometers up. That’s right, neighbors .. the next time you’re out in the backyard exercising your Second Amendment rights, the liberals will see it! These satellites are sensitive enough to tell the difference between a Colt .45 and a .38 Special! And when they detect you with a firearm, their computers cross-reference the address to figure out your name, and then an enormous database housed at Berkeley is updated with information about you.
Of course, this all works fine during the day, but what about at night? Even the liberals can’t control the rotation of the Earth to prevent nightfall from setting in (only Joshua was able to ask for that particular favor!) That’s where the “moon” comes in. Powered by nuclear reactors, the “moon” is nothing more than an enormous balloon, emitting trillions of candlepower of gun-revealing light. Piloted by key members of the liberal community, the “moon” is strategically moved across the country, pointing out those who dare to make use of their God-given rights at night!
Yes, I know this probably sounds paranoid and preposterous, but consider this. Despite what the revisionist historians tell you, there is no mention of the “moon” anywhere in literature or historical documents — anywhere — before 1950. That is when it was initially launched. When President Josef Kennedy, at the State of the Union address, proclaimed “We choose to go to the moon”, he may as well have said “We choose to go to the weather balloon.” The subsequent faking of a “moon” landing on national TV was the first step in a long history of the erosion of our constitutional rights by leftists in this country. No longer can we hide from our government when the sun goes down.

Why do you mention TMB?
If you look at the link I provided it points to a Meta released by Martyb who was the senior manager at the time. It was agreed by the administration by agreement after a discussion. It was necessary because of the disruption to the site being caused by a handful of community members which eventually also resulted with ACs being prevented from commenting in the front page stories.
