Well, I think it's kind of unfortunate that Stephen resorts to these
behaviors. We had once a disagreement on a subject he wasn't well
informed in (see Misunderstanding of Computability thread on sci.math),
as a matter of fact he seemed to catch up with the subject several
years later (and I was glad to see that), but perhaps he is too young
or aggravated to understand that disagreements are part of every
discussion. Too bad he's got a personal grudge, I did find some of his
posts on the mark.

On the other hand, I would like to ask the mods on talk.origins: how do
you let this kind of abuse pass through? Likes of James Harris and Glen
Sizemore keep swearing on sci.math and comp.ai.philosophy, but I think
it's not good that such infantile behavior as Stephen Harris's is
permitted on a moderated newsgroup.
