Sure - when the big G doesn't promote ideas which violate the laws of
physics...

We try, but Evans and his chums usually jump in and ruin the thread.

There are moderated groups where he can't get up to his tricks.

You've seen his false attempts at technical threads, they are no more
than vehicles for abuse, as you've seen.

Brian,

Actually, I do think they are attempts of technical threads, within his
limited capacity of understanding. But they quickly result in abusive
responses when his fallacies are pointed out.

So why do the rest of you have to act like children as well? Why not
just ignore him? I seem to recall that you have stated that you take
pleasure in jousting with him. Or do I have you mixed up with someone
else?

The bottom line is that by arguing with him endlessly it ruins the group
for everyone else every bit as much as he does, if not more. If it were
just him he would be easy to ignore. The topics he brings up could be
discussed without all the back and forth banter.

Just treat him as if he were the devil incarnate and refuse to even look
his way much less mention his name!

You have me mixed up with someone else.

But then why do YOU keep these threads going?

Watching from the sidelines I see the insults flying in all directions.

If someone has made an error there are good ways and bad ways of pointing
that out as any parent will know. What we normally see here is the bad
way which usually involves attacking the person rather than the idea.

His understanding is certainly limited, there is other evidence to support
that, but as for attempts at
improving understanding, why does recycle the same topics again and again?
Some have been around the block several times, even though they have been
explained. He makes no attempt to digest the responses he receives, beyond
twisting highlights to further his barrage of abuse. Why is this obvious?
Well, he rubbishes perfectly valid answers and even, on occasions, goes on
to rewrite history as if he has 'found a book' which explains things.

The question is, why?

Do a search for Westinghouse in the archive of uk.railway


I really think that Rick's advice is best, although I wouldn't go as far
as to "treat him as if he were the devil incarnate and refuse to even
look his way much less mention his name". He has, on the odd occasion,
some very valid points to make.

However, you have to be careful, as this is sometimes just a ploy
(conscious or otherwise) to draw you into what you think is a normal,
civilised discussion, and it rapidly turns out not to be. The important
thing is not prolong pointless arguments, otherwise you risk getting
tarred with the same brush.
