Deleting Threads

Yesterday's thread by TheTechAdmin:confused2:

And . . . ?

One of the mods might send him a quick email to explain.
When it comes down to it, here on TRF we do seem to have some quirky things happen. This guy is new to TRF; if he is also new to forums (in general) and forum operations, he may well be perplexed as to where all those posts went. A quick note from the right place might help him immensely to figure out what just happened?

I am the moderator that pulled the thread and I sent an PM to the initiator.

The remote cell phone igniter that he mentioned is the same circuit that terrorists use to set off IEDs in Iraq and Afganistan.

The thread was pulled because the first post was inappriopriate and the content of the thread deteriorated quickly thereafter.

Didn't he also say he likes to make his own IEDs?

 

[bobkrech]

Yes he did. I am currently running a background check on him. I believe he is either a troll or a kid. If I find anything different, I'll drop a dime.

ahhh, thanks. I was wondering what was up with the deletion but after what he studied I'd bet he's no kid. That long-hair math is waaay over my head. I can do formulas where you plug in the numbers but I'm the guy it took 2 years to get through Algebra 1

Oh gee, building IEDs as payloads and using a cell phone based launch system is not a suitable discussion topic?


The horror....

"The FORCE (of sarcasm) is strong with this one...."

I was equally disturbed by the fact that although this poster was politely told twice that his topic was taboo on this forum, he not only continued, but began to criticise those who suggested he move on.

Thanks for pulling this one.

Without taking any definable position ...

The issue reminds me of my very favorite _Dimension X_ radio program, "A Logic Named Joe" from a short story by Murray Leinster.

The story, which pretty squarely predicts the internet from a point in time before 1950, involves a personal computer that tells a kid how to make blow gun dart poison. It also tells people how to commit the perfect murder. Great fun.
