Deathstranger and Godfearingatheist suspended.
They appear to be the same person posting under multiple registrations. In addition neither seems to be able to take direction. They can have their permissions restored by emailing Percy and explaining their behavior.

Randman out of the science forums for a bit
It is becoming increasingly clear that Randman is not about to suffer the pain of actually learning something. He is a bit single minded and not contributing to furtherence of the debate.
I will be away a lot in the next week so I hope someone else watchs over him.
I've suspended RM from the science fora.

An oversight : Randman out of the science forums for a bit
Since RM wants to propose science based net topics I've removed his access to the PNT too. They will be interesting when we can release them and discuss them.
I predict that his "defense" of them will only get him removed from the science side again. This is obvious since he demonstrates his reading problem with both of the articles he has linked to. Though the discussion by others who can deal with the nuances should be interesting.

Randman Restored
For now, RM has his full privileges.
He should understand that his past behaviour will result in longer suspensions if continued.

Randman Removed from "Is It Science?"
This is an indefinite suspension. Others my choose to restore at some point. I'm convinced that RM isn't worth the effort that has been expended.

Omnivorous suspended indefinitely
I'm not going to bother linking Omnivorous' post.
Omnivirous needs to petition to Admin via email to explain himself/herself and why s/he should be allowed back in here.
For the moment, I'm not of the mind right now what level of suspension is appropriate. Only that Omnivorous' thought process and behavior have no place here.

crashfrog's suspension modified.
After discussions with other Admins the consensus is that an indefinite suspension is over reacting. I agree with that assesment.
The moderators were very concerned about Crash's willful inaccuracy, and that it represents just the style of debate that we try to discourage here. Crash is perfectly free to provide his interpretation of the statement from FEMA but only pulling a small portion out of it without providing the balance is simply quote mining.
Crashfrog's posting privileges will be restored.

Omnivorous' permissions restored
Welcome back, Omnivorous!
First, I'd like to emphasize that personal attacks on other posts, especially done in a premeditated fashion, is not something that is going to be treated lightly.
Second, I'd like to make sure everybody understands that those who know better (as well as those who should know better) will always be judged more harshly than those who are less experienced and do not know better.

Now, with that said, watching quality poster after quality poster get suspended is not what we want to see here. The admins as a group have seen that interaction with some posters has consistently been difficult and has consistently led to behavior resulting in suspensions, and we find this to be a real problem.
While reviewing Omnivorous' suspension as a group, we took the time to discuss practical ways to deal with this other problem as well. We looked at solutions which can be implemented in the short-term (i.e. require no software updates), and we also looked at general board features for the future which can help avoid (emphasizing help) this type of recurring issue.
I believe Percy will be moving forward on this in the very near future. In the meantime, I wanted to make sure those who expressed concern about the underlying roots of Omnivorous' behavior know that the moderators share your concern, and we're actively working on it. I'll leave it up to Percy to provide details and implementations as his time permits.

As always, please follow the appropriate links below to express your concerns. And once again, a hearty "welcome back" to Omnivorous.

He is but the latest reincarnation of Death Stranger and Godfearingatheist. His posts are simply incoherent.
