I wouldn't bother. Why give him publicity? He's the first person to say we aren't affiliated.

Yes, but not everyone knows that. Eric Dubay even has an account here. People could get confused because his forum is relatively hard to find.

Really, he's not that big a deal. If anyone asks, we can tell them. Better than a sticky advert for Flat Eric that lives here for eternity.

Hell hath no fury like a Thork scorned.

But you have a point.

No kidding. What is his forum? Haven't found it... haven't really tried that hard though.

Perhaps a posted warning about the racism on Eric DuBay's website would be jumping the gun considering that his forum is still in its infancy. Although I must say it's an excellent idea and a prudent possibility to bear in mind if it were warranted in the future.

Why should we care about disassociating ourselves from someone's racist views?  Thork has already done an excellent job of implying we're racist on Twitter:

At least Daniel didn't merge first and then give away the forum.

600 tweets and a hypothetical analogy to show how the BBC is selective over the science it airs is the best example of racism you can come up with?

Its easier than that. If his site ever does become more than a cell in a hive of spam websites, you can rate the site and flag racism as a concern of yours.

That particular director of programming made out that all science was treated equally and that no science would be side lined. I gave an example where political persuasion would force selectivity in science. Much as we experience with things like climate change and flat earth theory.

Yeah, but we don't want to go around publicly implying that we believe some races (by which I assume you mean white europeans) are smarter than others. We havr a bad enough image problem without people thinking we're all racists.

Yeah, you used the word assume.

I didn't make any racist comment at all. Just mentioned a branch of science that won't ever be explored by state media. You can stop bunching your knickers. It was over a month ago.

As I previously suggested on IRC, if you'd like to make a complaint about Thork's work on Twitter, please do so in S&C. Personally, I see no reason to investigate unless someone makes a case for it and gathers some, at least anecdotal, support.

I don't want to oust Thork or anything.  That exchange irritated me a little, but aside from that, he's doing a good job.

Yeah, Thork's doing great. Our twitter account is awesome. But he's still Thork, and I feel that I have the right to complain that he's terrible. Just terrible.
