Is Turbo baiting
Yes he is. But as admin i need to know when rules need adjusting for particular members and situations. In this case i haven't banned him because, in some people's eyes, it would give credibility to his claims, because they believe im trying to censor any hg. Of course its rubbish, but I've allowed the charade to continue to give members time to see everything for what it is. The balance of free speech and deciding when enough bs is enough is delicate.
Let us please stop this madness. As if this is going to be heard
Its not so simple. What happens if harmful and misleading bs is left unchallenged? It does more harm. Its only natural the are two sides of the argument. What if I'm incorrect about turbo? I need to consider it a possibility too. But the problem here is members against turbo give logic, math and examples. All turbo gives is vague information, he clearly avoids important matters, makes contradictions, and some of claims are really absurd without logic. And the whole thing goes in circles. Turbo has no ammunition for his arguments. The best he has is results on clearly unrealistic games with play money, there the are lots of other winners too. The related math is clear, not opinion. But he really holds onto it and denies it. Why not acknowledge it? Why fight so hard?
There's much more, but basically i try to maintain a fair balance as admin, but without bias i can say all information is overwhelming stacked against turbo, and i believe he has just wasted everyone's time.
At this stage im relying on at least the majority of members to wake up for themselves. Remember if i just ban him, some really dumb people will think I'm threatened by him. The important part is it will end up misleading more people. It happened before when i banned another self professed guru. They started their own forum, just for the disciples. It's a dead forum as the disciples learned better, but it took longer for them to learn, because nobody with logic was around to beat sense into them.
And to make it clear, if i only cared about a busy forum I'd shut my mouth and let ignorant discussion run rampant. I much prefer a less busy forum thats not full of shit. So as any experienced member, i say it how it is. It pisses some people off, and some leave, but too bad. Truth is truth. Besides, members with backbone are more productive and it makes a better forum. Again it comes back to balance with free speech, but knowing when to draw the line.
