Regarding some recent requests to have me quarantined. Can I just point out, I already am and I almost exclusively stick to "Holocaust Debate For more adversarial interactions" and cannot access "Holocaust Research & Discussion A revisionist safe space". Occasionally, like now, I post elsewhere, for good reason.
If people are unhappy with my posting, they can ignore the adversarial section and retreat to the safe space. Better that, than taking a post off topic with complaints and abuse.
Quarantining
Re: Quarantining
FYI you were one of the two problem posters who inspired that creation of the Quarantine subforum.
We need to enhance the quality on the Debate board. Far too many of threads there go on for many pages, often with very little being added to the discussion. CJ and Keen were both problems. You have also been part of the problem. You will need to step up your game if you want to continue participating on the Debate board.
Please reread the forum rules and posting guidelines. Here are some specific areas where you need to improve.
"The Holocaust is true because it is evidenced."
"Revisionists are wrong because they do not understand evidencing."
Statements like the above are too vague and add nothing to the discussion. They communicate nothing more than disagreement. If you have evidence, don't talk about having evidence. Just show it to us.

This is a big one. You are high volume and low substance.Maintain a high signal to noise ratio, i.e., make sure your posts are informative and that they make a meaningful addition to the discussion. High noise posting is especially unwelcome on the Debate board.
Your arguments are so generic and so circular that many of your arguments are effectively just unsupported disagreement.Refrain from unsupported disagreement. This means that if you disagree with something or think it is incorrect, you must explain why you disagree or show why it's incorrect. A mere expression of disapproval is not sufficient.

You obviously do not observe the above in any way.Observe the principle of charity. "In philosophy and rhetoric, the principle of charity or charitable interpretation requires interpreting a speaker's statements in the most rational way possible and, in the case of any argument, considering its best, strongest possible interpretation. In its narrowest sense, the goal of this methodological principle is to avoid attributing irrationality, logical fallacies, or falsehoods to the others' statements, when a coherent, rational interpretation of the statements is available." ("Principle of charity," Wikipedia)
You have a tendency to make sweeping claims (e.g., 100% of the witnesses ...) without proper support or sourcing."No Dodging" If you make a controversial claim without support, others have the right to request support. You must respond in some fashion, either by explaining your basis for the claim (whatever it may be) or by conceding that support is lacking. All posters need not agree on whether the support provided is convincing, but outright refusal to respond will be considered "dodging." Citing overly vague support (like a lengthy source with no explanation) may also be considered non-responsive. You are only obligated to respond to demands regarding claims you yourself have made.
