Hi Noyade,
Yes the thread was good for a long while, until it became obvious that the Pro- Voisin O.P. didn't really have much of substance to support his allegations and then the discussion just wallowed. I think what must have been the final straw for the mods was when a rather nasty and unjustified attack was launched on Tom Crouch, which could have headed in a direction towards possible legal consequences.
On the Tom Crouch side, I see we have carrolfgray ( presumably the same from huffington scientific) joining us.
If you have the time Carrol, in addition to the current, you might like to plow through the rest of this old thread :

Hopefully you will see that most ppruners on this forum are capable of reasoned, constructive and convivial debate.
