Just so I understand, could you link to or give the post number where Kamarling said this:
someone Wrote:I'm not sure what he hoped to achieve, but the focus of the forum is exactly as it was, and is not dissimilar to this forum! I mean, I was staggered when people here seemed to be in favour of exploring conspiracy theories - exactly what seemed to upset a lot of you on the old forum. Conspiracies often involve politics - which seemed to have become another flashpoint on SKEPTIKO.

this post it is part of the quote, apparently from Kamarling(?) but its original source isn't obvious to me.

Thanks, Typoz - yes, that's the bit that wasn't me.

Turns out that they don't allow woo mongers to post - all they do in that section is sneer. I was banned immediately and without explanation - my first and only post. I would hate to think that we would be so trigger happy. There was a time when Skeptiko was more tolerant too.
What on Earth did you do? Call Einstein a poser?

It was a long time ago and I can't remember the exact details, just how shocked I was at the knee-jerk response. I remember thinking that I was disappointed about that kind of treatment on a physics forum though I might have expected it on a biology forum.
Anyhow, if memory serves, I think I asked about fine tuning in the universe and whether it suggested design. Looking back, I should have known better than to ask that question there. People who claim to just "fucking love science" seem to be remarkably closed minded.

An update: we now have proof (which I won't document publicly) that the culprit behind all of these socks
is Oliver D. Smith. You can read more about this person and his history on this archived Encyclopedia Dramatica page:
Oliver D. Smith Brothers. You can read about how the Encyclopedia Dramatica editors connected various pseudonyms to Oliver on this archived
Connecting the dots page.

I can't count the number of impersonations - and the results of them - that have occurred.
It hearts my feewings, yes it does. 
This fits with the fact that Oliver in his "Leuders" incarnation was very keen to pin all of his sock-puppets on you - not only did he claim publicly (in a post which Ian sensibly deleted) that you were the culprit, and not only did he PM moderators to this effect, but we have heard from non-admin members that he PMed them about this too.
Too, Oliver's persecution of Rome Viharo continues, and it is now clear that Oliver is the individual who created the hit-piece RationalWiki article on Rome. Rome has recently been vlogging about this and the general RationalWiki/Wikipedia skeptic crowd. I might start a new thread about this.

What a deeply sad life that person must lead.

Mental illness can be very isolating. I find it hard but I know I should despise what he does and feel sorry for the individual. Sad
