On the morning of 3 June 2009, while attempting to move an inappropriate, off-topic post to the discarded posts forum (a taunt directed at Mr. Van Arsdale), this entire message thread was accidentally deleted. It has been restored from the most recent available backup (dated 25 May 2009). Several posts to this message thread since that date were regrettably lost, and we have attempted to reconstruct them below.
On 26 May, we had posted the following (recovered from Google's cache of this message thread):
Quote:AntiPolygraph.org has reason to believe that recent posts in the message thread
"Why do I have to do anything" by
David Hume (the thread starter, purporting to be a curious newcomer to this site),
Kim Jong Il (questioning why David Hume was banned), and
S Price (bemoaning AntiPolygraph.org's moderation policy) are all the handiwork of E.B. Van Arsdale.
Those who may be in the market for polygraph services (an unwise way to spend your money, considering that polygraph "testing" has
no scientific basis), may wish to carefully consider whether they are willing to trust a man with the immaturity and insincerity that Mr. Van Arsdale has repeatedly displayed on these forums to render judgment on any matter where the truth is important.
The following posts have been re-constructed from an RSS aggregator cache. On Monday, 1 June 2009, we posted:
Quote:AntiPolygraph.org has reason to believe that Ponca City, Oklahoma polygraph operator E.B. Van Arsdale has returned to these forums under yet a new moniker:
"Shigatsu." This account has been banned.
Mr. Van Arsdale, enough with these antics. If you are at long last willing to participate in a meaningful, civil discussion of polygraph matters, then you may re-register here under your real name. If not, then please cease and desist from trolling these forums.

Are you an idiot? I am not this Van Arsdale person so why did you ban me? Did i say something wrong? What kind of forum are you running here accusing people of being somebody they are not? Also if I was this Van Arsdale why would I have to use my real name? Lots of people use false names here. What do you have against Van Arsdale anyway?

Regrettably, it seems that with this post, you are confirming that you are still not interested in a serious discussion of polygraph matters.
