I was banned for the 5th time at polygraphplace.com forums. a false positive person was asking why the test doesnt work. one of the usual contributors replied that it is scientifically proven. I then replied that it isnt proven at all, that studies exist that can support either side and that people are likely to hold opinions based on their personal experiences, positive or negative. Since I mentioned my negative experience, I was banned.
I haven't visited that site yet. I'll have to do that soon though, sounds like fun! ;D
make it #6. This time i posted a link to a scholarly article by Univerty of Minnesota prof William G Iacono.
maybe my user name "Not Bill Crider" didnt win me any fans though.
Bill,
By censoring their forum, the operators of PolygraphPlace.com demonstrate that they lack confidence in their ability to prevail in an uncensored debate of polygraphy. I note that they have locked the message thread in which you posted (http://www.polygraphplace.com/ubb/NonCGI/Forum1/HTML/000439.html) to prevent any further commentary. They fear you and anyone else whose arguments they feel they cannot refute.
By contrast, this message board is open to all who wish to openly discuss polygraph issues, regardless of their position on polygraphy. We don't fear having our arguments subjected to public scrutiny, or having to defend them with facts and reason.
The fact that PolygraphPlace.com is censored, and that the polygraphers who regularly post on that board are unwilling to discuss polygraphy in this uncensored forum, speaks volumes.
Bill,
I just registered/joined polygraphplace.com. I posted a few topics, with some mentioning this site. I wonder, how long until my posts are deleted and I am banned too ! I sure would love to be able to get into their private forum, and see what the NSA clowns are posting !
it looks like whatever u posted is already gone. I actually email a couple of those guys every now and then about things and while they dont agree with me, they are at least cordial. Most of them just insult you and call you a whiner and assume you are a liar.
I got there in time to read his posts and the replies. They claim to be seeking the truth and that the information on antipolygraph.org destroys peoples chances. It seems that they believe that people visiting this site are not smart enough to take all sides of the information and make a decision for themselves.
History teaches us repeatedly that those that restrict and control information have something to hide and are always damaged once the ultimate truth is uncovered.
You guys are right ! All my posts were deleted, and I
am now banned ! I wonder, if they will be smart enough
to link my two user names ? All I can say is, pathetic !
