IMO, there is too much acceptance of unruly posting on sites. There is no problem with fair debate but many are unable to do that. Good sites do not allow poor posts and I respect those that take swift action.

stubborn person, just deleted him again.

He'll probably be back.
If you guys see him post again, please just use the report button and we'll delete both this idiot and his post.
Don't react to his posts!!!

Reacting to the posts will just feed the troll and gives us more work to clean up, so I would appreciate if you would refrain from reacting.

Also you may use the Ignore option accessed with the button in the pop-up info tab when you move the cursor over the user's nick below the user's avatar on the left of each post.

Okay, I cleaned up the thread. If you find your post deleted, just know, it's not because you did something wrong, but because they made no sense with other posts missing.

Please continue to discuss on the original subject if you're so inclined.

At the troll, please get a life, we can block you all day. You won't accomplish anything by creating new accounts. No need to waste your and our energy.

This kid is truly disturbing. Needs to get a life.
 
There is a partial way of preventing repeat new id Trolls, where any new id has to be reviewed by a Mod before even getting posting rights and, then there is a probation period where early posts by a new member have to be reviewed by a mod before they are put up on the site. This is work for the Mods but, it does work and the site gains quality.
The vetting for joining does not have to be heavyweight, the review of early posts before putting them up can be a matter of a few posts. Overall, many Troll type problems are short lived if quickly dealt with.

BlackSheep-

The Nazis were nowhere in the ballpark of having a nuclear weapon. There was no "secret atomic weapon" used against the Soviets. A good book that investigates the rather slight attempt made by Germany to develop atomic weapons is Heisenberg's War by Powers.

In addition to an assessment of the Nazi efforts it discussed the Allied intelligence work done to ensure that any attempts would be destroyed. A realistic attempt to develop the infrastructure to make a bomb would have received constant and priority bombardment day and night. The efforts went to far as to put Moe Berg a former major league catcher of all things in the audience of one of Heisenberg's lectures in Switzerland during the war. Berg had a gun in his pocket and if Heisenberg said anything that indicated he knew how to work on a bomb he was going to shoot him.

It is an interesting read and really highlights how futile the Nazi war aims were.
Quite right. What little research the Nazi scientists undertook with regard to atomic fission was more toward power production using what was then called "atomic piles." They (the scientists, at least) understood the horrendous efforts that would be needed to enrich uranium to the necessary purity for a "bomb". The next best thing, for them, would be a power producing reactor of some sort that would alleviate the trouble of mining coal and hauling it around. Even then, their efforts could best be described as "desultory." (Humorous note: "Piles" in English is slang for "Hemorrhoids.")

It does work, but will raise the bar for people to join as well. We're an open and, hopefully, friendly community and we want new members to be welcome. I'm not going to sacrifice that to the the few that don't seem to be mature enough to behave and don't have the brains to realise that he's mostly fighting the forum software.
