Samantha,

As I pointed out in a post the other day that you (pointedly) ignored: 
I was banned from SL4 immediately after I suggested that Eliezer's AND 
my own comments be put in front of an outside expert in cognitive science.

Since the debate between Eliezer and myself was about a particular 
technical issue in cognitive science, that would have been a perfect way 
for onlookers to assess whether Eliezer's comments really were as 
ridiculous as I said they were.

As soon as I made that suggestion, he banned me from SL4, wrote several 
defamatory essays about me, and then forbade anyone on SL4 from 
discussing the matter further.

Why have *you* never been banned?  I don't know:  perhaps because you 
don't have enough knowledge to challenge his core beliefs and defend 
yourself successfully.
