What? The one who said: "on account of my own recent conflicts with tcpip, I must regretfully abstain from making a decision in this case and defer the call to another moderator." ?

They pitched you out? Because... why?

As far as I can figure, the original concession that was asked of you was merely that you state that it is absolute fact that "that the natural sciences presuppose a concept of causation, and that such a concept cannot be empirical, and can therefore be discovered only through the operation of philosophical investigation, and not by the sciences proper"

My oh my. Anybody - and I mean anybody declaring that they absolutely know that to be objective fact can go stand in the "Faith" corner with the religious fundamentalists.

"Philosophy" indeed.
