SCEPCOP Forum

Post reported. Sydney - if you get banned please note that it would not be because you bring contrary views - Winston probably agrees with you. It's that you are rude and insulting. Most of your posts simply approach the line but this one really crossed it. I actually hope you don't get banned, since you've woken up the forum and I think there is some good discussion to be had (I still want to come back to the vaccine issue, hope to have time this week) but if you continue like this you will be gone soon. No one wants to have discusses and take abuse like that.

OK boys, problem noted. I'll be in touch via PM shortly.

Until then, EVERYBODY OUT OF THE POOL. I will be locking this topic until further notice. If this trickles over to any other area of this forum, then there will be an immediate 3 day "time out" for whoever starts it.

Thank you gentlemen, I do believe that we have cleared up the murky water to a satisfactory level. Feel free to jump back in the pool. The topic is unlocked.

Then I'm diving in head first.
Steven Barasch claims to be an architect who designs high rises and he states that buildings over 50 feet are high rises. That's 5 stories. He claims to have built a building that was 100 feet. That's 10 stories. High rises are actually genenrally considered by architects to be between 12-40 stories and above 40 are skyscrapers.
He has also claimed to have helped design the TransAmerica Building in San Francisco which is a high rise. The only problem with that is the building was built between 1969 and 1972 and the referenced author didn't even graduate college until 1971.
Sydney, I did do my research before posting and I was previously aware that Mr. Barasch lays claim to being a high rise architect (in fact, I actually anticipated that he would be your reference if you actually posted one). However, his credentials when looked at a little more closely, don't stand up to scrutiny. As such, I will continue to stick by my orignal statement and will continue to wait for a reference from someone who has the credentials for a building similar to the WTCs construction.
Ninja, thanks for re-opening the thread so I could comment on the substance of Sydney's statement. The name calling speaks for itself...
