Apparently you either didn’t read this (from another thread) or chose to disregard it:

Switching to my admin/moderator hat for a moment:

Please remember that posting in these forums is a privilege, not a right, and it is a privilege which can be revoked.

Also, please learn how to use the forum quote function. Not an issue particularly with the post that I’m responding to, as you only quoted one phrase, and put it in quote marks. However in many of your posts you include entire paragraphs and it is difficult to tell what you are quoting of the original post.

Regardless, you are now blocked from posting, tentatively for a week.

My plan is to unblock you Tuesday evening a week from today, however because I am just a volunteer, and particularly because this is my first time taking punitive action against a non-spammer, I’m also emailing the TSI staff to have them review my current actions and also to see if they have any recommendations about the actions to take if there is a recurrence after you are unblocked (assuming that they don’t recommend that I just leave you blocked forever now).

I had to shut Hadean down and transfer residual funds to my father’s building maintenance company that I inherited when he passed away last year. I also decided that we had to shelve platform design till we’d stabalized the fish farming aspect of the business. So we’ll be spending several years on land focusing on the building a customer base and getting tropical fish farming to the same level as salmon.

We know for a fact that anything within the territorial waters of asian nations is too polluted to get anything more than 40% survival in our livestock, so a platform far out to sea is still one of our priorities, but only after we’ve firmly established ourselves in the regional market and have a trained, dedicated team of farmers and engineers willing to work on board a seastead.

I am sorry to hear that third party interference factors interrupted your project. It confirms what i had already mentioned before – the most important part is not “technical factors” nor “design factors” the most difficult part is to survive “local factors” that can convert to show stoppers long enough to get a project to a size so that it becomes immune to factors like “family crisis” and “local pollution” – the smaller the project – the less powerful the support base is – the more vulnerable a project becomes.

Interesting that a factor that we discussed as a competitive disadvantage (far out) can obviously become a advantage (clean water – livestock survival) if you are going with the correct business approach.

I hope you will be back on platform soon…
