At this point kicking me off looks like a cowardly move.

[Schneibster]

I dare you to publish your "Anti-Talk Polywell.org" Manifesto.

Sooooo, paranoid much?

Just askin'.

I think you are about done here. Have a nice life.

Oh, you're leaving?

Good.

[ladajo]

Do your worst Blowhard.

You've got nothing. You are a coward. You can't even name yourself on your own blog.

Pussy. And complete Loser.

[ladajo]

Speaking of your Blog:

I'm now awaiting a response from the administrator of a prominent fusion site, threatening to kick me off if I don't stop talking about global warming.

If there are fireworks I promise to publish the correspondence; whether I will name the site depends on how nasty they are

YOU ARE A LIAR.

THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU WERE TOLD.

[Schneibster]

You're shouting. Are you upset about something?

[ladajo]

It's ok little Schnibtroll, we all knew you were a liar already.

You will come to terms with it eventually. Or your meds will run out.

I am not sure which will happen first though.

[ladajo]

Bye Schnibbles-n-bits.

I will miss your incoherent ranting and empty threats. Well ok, not really.

You have been "foe'd"!

I don't think he's lying. I think he believes every last drop of bilge he's spouting. Which makes it no less vile.

That's been my theory as well.

As for his meds, hard to tell from here if they're not working, or if he's self medicating and they are.

I saw a comment somewhere earlier that said "He either needs to cut his pills in half, or double up on them. "


Too funny.

I personally have little confidence in the ability of synthesized drugs to work well as a substitute for the body's own natural versions. I think we will see advances in technology which will allow the regeneration or creation of tissues which will synthesize the natural versions in a controlled feedback manner so as to better mimic the body's own naturally occurring dosage.

if threats of physical violence don't get people banned than i don't see how he will be banned for being abrasive or forceful. I am not saying he should be banned and certainly not the first one. I don't think Joe has the time to care anyway.

I have sent Joe the relevant information a week ago. So far he has done what he usually has done under similar circumstances. Nothing.

In the 6+ years of this board only one person has been banned. And he had to make an extremely extreme effort.

S. has not even come close to that level of effort. But I do understand. It is the environment S. is used to.

An anadamide booster or an endorphin booster might be interesting.

I can adapt.

It's the conservatives that can't. They burn with hatred. I don't; AFAIC most people aren't very bright. It would be like blaming my cats.

Internet psychiatrists are almost as funny as internet lawyers.

Back in my high school debating days, the punishment for being on the losing side was lapidation, only with large clods of dirt as opposed to stones.

I finished reading 'Ecofascism' by Elizabeth Nickson last month, over half way through 'State of Fear' by Michael Crichton, thought I'd share.

[choff]

Sorry, that was 'Eco-Fascists'.

The Crickton novel is intriguing in that it raises the prospect of geo-engineering, not as a way to save the environment, but as a way to quite literally "hide the decline" by raising temperature. More properly, it's a great way for disaster capitalists to clean up on cheap real estate after they've wiped out the locals. That way they can demonstrate what a terrible threat we live under from climate change all the while causing it. They want to bring in carbon currency, taxes and credits and can't be put off by a little thing like flatline data.

If that sounds ridiculous, consider the case of Gary Webb. He wrote a book that claimed the CIA was running drugs, died of suicide, shot himself in the back of the head twice.

You are without bias or hate. The perfect being. I'm in awe.

Funny thing. About a year after Webb was discredited the CIA admitted in the back pages that they were running drugs.

=================

Models are not reality. Even in electronics we consider a model good if it is within 5% and excellent if it comes in within 1%. And electronics is not nearly as complicated as climate. And electronics can be constrained.

So lets see 1% of 300 deg K = 3 deg K. But the climate modelers claim much better "accuracy" than that. Out of measurements that are not as accurate as can be done with electronics. And with such stupidities (because of some of the older data sets) as assuming the average temperature of a place is the average of the high and the low readings for a given day. All we really can know FOR SURE is that the average is >= the low and <= the high. Since the high and low are usually roughly 20 deg F or more apart (might be 10 - might be 40) that gives a lot of room for inaccuracy to creep in. And you are aware of the initial conditions problem in computation. Especially in a chaotic system. All you need is non-laminar flow to introduce chaos. And mixing.

And averaging a number of chaotic computer runs tells you nothing about what the real system will do. It is unpredictable, Yes there are strange attractors. But when and under what conditions are jumps between attractors made? Indeterminate. Too many variables. Too dependent on initial conditions.

The faithful get fewer every day.

And "The Consensus"? A meaningless concept if you are doing science. Useful though if you are doing politics. An appeal to consensus tells me immediately which camp a person belongs in (science or political science).
