Thread Name: BS: KISS keep it simple
Subject: RE: BS: KISS keep it simple
I'm a very happy chap, as anyone who knows me would attest. It ill-behoves you to comment on my general demeanour as you have never met me in person. I wouldn't comment on yours for the same reason, though I would muse on the fact that some of the happiest people I know are also the stupidest. When I can be arsed to examine the assertions you make on this forum, I find that you peddle misinformation as a matter of routine. In a recent example I found that almost every assertion you made about ovulation was completely wrong, not just slightly in error, and I've done the donkey work in exposing that and correcting you. Much of what you post here is ostensibly about science. But, you see, science is there to advance human understanding of the world, the universe and the laws of nature. Almost all of what you post is either speculative, whimsical, half-baked, overly-simplistic, unchecked or just downright misunderstood. Well in science that simply won't do. When you post your abundant inaccuracies you claim that it doesn't matter because, variously, you claim to be a man of ideas, ultra-imaginative, some kind of free thinking visionary, when all the time we can see that you're just a bloody clot. In addition, you are completely useless when it comes to clearly communicating whatever it is you're trying to tell us. You appear to revel in whimsy and obscurantism, perhaps thinking that it marks you out as some kind of floating-over-the-rest-of-us guru. Well you're just not. Basically, you're a fraud, you've be been called out several times each at least by gilly, Raggytash, Backwoodsman, Dave, Ebbie, Joe and others, apart from yours truly. As we saw on the Trump thread, you have an arch-protector in high places. I'd say, don't let that go to your head. Instead, let's post to threads like this only after checking our facts first, and let's try to understand that science is there to wonderfully extend our understanding of the universe via baby steps, not via wild-west flights of whimsy.
