Short term topic closure coming (a semi-Moosing)
In my honest opinion, I'm not sure who is the greater babbler, Juraikken or ArchArchitect. And they seem to sort of bring the same sort of things out of others.
ArchArchitect, posting bare or essentially bare links (such as in message 57) is highly frowned upon in these parts (Forum rule 5) . Quote the relevant part and comment on same, and post the link.
To the others - Please try to keep the replies to Juraikken and ArchArchitect down to a fewer but higher quality. If you don't find their message worthy of a reply, THEN DON'T REPLY. Otherwise I or another admin might have to resort to a mass suspension.
I think we're trying to keep Juraikken and/or ArchArchitect out of the Showcase forum (aka "The Rubber Room"), whose discription is:
This forum hosts those with the most controversial or unusual viewpoints, giving them an opportunity to showcase their ideas in discussion with selected EvC Forum members. Featured luminaries are by invitation only. Participation by other EvC Forum members is by request only, and permission to participate can be revoked at any time
People, let's strive for niceness and quality.
Closing topic in 10 minutes, for a yet to be determined period.

Short term topic closure now (and the A Moose is feeling pissed)
Closed until some later time.

Topic drift alert!
All messages should have some obvious connection to Carbon dating.

It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon.
There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots. Source
