What to do with Brad? (Yet another Brad McFall topic)

By the way, we love you Brad.I think the people have spoken. We leave Brad alone.

I do have a high regard for Brad. He's obviously highly intelligent and knowledgable. But I wish I couldn't understand his postings merely because his biology knowledge is SO far ahead of mine.

Somehow I'd like to get Brad postings elevated above the status of high quality esoteric filler. Maybe not confine hime to "Boot Camp", but still get him into a "Boot Camp" topic where the bio-knowledgable can grill him to actually figure out what he's talking about.Or perhaps just get said knowledgable to give more attention and responses to some of the topics Brad has started.Moose

Salty seems to like Brad's posts..but not as much as Grasse.And in defense of my fellow Ithacan, I say let him post away...he is harmless.

The question is would it help? I really doubt it. He seems too intelligent to be one of those that would post vague messages on purpose. I say we close this thread and be done with it.

NO! Don't do it! Brad should be considered a prize national treasure and a credit to EvC!

Brad has shown effort - as he answered one of my questions plainly - in one of the Brad threads - wish I could find the link, but I think he gets picked on a little, because of his different posting style.Maybe if he wanted --> A boot camp thread in which he can only use three letter words, with a maximum of three vowels. Lol.Somehow I think he'd just write; " Gla - DI - she -v. " Seriously though - leave Brad alone or I'll get bibleGod onto you.This message has been edited by mike the wiz, 10-20-2004 08:24 AM

YOus dont get it! IT IS NOT WORD PLAY.Temperature decreases overvoltages.
Macrothermodynamics has an acutal biological UPPERLIMIT due to paritions of energy intensitivity and maximul warmbloodness.
Smalhausen DID NOT USE MOLECULAR INFORMATION.
Cornell did not teach the relation of adaptibility to overvoltange potentials.
THE THEORY IS COMPLETE.
Kant reads differnently GIVEN this AS evolutionary theory.
C/E tends to exist THUS MORE THAN E/C.You just dont know.I dont need banishement yous need to lear WHAT IKNOW.This is like WISDOM to me know and WAS ONLY POSSIBLE BY TALKING HERE WITH YOU ALL.If I canT be free then ions wont be either. Liberation and liberty are different. Feyman left earth thinking of Capicitance and I will in thermal currents affecting current density in electroLYSIS of the CELL REINTERPRETED. Dont want to KNOW what I KNOW. DONt but dont blame me. Blame your teachers. I try. OH YEah for RUssian readers the most important info is that overvoltages tend to COMPLETE electrolytic processing (oxidation/reduction).This message has been edited by Brad McFall, 10-20-2004 09:54 AM

Brad is our community's harmless local color.Leave him be.

Ooooooo, a proposed experiment!What are your parameters, Mike? What's gonna happen to whom, and when if Brad goes to boot camp?

You were one, probably "The One", I was thinking of when I used the term "the bio-knowledgable" in message 17.Neo-Mammuthus, care to plug into the Brad Matrix?Moose

Baramin hell!! Interestingly though, Brad's message was understandable, he is saying that he has knowledge - and our lack of it is the problem, not his debate style. I agree with Brad, if we aren't on that level - should he be blamed?

No thanks...I can't afford the drugs.

I'm pretty confident that the members will generously contribute to a fund to support any drug requirements.Moose{Edited to change ID}This message has been edited by minnemooseus, 10-20-2004 11:14 AM

I agree. I mean, just how many forums out there that has a Brad McFall like our own?Added by edit:Brad never seems to mind any of the bad stuff that people say about him. In fact, it doesn't look like he is bothered by the fact that people generally ignore his posts.I've been having this theory that Brad is actually god sitting in heaven with a computer teasing us limited mortals. He's probably like "hahaha, these puny little creatures are talking about some things that are way over their heads."This message has been edited by Lam, 10-20-2004 11:02 AM

Brad! In no way was my post meant to be insulting, it was meant to be complementary; and I don't think you should be 'banished' by any means, unless you yourself desire to better communicate with the rest of the forum. I KNOW!I wasn't saying your posts were solely word-play, but that you often express your content in an almost poetic way (whether you realize it or not).Really, Brad, it was a complement.But do realize that the vast majority here don't read or don't understand your posts, and not because of our intelligence or desire (necessarily).You write: True, Brad, most of us don't know what you're talking about.
So explain it to us; try to express your ideas in a way that the rest of us can understand.For example, you incessantly name-drop, as in the post I'm replying to... try to accept the fact that few in the forum have an idea of Smalhausen's work, let alone how it applies to your argument, or a rereading of Kant. Perhaps try to post without the name-dropping, and with more explanation of the work done by the people with the names?Hopefully you'll take this as constructive, do what you will with it...
