Life on Mars? C'mon!

Being a new member, myself, I find your response very discourteous, unfair, judgmental, self-serving, and self-fulfilling. Not to mention just plain rude. Why would you think a personal attack on a new member is a reasonable thing to do? I'm sure you've been through the ropes here and have had many an intellectual battle, but is this a frat house? Abu Ghraib? Do you personally think that new member have to 'show their mettle' before they are entitled to basic etiquette?What if I, oh, I don't know, let's say that your penis size is inversely related to your arrogance? Of course, I would have too much class to actually accuse you of that, but was just wondering what your reaction would be.

Supergenius (if you're still here), we only have been able to study one planet, so far. And the score is one for one, the Earth. That doesn't give us much background for prediction, but it sure doesn't give us an overwhelming sense that two for two is out of the question.Whatever the odds of abiogenesis, I do know that the planets of our solar system are partly composed of puked out remnants of older star systems. Although unlikely that some form of life itself was able to survive the billions of years that is required for the accretion of inter-stellar dust into the planets of our solar system, it still provides the possibility of significant precursors to abiogenesis surviving from material ejected from previous solar systems. Plus, as Phobos mentioned, there may be more inter-planetary (and inter-stellar) exchange of material than we currently acknowledge.

Sorry, Ned, if I shot off at the mouth, there. As soon as I posted, I noticed the dates on Super's posts. Doh.But, I guess we'll never know if he would have stayed around if he hadn't been trashed within 4 hours of posting. I just have seen a lot of the disparaging 'hit-and-run' comments and took it out on Lam. I'm new here, but I've seldom seen a forum not welcome new members. It's a shock to see them treated with distain. Other than that, I agree with Mrs. Lincoln. (Lam, that means I love the play.)

I respect that. Me, I have a small penis, so I guess I'll just have to take the back side of that argument. Maybe I'm a woman and I like that I'm small. You just never know.

He, he. Well, I apologize. I couldn't really tell from your avatar. As you can see, my avatar is just amazed to be here.

Congrats on that 600th post, asshole!!
