The problem with EVC

quote:

It's far too political. Nobody gives a damn about the truth. It's a snobbish clique.
How about we do away with that garbage?

​

I ask a question--I get no answer.

​

I ask why somebody would think they are being addressed personally when somebody makes a religious comment. No answer.

​

I ask why the FSM is the same sort of entity as God. No answer.

​

I ask in which sense are the "facts" facts? No answer.

Why don't you volunteer to be a moderator so you can start to make things better around this place if you think it's so crappy?Also, I wonder...if you think this place is so bad and you never get any responses to your questions, why is it that you have over three and a half thousand posts?What, you've started that many topics and nobody replied?Edited by schrafinator, : No reason given.

No, they've been saying that I'm stupid and I don't have degrees from world-class institutions. Also my tone is wrong; I make too many definite statements. And then they throw in a lot of sci-fi babble which is supposed to be impressive.

Oh, waa, waa, boo hoo.Welcome to peer review.If you can't take the heat...

But that won't do, unless you want to say that FSM is the creator, in which case you've made a trivial substitute for the word "God."

---

I believe it is likely that you only think the FSM is a "trivial" comparison because you are harboring residual cultural reverence for the word "God".

The problem I was noting in the OP was not receiving replies.

You have 3894 posts as of this reply.Surely, they aren't all OP's of one-page threads and "bump" messages, are they?

Robin was talking about specific instances of not being answered when he asked again and again for an answer.

---

He is answered. Extremely often.He just doesn't like the answers he gets.And let us not forget that he has frequently engaged in the same behavior.He never did attempt to answer the formal logic puzzle that I posed. You quite gamely gave it a shot, and that is to your credit. All robin did at that point was start to abuse scientific research.

And characterizing his complaint as being about hurt feelings is similarly off base.

---

Considering he has admitted he was angry when he wrote his OP, and my own observation that he has continued in a rather sullen, petulant tone for some time, I'd say that my characterization was fairly apt.

It's about not being able to have a real conversation. That's the problem with the snobbery and the contemptuous chuckling.

Boo hoo.Heat, kitchen, etc.

Oh it's annoying and stupid too, but mainly it prevents thinking about serious questions.

Whining about your perceived grevious persecution on a public internet debate forum prevents thinking about serious questions, too.Edited by schrafinator, : No reason given.
