Dave is helpful in questioning the authenticity of instrumentation & to recheck the credibility of the info/data obtained.

He only questions it if it threatens his ideas. One particular incident comes to mind. He once questioned Martian rover measurements of Phobos' orbital period when I supplied it as evidence against his idea that objects always drift away from whatever they orbit. Then, later on, he modified his idea so that objects close enough to their parent bodies will drift inwards instead of outwards. Then he said that he agreed with the rover measurements. With him, it's often a case of "measurements that agree with my hypothesis can be trusted, but those that do not cannot be trusted".

Yahya has the ability to serve abstract thoughts but eventually conforms to critical thinking and logical reasoning.

When do you anticipate this happening?

[paul cotter (OP)]

Zer0, I don't seek perfection. I seek a good debate with exchange of ideas but when someone doggedly insists on an obviously false position and will not participate other than stating "black is white", then this debate I seek cannot happen.

Zer0, if falsehoods are being disseminated and we do nothing to counter them, then we do a disservice to the general reader who may not be able to discern the truth.

The best thing we could do to counter them is, after a while, to ban the people posting them.

Maybe change the format a bit, with a red warning instead of the green band, and a permanent emoji of a defecating bovine between two question marks?

It is good to see the mods moving quickly to quash threads infected with unscientific gibberish. Thank you, Halc+Kryptid.

Is it the warm weather?
We seem to have had a flare up of

I just noticed the resurrection of a long winded( 40 odd pages ) diatribe that I remember commenting on: just to be sure of what I had said I read through it all-aagh!, I now have a splitting headache. We definitely seem to be having an outburst of such activity, can't blame it on the full moon as we are well past that now. I was in southern California( Anaheim ) '83/'84 and there outbreaks of lawlessness were ascribed to the santa ana winds, a warm desert wind that hit the area from time to time. I don't know how realistic this is but it was taken seriously by law enforcement.

Apparently there's a real drop inmost crime during heatwaves- presumably the criminals" just can't be bothered".
On a tangentially related note, is Gilyermo a bot?

[paul cotter (OP)]

Yep BC, I noticed that, a rash of comments just stating the obvious and adding nothing new.

On a tangentially related note, is Gilyermo a bot?

Spam bot, banned. The point of the post storm was apparently to bury the (writer help) spam in a post in the paroxetine topic.

Always suspicious of a new user, especially one that puts out multiple (useless) posts like that, all at once. The last 7 posts were 30 seconds apart. No human can do that unless all the pages were pre-composed and all you needed to do was change windows and hit the post button.

Not referring to Momentus, I think a lot of the other posters who produce voluminous and often incoherent posts on an intermittent basis are suffering from bipolar disorder. They post reams and reams of nonsense for a while and then disappear, reappearing months later to repeat the process. This behaviour is characteristic of BD where the manic phase is associated with pressure of thought and the subsequent depressive state with paucity of thought.

[paul cotter (OP)]

Full moon alert!!, the loonies are out in force, run for the hills.

[Kryptid]

Momentus, please keep that discussion in your Dark Motion thread. I feel like you are derailing this thread.

[paul cotter (OP)]

I have been out of touch for just over 1week. I note the avalanche of bs continues unabated. Much credit due to BC, Kryptid, Origin and any others I may have missed for their, alas vain, attempts to promulgate science. I don't know where their patience comes from, personally my response would have degenerated into strings of expletives if I had to deal with such "wilful ignorance", my only description possible. AAAGGHH!!!

[paul cotter (OP)]

I just noticed there was another outbreak of "dark motion" back in 2020, before my time.

[paul cotter (OP)]

Another nonsense attack alert!! Must be a full moon again. Kryptid is battling valiantly against this particular onslaught.

Sometimes the stuff I see here makes me scratch my head too. But hey, the internet's a wild place, and there's all sorts of folks out there. We just gotta roll with it and not let it get to us too much. Age might be a factor, but craziness knows no boundaries.
