Can't speak for yourself, eh, kook?


Hang on - who are you adressing here? I didn't write that - you did.

Sigh. My appraisal of you just went down by another 20 IQ points. I was naturally talking to that "researcher" clown. The post was in response to him, after all. And I am well aware of who wrote what. I was referring to "researcher's" silly posting of a pile of irrelevant quotes from dead men rather than trying to explain himself in his own words.

You really do suck at this.



"Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance!"
--Albert Einstein

Non sequitur. You have suggested nothing that can be investigated.


But he has.

List what you think he has proposed that can be scientifically investigated.



"There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale
returns of conjecture out of such trifling investments of fact."
--Mark Twain

Non sequitur. You aren't posting science. You are posting fairytales.


To you perhaps. To me it is conjecture.

Conjecture based on fairytales is called fantasizing. It is not science.



"There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is

proof

against all arguments, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting
ignorance--that principle is contempt prior to investigation."
--Herbert Spencer

Non sequitur. You have not actually investigated anything.


But it *is* relevant:

To whom?

you are showing contempt.

Yes, I have contempt for frauds and fools and ignoramuses who try to pass themselves off as some sort of serious "researcher" and push bunk on people. The real issue here is why don't *you* have any contempt for that sort of behavior?
