Probably a waste of time, but I think the Bible your ancestor occasionally
refers to says that the average person has a God-given obligation to help
those who clearly need help, so I might as well try... Besides, I'm killing
time at the moment:

1. You can "debate to learn"

You don't do that.

You do not have to prove you credential unless you are a Maxson. Double
standard.

You bet your ass, since several people here are "known quantities" with
actual engineering creds who answer questions about said credibiliy when
asked, unlike you & your kinfolk. Not to mention that most people here seem
SECURE in their credentials, instead of, say, reacting like a vampire under
a heat lamp when they get asked why they feel that they are qualified to
create fantasies about why a technical, scientific system designed by actual
engineers supposedly did the impossible. Y'all seem to have a real problem
with... You know... PROVING stuff. With EVIDENCE. That other people can
actually believe and even *gasp shock horror* independently verify.

If I came in here and made wild-ass claims that somehow the entire world was
really not functioning the way it was supposed to, I'd be asked to do the
same thing, no? Amazing how you are simultaneously

A. The only people who don't understand this and
B. The only people making wild claims that nobody can verify and
C. The only people actively pimping a book about your claims.

7. OM needs some serious counseling but the group is afraid of him.
I'm still working on why that is but I have a theory.

Afraid of him? Like he's going to bite me through the monitor? OM is OM.
Shrug. Funny you should mention anybody needing counseling... That's
downright perverse, considering the source.

As for the personal stuff... It's Usenet. That doesn't make it right, but
it's not like that's unprecendeted. Surely the same thing happens anywhere
you get people into groups?
