Stuf4 wrote: My arguments here have been like arguing that the Earth is round. Those with limited perspective will insist that the Earth is flat. Actually, your arguments are more akin to arguing that the Earth is a hollow sphere with openings at the poles. You dismiss as having "limited perspective" anyone who thinks that the conventional view of the Earth as a sphere is a much better fit to the available evidence. Brad Guth uses much the same tactic. He argues that there are lizard folk on Venus with advanced airships and that the Apollo landings on the moon were faked and that Columbia was destroyed by an airborne laser. Anyone who disagrees is dismissed as a "NASA mole" or a "NASA borg". Of course, you are much more reasonable than Guth (and infinitely more articulate) but the fact remains that you constantly feel the need to adopt his abusive tactics.

I'll probably regret this, but have a look at: http://www.avalanchetankers.us/archives/000058.html to see how Skippy and the Army get along. I particularly like 33 and 34. 33. Not allowed to chew gum at formation, unless I brought enough for everybody. 34. (Next day) Not allowed to chew gum at formation even if I *did* bring enough for everybody. |

Stuffie earned its credibility the same way you're earning yours. I have absolutely no clue what you're talking about; so you're saying the two of you had a meeting and he couldn't answer your questions? Not a face-to-face meeting, but a public network series of conversations much as we are now. CT blew in much as you have - making (at best) statements and analysis contrary to known facts, and full of bluster about subjects that he/she/it clearly did _not_ know as much about as he/she/it thought that it did. (I will use "He" to refer to Stuffie in all further references in this thread, but Stuffies true gender is undetermined and irrelevant) In this particular case, he made a number of claims concerning a subject that I certainly have more experience with - to whit, the Safe Ejection Envelope of the Ejection Seats used in high performance aircraft. I posed a question to him, and offered to provide the source material that should have allowe him to either: 1. Back up the claim that such information to answer the question was as easily determined as he claimed. 2. Admit that the solution to the problem wasn't as deterministic as he had contended. (I note that he followed up later in this threasd (Weekly killfile audit) His account is not complete, or particularly accurate. In particular, he missed the part where, over the course of 5 days, 7 attempts were made to E-mail him with the source material. He refused to open it (Receipt indicators and the logs of the household SMTP and NNTP servers back this up, and he apparently went to the point of stuffing his own mailbox to capacity to avoid receipt if any data.) He didn't mention _that_ part. I'm not surprised. That was merely the culmination of a number of excahanges concerning ridiculous, unsupportable, absurd, and in some cases, downright slanderous contentions he'd put forward up to that time. The other points mentioned refer to teh highlegts of some of them. Or did you folks just try to "corner" him in here and he chose not to respond? Those are two different things, you know. Nope - a simple quiz. Anybody with his claimed expertise would have either known the answers, or been able to find them. When the bet was called he folded. Or, more to the point - He activated Jammers, popped flares & started jinking (If in the air) He popped smoke & ran (On the ground) Or, perhaps, so sum up, he inked & ran away, in emulation of other molluscs. What I DO know is if that quote on your signature truly came from Daniel Webster, I am truly disappointed. I had a far higher opinion of him than that. PLEASE tell me the author is a misprint. :-) It most certainly is accurate - and your inability to interpret it speaks volumes. I selected it on 13th Sept 2001, after having spent 48 hrs under ground, doing, among other things, the screening of phone calls from all manner of non-thinking, panicked bozos - from Members of the Press seeking "The Real Secret Truth" (tm) to those convinced that the acts of Sept. 11 were the fault of whatever had burned through their tinfoil beanies. It's also appropriate when you consider the case of James Kallstrom, former head of teh New York Office of the FBI. His actions following the TWA 800 crash were ill-considered, foolish attempts to bulldoze the investigation into the accident to reach a preconceived conclusion, for motives that can best be considered aggrandizement fo himself and his Agency. In doing so, he interfered with and delayed the productive investigation of the proper, experienced investigators, and creeated a cloud of confuston that will be feeding the conspiracy crowd for decades. As a result of this, he went from being Heir Apparant of the FBI to doing voice-over introductions on the Discovery Channel. The message is simple - and those who can read and comprehend English, be it British English, American Colloquial, or Indian Colloquial, have no problem understanding it. I'll leave you with another New England homily: "It is better to be quit adn leave teh impression that you might be an idiot, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." -- Pete Stickney A strong conviction that something must be done is the parent of many bad measures. -- Daniel Webster |

I'll leave you with another New England homily: "It is better to be quit adn leave teh impression that you might be an idiot, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." Well, I might have thanked you for your explanation if you had not been condescending, but perhaps you have given me a clue about yourself in this message. As a Navy "brat" I spent time in a wide variety of places in this country, and New England is probably the most difficult to decipher. I truly appreciated and loved the history there, but the people! Talk about suspicious, and cold, etc. If you walked up and said hi, you could see their eyes darting around you looking for the knife you were about to stab them with! Please do not lecture me about English; I majored in the subject. However, the condescention aside, your explanation sheds light on a quote that on first reading sounded like the antithesis of what I thought Daniel Webster stood for. I now think I understand what the quote really meant, and I appreciate the enlightenment. As for CT, I suppose I will just have to reserve judgment. I've learned a couple of things about this person (as we all do if we're inquisitive on the Internet), and I don't find this person to be a "duck and run" kind of person. Since I wasn't an actual witness to the original exchange, I'll just have to bow out of this one. :-) LaDonna |

Please do not lecture me about English; I majored in the subject. More secret stuff, eh? I don't find this person to be a "duck and run" kind of person. He's much more like a "change the subject when it's clear I'm not qualified to talk about it but I'm too chicken-**** to admit it" kind of person. I'll just have to bow out of this one. :-) Don't stop there, you're welcome to go back to the alt heirarchy. Don't let the newsgroup hit you in the LaDonna on the way out. |

Don't you remember a few weeks ago when "LaDonna" first dropped in she claimed to be a junior at Wichita State? So why, then, is she using the past tense: "majored"?
