What you did was validate the article's conclusions, by your behavior.

Found these "WMDs" yet?

Absence of evidence, is not necessarily evidence of absence.

This is testable, BB.

What's testable?



BTW, Did you miss Duck's recent very good post?
You *should* read it.

You mean THIS one: LOL

I should have never told cliff and gunner to go spew in the political
groups... all it did was make them realize they were there, and then
drag
this group through the cesspool.

Did their conclusions threaten you in some way?

Looked like a prime counterexample to me.

Actually, it explained your own modus operandi with remarkable
accuracy. Especially in the areas of politics,

Found these "WMDs" yet?
This is testable, BB.

Are you unable to separate an article ABOUT political rhetoric, FROM
political rhetoric itself?


machining,

Only the oversize dowels are oversize, BB.

Heh, yeah, and your not knowing which way the orthogonal coordinate
axes point after claiming to know all those programming systems from the
past, or getting the G02-03 wrong when you tried to program the lathe
edge break after claiming Tom didn't know what he was doing. And not
knowing P,Q,R were tertiary axes, or not knowing that larger dia. stock
will contact the slit edges of a collet/bushing first. Also claiming
that a faster feed gives a better finish.
These are all simple mistakes that someone that tries to project the
image of an expert in machining matters wouldn't make.


science,

I blame the very poor quality of the Catholic schools (along with
the nuns, Aristotle & Wick) on that one, BB.
You are usually so far off the mark that it's very, very funny. But sad.

It may inflate your ego or self-image to believe what you wrote above,
but I'm certainly not convinced, and I tend to doubt that many others
are either. Just answer the following questions:

Are mass and time vector quantities? If your answer is yes, please
show a credible physics site that clearly and concisely agrees with you.
If an object has 2 kg of mass and zero velocity - how much momentum
does it possess?


and
personal interaction.

That you are so often so wrong (as are the brain-dead wingers)
is part of what I try to *educate* you about <VBG>.

Cliff ol' buddy, I'm willing and open to be educated in ANY subject. I
certainly don't hold any illusions that I'm omniscient. Unfortunately,
your biased certainties cannot be counted on to be consistently correct
or accurate. Hence your comments need external support before they can
be trusted to be true.

Don't be upset just because you & they are wrong. Try instead
to learn (and then teach a few wingers yourself).

If I'm wrong, I'd like to know about it so I can correct it.
