This is kind of funny, so I share it: Ben, who is clearly not the Man, closes my thread because: "I received a complaint from someone that the thread was a duplicate." Now nothing like actually INVESTIGATING the issue if it is really a duplicate or not, but taking a guy's word over mine whose name is Trippy??? That is an insult.

I will stick to politics and religion and advising whiny teenagers.... Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
i'm a little suspicious of a chemist named trippy. i bet he's got the complete works of fischer & fischer.
lol I smell a conspiracy here! Well, the moral of the story : moderators should make up their own minds and not take it for granted what other mods say.
Oh look, someone else i've disagreed with trying to slag me off. Unless you're talking about Hans Fischer, I have no idea who you're talking about - I'm an environmental chemist, not an organic one.
Now that's what I call efficiency .... Maybe I did my math wrong— 1,698,689,734 ÷ 24 hours ÷ 60 minutes per hour ÷ 365 days ÷ 10 years = 3.2324455859969561 —but three strikes a minute? And only 2,137,502 posts, excluding the present? An average of 794.7079038990373192 strikes per post? Wow. We're getting good at this. Talk about efficiency! I guess my high word count helps push that average. I'm hard-pressed to see how we can commit over 794 mistakes in handling a three-sentence post. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
is that such a bad thing, to disagree on something? no, i wasn't trying to "slag you off" whatever that means. what did we disagree on anyway?
Not in the slightest. Colloquial slang term, mock, make fun of, poke fun at. And I can accept that I may have taken what you said the wrong way. Been trying to recall that after having made the comment Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! WHy would you be suspicous of a chemist named Trippy?
with the title "hippy scientist"?Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! it would suggest you have been sampling your own product WAY to muchPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Just kidding mate, i like you
I know you say that in jest, but allow me to clarify. The title Hippy Chemist is a direct reference to my chosen career. I work in environmental chemistry. I work to protect the environment. My job is within the Government (local government) applying science to law enforcement. Ordinarily I wouldn't divulge this because it has been my experience that when you make comments like that it automatically colours their opinion of you and what you have to say, and they don't see past your job title. My title here (and elsewhere) is a tongue in cheek reference to the perception that caring about what happens to lakes, rivers and streams you have to be a tree hugging hippy of some sort. So Environmental Chemistry = Hippy Chemistry, and Environmental Science = Hippy Science.
No, I think Tiasa was deminstrating a point by demonstrating just how ridiculous the post she was responding to was.
