    For the law of ....

    Of course it is. This is the internet, damn it.

    Oh, that's probably not useful.

    Okay, look. James is well aware of my critique of your "offenses".

    I don't think anyone paying attention doesn't in some way already know what I think.

    But I also know that the webulous nature of this community is such that your effort is an exercise in futility.

    There are essentially two general schools of thought represented here. One is that it's a matter of rules. The other is that it's a matter of degrees.

    In this case, degrees of offense, perceived.

    If I must offer an opinion, it will be that those who have understanding can reckon the number of the beast, for it is a human number, and its number is six hundred and sixty-six.

    Oh, wait. Sorry. Wrong story.

    Nonetheless, the clues are all there. There's no mystery where I stand on the question, in general or particular.

    Fine.

    It's really not a major issue - unless you wish to make it so.

    I suggest you drop it.

    Already did that, and posted an appropriate definition earlier in the thread. Remember?

    Correct.

    Nobody cares now, either. Except you.

    I can't speak for either the DJ or Gustav. You can speak for yourself, can't you. Why don't you tell us all your intentions?

    Consult a thesaurus. You know what they are, right?

    Don't call Gustav a shithead! He won't like you any more.

    i see
    slandering members with accusations of willful deceit and disingenuity is just another day in sciforums for you?

    why do you think i should drop an issue where there is a clear attempt at a character assassination? mine to be exact? by you?

    integrity matters to me. it should matter to all of us. i am mystified as to why you would have such a low opinion of that concept

    i mean, you slander, i protest
    your only rejoinder is to say....drop it?

    i think we should aim higher
    have more lofty goals
    sciforums will benefit
    you should retract and apologize


    of eclecticism? sure
    unfortunately that is not the reference
    you seem to be having a hard time keeping track of a handful of posts
    allow me to nudge your memory

    that is.... consult a thesaurus if you do not know why you are implying i am disingenuous and deceitful when you accuse me of being self-serving and misleading as is done here......


    why are you having such difficulties with the english language? you are a native speaker, correct?


    intentions? towards what? a thread created 2 years ago? the title?
    who is "us" by the way. you mean there are more trolls in sci that profess a similar antipathy towards a 2 year old thread title? i

    /sigh

    lemme repost......


    as for my intentions.... i never gave it a second thought, never thought about good or bad intentions

    i mean, it is a music thread
    the concept and idea that i was perpetrating a fraud on the community never even entered my mind

    until now
    until you came along, james

    and i think i know the game plan
    you are going to hang this charge on me, get that point on and permaban
    rather underhand i think, but hey if that is how you get your rocks off, there nothing much i can do about it.

    /pained but resigned

    hey i have an idea
    perhaps you can change the title to something that is less offensive to your sensibilities?

    /hopeful

    how about....The Great Gustav's Shitty Music Thread?

    /rotfl

    well there is one in a particular

    a allegedly controversial topic title
    its a thread you had even participated in. did you have similar reservations?

    i am asking you because in matters like this, where semantics is the issue, a consensus has more weight than a single subjective opinion

    we have a title...Sciforums Becomes Eclectic
    we have a critique of title.... Self-Serving and Misleading

    what are your thoughts?

    you omitted a reply to a rather relevant question
    in the context of music.......does subjectivity preclude eclecticism?

    for instance... "gustav has eclectic tastes in music"

    why is that an impossible state of affairs (as evinced by your assertion).....

    ......??

    do you know how easily that is put to the test? all one has to is examine the contents of the thread in question

    now
    with all the scientific rigor and methodology you can muster, go forth and conduct an investigation. show me some science in action

    /chortle


    hmm
    maybe i'll ask frag as well since in that thread he addresses me.....


    ... with that. i wonder if he considers his tastes to be eclectic. fairly? mostly? not at all?

    frag?

    /falls down laughing

    Gustav:

    I have not accused you of either wilful deceit or disinguenuity.

    Methinks you protest too much.

    I think you should go back to where this was started - by quadraphonics. Nobody is trying to assassinate your character.

    Once again, you're plucking assumptions out of the air.

    My suggestion was that you ought to post content rather than meta-content to sciforums.

    No, not really. (Was that an insult?)

    I said your thread title was self-serving and misleading. Not quite the same thing. I don't think your thesaurus will help you here.

    I don't think you're in a great position to start lecturing people on the English language.

    Ja?
    /sneer
    /snigger
    /splat
    /sigh

    For example, does your keyboard have a shift key? I'm betting it does. So, have you heard of capital letters?

    You really don't want to start down this path. Not in your position. Trust me.

    By "us" I mean whoever is reading this thread. Which probably isn't too many people. Who could be bothered? Probably it's just you and I, - and quadraphonics of course.

    Fine. It's all good then. Ja?

    Sounds like you're trying to create a self-fulfilling prophecy. Martyr complex much? Ja?

    If I thought it needed changing, I would have changed it when you started the thread - what was it? - two years ago?

    /roflmao

    (Well, not really.)

    please retract and apologize if you are unable to justify your vile accusations
    thank you

    if you do neither, let it be known that you are a nasty, spiteful and opportunistic individual without any sense of morality for assassinating my character in order to troll quad

    ah
    the threat of a ban
    i wondered how long that would have taken to surface
    what path is that anyway?
    lecturing you about your english?
    that will earn me a permaban?

    is that what you are asserting?

    well here you go
    your lecture in english

    i was kinda happy go lucky in my eclectic thread
    but that was then
    i now feel self-conscious when posting
    i feel judgmental eyes on me

    /paranoid

    thanks a lot, james
    you are one hell of an administrator

    oh
    me-ki-gal is now posting in eclectic
    for that, you have earned my undying hatred

    /cackle

    What accusations?

    What? Quadraphonics brought up your music thread, not me. Read back.

    If I wanted to threaten you with a ban, I'd be explicit about it.

    I merely advised you that you might not want to go head to head picking each other's grammatical and other mistakes, because chances are you'll come out looking like a bit of a dill (you might need to look that one up).

    excellent
    and so it shall be known......

    but wait.....

    ahh
    you want reopen an old troll of yours.....


    damn, you are one irascible kid, aint ya?

    well here is the thread....01-10-06, 09:48 AM

    here are my sentiments...


    i'll see you there, james
    bring along all the piety and superstition you can muster
    i'll counter that with logic and reason

    could you please stop being dishonest? trolling like this does sci a great disservice. it is bad pr. please remember you an administrator

    that is your accusation. how many times are you going to make me quote that bit of idiocy?

    that is your proposition....subjectivity precludes eclecticism thus implying randomness

    that is your conclusion....i am being deceitful and disingenuous


    justify your conclusions, validate your assumptions contained in your propositions. why is this so hard? do you not know that intellectual exercises like those are the entire point of this site? do you not know that we expect statements to be supported by a factual basis?

    what are my personal tastes in music? why do you think they are not eclectic? what are the specific choices made in that thread that make the eclectic description inapplicable? present your criteria

    why do i have to give you a lecture in the scientific method?
    seriously james, stop trolling and please resolve your argument in a sane and rational manner

    if you ever find yourself cornered by moderators wielding ban batons demanding substantiation of assertions, this would be the appropriate response...


    please remember, life and liberty are at stake. yours to be exact...
