Darn, did I ever do that? I don't recall it, but if I "followed you around" it was probably because you initiated points that grabbed my interest; I only "follow around" people that say something I want to debate on.:shrug:

Of course, of course.

Quite so, and of course I do have seen people being totally broken by groupleaders demanding a higher impact where in reality there was just no possibility for a higher one.

You are always so reasonable and disarming. Are you related to ghandi?

The way I see it, moderators want better forums? Well then they should contribute in their own forums and lead by example (moi included), lead the discussion, so to say.

Exactly, and whats the point? Even negative data is data and time and effort goes into every experiment, ya? I've actually abandoned a manuscript, I got so frustrated with all the do's and don'ts.

No I'm actually pulling out my hair by the handfuls and I've ground my teeth to the roots, but fortunately on the internet I can appear very zen.

Do you see any prestigious papers here?
Do you need Spurious to explain to you the difference between Sciforums and Science?

So you agree that we should provide long lists of references for all of our posts? Bibliographies? Methods? Etc.?

You do realize that this is a discussion forum, not a scientific journal, don't you?

And, there are times when we know things without having our 'notes' in order. That is, we don't have references for every little tidbit of information echoing around beneath our arachnoid spaces.

Must we then remain silent for lack of reference?

Because this is a discussion forum and you should be free to choose what you wish to discuss. If someone asks you a question which you don't care to go into, then you should be free to decline comment. To be penalized for declining comment is... stupid.

 

the point i was trying to make is that you do not see the "fuck you dickhead" in journals such as "nature". do you really need to call valich a "dumbfuck"?

please do not sic spurious on me, i don't feel like becoming [ENC]charred remains[/ENC].

yes, when it's requested.
well not exactly the way you put it, a nice link or two would suffice.

yes, i do

a damn good point vert, i'm glad you made it.
you must admit though, unreferenced material cannot be anything more than opinion.

no, but be prepared to be shot down by a well armed opponent.

okay, there is a god, i have proof, want me to show it to you? fuck off.
not to be confrontational vertie but i hope i made my point.

maybe this can be solved by the nature of the first, or opening, post of a thread. if the opening post implies a serious subject matter then the thread is a alpha thread.

 

Come now, you can't be serious. Spurious is throwing a whiny, sniveling tantrum, so he's getting treated as such. No big woop.

 

Perhaps it would be more useful to address the the issue than exacerbate it.

 

i was halfway into a movie called "platoon" and decided to check out this thread.
a good example of an off topic post.

 

All the Black Adder references were removed?

I'm just half seriously teasing spuriousmonkey with USSR time slogans, since he thinks that Latvians are "just some sort of Russians", and that the mods are nazis, and I didn't want to disappoint him. Maybe I got over the top, but it was fun.

 

The insults in journals are much more sophisticated, but there nonetheless.

Please provide a reference proving this statement.

How about it you just type "ALPHA" in the subject heading?
