And yet again, I never once said they did no research, nor did I say they had never published. Please, if it’s not too much trouble, look at what I actually write, rather than what you wan t to see to score points.

**andros,** come on. How can you really imagine I’m trying to score points here? I’m about the most in-your-face- person outside of **Dio**. I’m not here to score points, make friends or pad my post count, as everyone tells me.

I look at what everyone writes, and I’m not alone in misinterpreting posts; I’m constantly beseiged by people who tell me what I said (when I said something totally different). Now you owe me the apology – assuming I’m trying to score points! Look at this whole thread! How can you assume I’m trying to score points?? For what? From whom??? Get real.

What I want to see? No. It’s what I see. I often have a hard time figuring out what people are saying. I just do the best I can.

Glee is a high level black belt martial artist. Not only does that mean that he isn’t hiding from you, it means that he has the self-control to refrain from stooping to your level.

**And that’s my point.** See, my specious and silly attack on you was no more specious and silly than your attack on **glee**. Get it?

If you realize you have a hard time figuring out what people mean, why act like an asshole about it, instead of figuring out what it is they mean?

First thanks to all the pleasant people who posted here!

Now to Snakespirit.

Here is a post you made in the ‘dry spots’ thread, also in the Pit:

(The above is post 206 if that helps.)

I know that Peter Morris sprays allegations around without any evidence or cites.  
Since you stated above that you did agree with him, I thought **you** might be able to provide a cite instead.

My post was 236.  
I left one ‘quote’ off, although it was perfectly obvious what I meant.

Instead of providing cites, you produce an over the top response.

So what is your evidence that Randi:

- talks a load of hogwash
- gives wrong scientific information
- lies about dowsing tests
- is unlikely to test fairly
- makes it nigh-impossible to negotiate a protocol?

Well, thanks for showing up. I was beginning to think you were avoiding us.

Although \*to you \* it was perfectly obvious what you meant, to a third party it looks like I was the author of those phrases, which is a falsehood. If I did something like this to you, you’d have a conniption fit.

So now that you admit you made a misattribution, are you saying that the misattribution was an accident? Or are you saying it was deliberate?

Answer my question and I’ll answer yours.

Who’s “us?” In case you hadn’t noticed, everyone posting here thinks you’re an idiot, at best.

First of all, people mistake who said what all the time on the boards. Probably happens every day, somewhere on the boards. It’s a commonplace error. Secondly, there’s no reason for glee to lie. She stands to gain nothing by it. Thirdly, there’s no way she’d get away with it. The post she quoted from is right there in that thread, with someone else’s name on it. If she had some nefarious, pit-worthy reason to try to fool people into thinking you’d said something you hadn’t, she’s going to get caught, no matter what. You’d have to be pretty stupid to think that would work.

> But then, that’s your speciality, isn’t it?

So let’s see your evidence, lonely idiot SnakeSpirit\*, for your allegation about third parties. Even people who have no interest in the thread know what happened!  
Anyone wading through the thread would see the discrepancy between posts 206 and 236.

\*a new name for **you** , to save time. Whenever people see a contribution by you, they will instantly realise what it’s worth.

But of course **you** have run into trouble here at the SDMB.

We are here ‘to stamp out ignorance’.  
That’s a perfect definition of your level of knowledge. :rolleyes:

We ‘like a cite’.  
You agreed with a load of unfounded allegations about James Randi. Most of them were refuted by a link I made earlier in the thread. But you’re too f\*cking stupid to notice. :wally  
For the rest, we await your ‘evidence’.

I can just picture the scene at your computer (using my PSI powers, which curiously have been unaffected by suggestion):

Slowly tracing each word on the screen with his finger, and mumbling it aloud, lonely idiot SnakeSpirit finally realises that his pathetic waffle about a misattributed\*\* cite has been overwhelmingly\*\* refuted.  
(\*\*for the benefit of third parties, I am not for one moment suggesting lonely idiot SnakeSpirit knows what these words mean)

Lonely idiot SnakeSpirit ‘thinks’ for a long time, dribble coming out of his mouth.

What can he do? There is nothing to back up his rudeness to Randi.

He ‘thinks’ for a long time, dribble coming out of his mouth.

Ooooh! (A stray thought has finally entered the cavernous emptiness that is lonely idiot SnakeSpirit’s skull.)  
What if **instead of answering** , he asked if Glee **meant** to make the mistake.  
Lonely idiot SnakeSpirit dances with joy. :eek:  
At last those bigheads on the SDMB will feel the might of lonely idiot SnakeSpirit’s intellicked … interlinked … interHannibalLecter …

He ‘thinks’ for a long time, dribble coming out of his mouth.

Finally he leans forward, one finger hovering above the keyboard for ages before descending. Sweat covers his brow and he bites his lip in concentration.  
Yes!  
Lonely idiot SnakeSpirit has typed a single letter.

He ‘thinks’ for a long time, dribble coming out of his mouth.  
Soon it will be time to type another letter.

As soon as his mind stops wandering…
