> [@Vahid\_Tarzan](#): > > Mod, you are illogical. You closed a perfectly good thread with much too say. Let me refresh your memory. I said: [quote=“Gary “Wombat” Robson, post:8, topic:593167”] If you have something to say, **Vahid** , say it. If not, I’ll just close this down. [/QUOTE] And you responded with: > [@Electromagnet Artifical Intelligence](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/electromagnet-artifical-intelligence/593167/14): > > I’m not ready for Electromagnetic as I have other things to do. Sorry. If you are too darned busy to discuss the chosen subject of your own thread, then we’re too darned busy to waste time on you. And just in case you still haven’t found it, read this thread and all three of the ones it links to: “[FAQs - Please Read First - Rules, Guidelines, Etiquette, Technical Issues](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=562482).” And listen to what the other people in this thread are saying. When you’re in a hole, it’s a good idea to stop digging (unless, of course, you’re a well digger). ---
