Honestly, Honesty

It’s pretty clear that he misrepresented Honesty’s claims. That’s strawmanning, and he won’t stand for it. Obviously he had no choice but to add himself to his ignore list.

Yeah, but all that means is he doesn’t read his posts after writing them. I don’t see how that’s any different than before.

4 years ago I posted this observation of his behavior:

"He is like the Nowhere man from Yellow Submarine:

Ringo: Were your notices [from others] good?

Jeremy (Nowhere Man): “It’s my policy never to read my reviews.”"

That’s it. I give up. I’m going to start calling you Hydrophobic Horse. We can lead you to water, but…

Don’t just be bluffing on the giving up part. Do it. SAVE YOURSELF.

Doesn’t ignoring oneself violate one of the Zermelo axioms? It certainly violates SDMB policy: I’ve found it appropriate several times but only get
“We can’t help you ignore yourself.”

(That’s more or less what my psychiatrist was trying to tell me, I think.)

…he’s rabid, and needs to be put down for his own good?

I was hoping somebody would pick up on that.

My, and I hadn’t opened this thread before now figuring it would just be smiling bandit doing an unintentional self pitting only to discover brazilnut has turned it into a pitting of himself. I find it quite amusing that five years later he still has his blog with his rules of debate and the enemies list of SDMBer’s whom he’s ‘banned’ from the interwebs who he’s banned so thoroughly as to delete their names from history, only referring to them as the poster known as “*******”. Any remotely sane person would have deleted the blog out of sheer embarrassment of the childish stupidity of it by now.

Suit yourself – I note you haven’t denied that what Honesty said in the previous thread was dead wrong.

Also, nobody can reasonably deny that there is a major difference between the following claims:

(1) Mutations in the genetic code don’t always translate into changes in the protein.

(2) Differences in the genetic code do not result in changes in proteins except for unusual situations resulting from infection-induced bottlenecks.

If you had the slightest amount of intellectual honesty you would, at a minimum, admit that what Honesty said in the previous thread is different from what you have said he said.

But obviously it’s more important to you to be one of the popular kids on an internet message board. To “profit” as scabpicker would say.

“Koolaid-Phobic Horse” would be more appropriate.

You have failed to provide a citation that Honesty made such a claim. The citation you have provided did not include that claim, and in fact did not include any untrue statement. We await evidence that such a claim exists.

I do not engage with this poster do to his past conduct. In case Paranoid Randroid is curious, what happened is that, among other things Smeghead asserted that I had “abused the scientific method.” However he refused to provide the particulars of what exactly I had supposedly done and why it was “abuse” in his view.

I have no interest in engaging with people who simply assert conclusions.

And **Smeghead **joins the exclusive club!

Dang, it is getting crowded in the lobby! :smiley:

What Honesty said in the previous thread wasn’t wrong, you fucking idiot. She was talking about haplogroups, which are based on differences in mutations which are not believed to be under selection. Her statement was correct. And she didn’t say what you are pretending she said.

You’re not only too stupid to understand the argument, you’re too stupid to understand why she’s right and you’re wrong.

Being called stupid by you is like being called short by a Munchkin.

I do not engage with this poster. In case Paranoid Randroid is curious as to why, here is what I said in a previous thread:

Oh my god, I’m dying over here. The irony is so thick, I won’t have wrinkles for a year.

How do you feel about people who hide behind imagined personal slights to avoid having to confront arguments that prove them wrong?

Coward.

QFT, As one can see from his previous reply, he is even unaware how how wrong he is about me, and no, this is not false modesty, at least on the subject of Global Warming more than one scientist has told me that I do get it right, and the willful brazilian nut, the Nowhere Man, is not even getting help from Ringo. :stuck_out_tongue:

The funny thing was that I was really only marginally annoyed with Honesty in any case, and managed to accept that his/her/its style just really irritates me and there’s nothing to do about it. I had kinda forgotten this thread existed. It’s sort of grown - mutated as it were - into a horrible beast with three heads and slimy green skin.

Christ Jesus, smiling bandit, you suck. You start a pit thread without backing up jack shit, and then conveniently ignore it. If this episode is any indication, paying any attention to you is a waste of goddamn time.
