> [@Trinopus](#): > > The vast majority of people who receive electricity in their home that is generated from nuclear power plants cannot define nuclear energy. :shrug: If someone came to a discussion board to argue that nuclear power exists, I would expect them to be able to define what they mean by “nuclear power” and to summarize the evidence in support of their position. If their argument were based on facts, logic, and evidence, that is. Of course “nuclear power” is pretty well defined (unlike “global warming”) but that doesn’t change the fact that people who make arguments need to define their terms and supply evidence. If their arguments are based on facts logic and evidence. And before you ask, I am happy to define my own terms and lay out the evidence in support of my position. Which in fact I have done in a lot of detail in a few blog posts elsewhere. By the way, **fat Hal** , I am still asking you to identify the poster I supposedly misquoted. Also, please give 3 examples of “disruption” for which there is “strong” evidence it is caused by global warming as you have defined it. And please summarize this “strong” evidence. Last time I will ask. ---

> [@TroutMan](#): > > We can only dream. Yes, a lot of people love to spout nonsense without anyone questioning them. **Trinopus** says I misquoted somebody. But he has yet to identify the person I supposedly misquoted or point to the posts in question. **Trinopus** says that there is “strong” evidence that global warming “causes disruptions of the world’s climate patterns.” But he won’t give me a single example of this “disruption” or summarize this “strong” evidence. Do you agree with his positions? ---

> [@Trinopus](#): > > Last time he will ask. Yep. You are unable to identify the individual I supposedly misquoted. Because you are lying about it and you know it. Nor are you able to provide the examples and summary of evidence I requested. I don’t engage with people who misrepresent me or refuse to answer reasonable questions about their position. Welcome to my shit list, **Hal** Goodbye, liar. P.S. Your dishonesty is also very likely the reason you are so fat. You can’t even be honest with yourself about what you eat. ---

Fat Hal said: " that there is strong evidence that global warming causes disruptions of the world’s climate patterns." Of course, everybody knows that… But did you know that…weather watchers make good cookies?🆒 ---

> [@Evil\_Economist](#): > > If you search on his username, he posts obsessively on boards devoted to hating fat people. Part of his mental illness is probably assuming that everyone who disagrees with him is fat. Wow. That’s really foolish. (It’s also relatively foolish to use the same login name across several debate boards.) I thought that perhaps he thought he had figured out my real name, and was throwing that at me. I almost played along with it. “How did you find my name! I’m reporting this to the admins!” But…nah. (Among other things, it could redound to the misfortune of the real Kal, whoever he is.) > [@Section\_Maker\_Jupe](#): > > Fat Hal said: " that there is strong evidence that global warming causes disruptions of the world’s climate patterns." > > Of course, everybody knows that… > > But did you know that…weather watchers make good cookies?🆒 Cocoanut Cumulus Crumble, and Cinnamon Cirrus Croissants! Yum! > [@TroutMan](#): > > Tread lightly. He might be one of those rubber people. If you’re glue, you could be up shit creek. It’s okay, 'cuz I called “Not It” at the start, plus it’s opposites day, so he’s smart and funny and wins first prize. Plus I hired Harvey Richards, Lawyer for Children, and he taught me “res ipsa loquitur, potty-mouth.” Now I get to hit him on the shoulder four times…and then get a restraining order to keep him beyond a half-mile radius. Life is good. ---

Part of his mental illness is probably assuming that everyone who disagrees with him is fat. That’s just fucking bizarre! Why “Hal” though? Some weird reference to _Shallow Hal_, the movie about the guy dating a fat woman? Some even weirder reference to _2001_? At bottom, there’s probably no benefit to trying to figure it out. It is brazil84, after all. “Fucked up in the head” is probably all the answer we will ever have. ---

> [@Hentor\_the\_Barbarian](#): > > At bottom, there’s probably no benefit to trying to figure it out. It is brazil84, after all. “Fucked up in the head” is probably all the answer we will ever have. Please provide three examples as to how he’s fucked up in the head. (_Personally, I can think of “racist”, “misogynist”, “troll”, “fucked up in the head” (redundant?), “fat hating”, all without doing any additional research. Of course that’s four, not three, therefore he isn’t fucked up in the head. Okay, I lied. He’s definitely fucked up in the head._) How do you define fucked up in the head? Failure to answer these questions to my satisfaction will result in me pretty much still knowing that **brazil84** is, indeed, fucked up in the head. Just for fun, let it be known that he has never used the quote function in his entire history of posting without misquoting the person. In fact, if it looks like he quoted them properly, he inevitably inserted some hidden characters, probably containing insults about fat people or, if responding to a female, asking her what business she has being on the computer and away from the kitchen.
