People tried to show him how many ways he was wrong, but he kept trudging right along with his ridiculous medical theory. While posters continued to give him the benefit of the doubt (just figured he was a stupid idiot), I’m pretty sure he was posting that as a loyal Trump ass-licker, trying to play down the seriousness of the disease so that the Trump administration’s inept response won’t seem quite so awful.
Now, he’s pushing theories about light and particles that have been disproven for over a century:
I called him out in my idiotic Trump supporters thread, but I think his contributions to General Questions deserve their own thread.
Question for the board: If someone is that wrong in GQ, is that reportable? It seems like a flat-earther coming into a GQ about whether the Earth is a perfect sphere or just an oblate spheroid (or whatever it is) should be banned from the thread.
Since this is the pit, I should add: darn, shoot, dagnabbit!
Jim Peebles. Oh, right. A poster on the SDMB. I thought that you where talking about a Republican Senator. Pretty much the same I guess. I stopped giving any of them any consideration about 2 years ago.
Based on my experience, if a person comes into a GQ thread that hasn’t received a real answer and pushes an ignorant guess or crazy pet theory that can be subject to warning. It’s like replying to a question with a joke; you wait until the answer is in the thread before getting silly.
But I don’t think posting incorrect information in general is disallowed nor should it be. Fighting the ignorant is part of fighting ignorance. It’s helpful to see misinformation corrected in GQ. That’s one of its purposes.
Of course if a person persists in pushing things after being told their views are flawed, that can be sanctioned. I’ve seen plenty of people banned from the site for that. It only comes after a pattern is established and they have ignored previous warnings.
I’m no mod of course and the above is my opinion based on what I’ve seen here so I may be incorrect. Oh, and clearly Jim Peebles is a chronic fuckwit. Ether? Really?
Well, the one you mention is an astrophysicists and so could be expected to reply to a thread about light moving. I suspect the physicist’s answer may be different from our local idiot’s.
In this fascinating thread he is disturbed that some state governors are clamping down on chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine (the subject of his OP) because as is well-known by now it’s a therapy of choice for Covid-19 (see his Post #9).
ETA: I think there may be a Darwin Award awaiting, with this guy’s name on it.
What’s with all the right-wing idiots so concerned about Democratic Governors impinging on their “freedom” by trying to contain the epidemic? Are these the same idiots that oppose mandatory vaccines?
If Gun & Ammo shops offered free delivery, would their objections to Stay-at-Home go away?
I came back her to post that thread that Senegoid posted. I have to say, JP is actually stupider than I gave him credit for. He’s not just an idiot, he’s a dangerous idiot.
I know that people were stupidly accused of worshiping Obama back in the day, but this guy actually seems to hang on every word our Dr. Orange says. He firmly believes that that drug mixture works based on Trump’s say-so, from what I can tell. What a fucking idiot.
Does he post non-idiotic things in Cafe Society or the Game Room? Or, is he all idiocy, all the time?
If you watch it only flows out of one ear but if you don’t watch, you can tell by the interference pattern that it flowed out of both ears simultaneously.
