> [@xtisme](#): > > Christ, why would I want to start ANOTHER thread about you or this subject? I can humiliate you in this one just fine, and you don’t rate high enough to want to start a Pit thread of your very one. I actually see this as the perfect reverse Pit Thread As I said, it is not only the quality of the cites that tells us where the poster comes from (our OP here just chickens out when we ask him just to report who are his sources or the serious forums that he claims to attend), but the direct evidence of his faculties comes from not doing anything with the evidence presented, he reports that various sources report on the dangers (what sources? They are a mystery even to FX it seems), but then he tell us that there is no single document to explain the danger levels of the radiation? As it turns out there are documents that do that, and the information is offered then in the thread, only to be ignored. And what about the implication that he is knowledgeable enough to do something with that table in that single document to report to us on the actual danger? Dream on, his mastermind is an special effect. So he may think he is not being humiliated, but in reality it is hard to run away from the many howlers he has spewed in this and other threads. Getting the admonishment of 2 moderators for insulting others and for trolling is not good at all. ---

> [@](#): > > The day began with company officials reporting that radiation in leaking water in the Unit 2 reactor was 10 million times above normal, a spike that forced employees to flee the unit. The day ended with officials saying the huge figure had been miscalculated and offering apologies. > “The number is not credible,” said Tokyo Electric Power Co. spokesman Takashi Kurita. “We are very sorry.” > A few hours later, TEPCO Vice President Sakae Muto said a new test had found radiation levels 100,000 times above normal — far better than the first results, though still very high. [http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/world/7493441.html](http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/world/7493441.html) The thing is, it can be 10 billion times normal, or 100 times normal, with out saying what normal is, it doesn’t mean much. What is the normal radioactivity of the water inside the reactor? ---

You have the audacity to ask about serious discussion in your first pit thread containing godzilla in the title, then start another, even more ridiculous? Lets say for a second that I value your opinion, which I can assure you that I do not. I’m really starting to believe some of you people on this forum could be case studies for sociological experiments. Just because you choose to indulge extremely one-sided opinions does not mean they are correct. Tell me, what does anybody need to learn about the nuclear industry that you or your half-baked “cites” thinks you already know? Who imparted you with the keys of nuclear physics and disaster preparedness knowledge dangling around your neck? Why should I take seriously the rantings of an individual who wears their stupidity on their sleeve? Answer: I shouldn’t, because anyone who is that far to one side or the other of a matter like this is whacked. You probably dream about nuclear winter in your sleep. People like you are weird not only because of your peculiarly stupid narrow-mindedness, but your propensity to not understand anything that doesn’t have the greenie tree-hugger liberal brand stamped on it. ---

Y’know, I can now longer find such a page either. I know it’s changed from time to time, but: You don’t get ads. Your location and post count are displayed in your posts. You can buy a custom title. Used to be, when subscriptions first came along, that you needed to be a member to search and to PM, but I think both have changed to allow guests to do so. I used to be a mod here, so I’m a permanent member (until I get banned), and I’ll leave it up to other posters to correct or amend me. Or link to the “values of a subscription” page. 😉 ---

> [@FXMastermind](#): > > Why yes, I do see it down there now. Good! Now–you’re gonna be really surprised here–we have rules about showing signatures. Have fun figuring them out! 😃 ETA: if you didn’t notice, if you change your signature, it changes it in all posts you have used it in. No more than four lines, no weird formatting/colors, and not more than once in a thread. (Though the latter, in an 1100 post thread, was not really enforced. Just not every post.)
