What gives with rat avatar?

Bye, Felicia.

For me, that segued into another video called:

How Microwaving Grapes Makes Plasma

It’s pretty cool.

@septimus

…he seemed to think absolute-zero temperatures were relevant

@rat avatar

You didn’t even use a closed system, ignored what “microstates” were and even ignored kinetic energy

@septimus

Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.

Gawd, I love it when physics nerds get into a pissing match.

How about those culinary nerds? Vicious put-down of the year so far:

(If a mod is willing feel free to disable my account, and thank you for all of your hard work in the past)

I’m just curious how you could be so ignorant about how the board works after so much time here. If you want to stop posting, just stop posting.

The moderators are not responsible for the information posted here. We are merely referees. If posters believe information posted by others is incorrect, it’s up to them to present evidence to refute it.

We do not “disable” accounts. You may be suspended or banned for cause. For what reason do you think you should be suspended or banned? In some cases, we may put posters “on sabbatical” at their own request because they feel they lack enough self control to keep from posting here voluntarily. If you feel that’s the case for you, send a request to a mod.

Was it the one about slavery not being that bad? His entire argument was based on his understanding of human nature, and he apparently neither knew nor cared that there had been actual, you lnow, accounts and scholarship. It was bizarre.

Note: I fucked up. The thread I was thinking about was about Sage Rat. Everyone carry on.

You’ve seen one rat, you have seen them all?

I simple skip Sage Rat’s posts. He makes assumptions which he pulls out of his ass and spends forever over analyzing them.

That’s rude! Can’t you see rat avatar is hurting? Try empathy for a change. Even if you have to fake it.

Potty Mouth!!! :mad:

@rat_avatar

I don’t know how to delete my account on here,

But thanks for this pit.

While I am sad that the dope has reduced to a level where “fighting ignorance” isn’t the main goal, and moderators admit that they aren’t willing to help people learn why they are wrong there are resources to do so…

I’m sincerely sorry to hear this and regret that you are leaving. I think you do have much to contribute.

If you had prefaced some of your posts with, e.g.
This is unrelated to whatever point septimus is trying to make, but may be of interest …
I wouldn’t have objected to your posts, and I might have had the opportunity to learn. Or, as a rhetorical device you might have emulated Galileo’s Dialogue and invented a hypothetical “strawman” called Simplicio. But instead you insist on misconstruing what someone else has written. Be charitable — don’t assume that a fellow Doper is as ignorant as imaginable.

Perhaps I see this fault because I am also often guilty of it. In future let’s review the debate carefully before clicking Submit. If it’s convenient to debate a strawman, let’s call him “Simplicio” rather than falsely imputing the views to a fellow Doper.

Why do you hate poor dear Simplicio?

That’s not it works, Tardy Smurf. What happened to your normal unhinged posts full of random links and random urban dictionary terms interspersed with weird accusations? Are your meds partially working now? If so, kudos to your doctors.

[Sunny_Daze]

Drunky’s always made more sense than you do.

[k9bfriender]

@octopus

If so, kudos to your doctors.

Oh wow, I didn’t even know they made thoseanymore.

I honestly can’t remember. I can only recall that his post to me was unexpectedly aggressive and based on a tortured reading of my words.
