hah!

[RogueIce]

And even when I joined, the modus operandi was not the rather civilized discussion and sharing of views we have now

Wait, what? Is there some part of the board I don't go to that has this? (Aside from the private usergroups)

[adr-admin]

it's very civilized, insightful, and intelligent in news and politics

[Veef]

smartest board on the internet

[Zod]

smartest board on the internet

intellectual crucible

[Veef]

whazzat

[Zod]

whazzat

I was forged in the intellectual crucible of this board, and have a rather extensive knowledge base upon which I operate including formal training in biology, and somewhat less extensive formal training in philosophy and the social sciences. To claim I debate poorly based on nothing but your claim that is is such, is indeed to throw stones from a glass house.

[Veef]

so calling people shitheads makes you smarter?

[Bakustra]

so calling people shitheads makes you smarter?

you know how if you bench press and exercise your upper body strenuously for years and years, you eventually develop your leg muscles?

the mind works the same way

[adr-admin]

broomstick is generally pretty ok by me but holy shit she's long winded

she porcupines as bad as anyone on teo


(porcupining is my term for the sentence by sentence breakdown thing. use it. feed my ego. it comes from the analogy of the animal puffing out it's fur, both to scare a predator away and so if one takes a bite, he just gets a mouthful of useless needles instead of a nice, meaty argument)

[timmy]

That is some good quality analogy and quite applicable in this case.

[Zod]

broomstick is generally pretty ok by me but holy shit she's long winded

except when she says she doesn't need to provide evidence of stuff

or when she dismisses someone's educational qualifications because they only have a bachelor's degree and tries telling them how to do their job

or she pretends to be a lot more knowledgeable than she really is or goes off on weird tangents totally unrelated to the topic

[adr-admin]

yeah

i just find some of the weird tangents and shit interesting sometimes

[Zod]

yeah

i just find some of the weird tangents and shit interesting sometimes

not when 90% of them are "I'm poor!"

[Aaron]

Didn't she go to art college or something?

[Zod]

idk but telling someone with a bsc in aerospace that he shouldn't call her a know nothing idiot over the internet because he had to deal with office politics pretty much sealed the deal on her being an arrogant twat

especially when she backed down once mike jumped in

And yeah, i was confusing AlphaNazi and Shadowdragon. Both are still idiots, though.

What?

there was a space shuttle thread on slam and she started calling nasa dudes idiots for simply not building thicker shuttle plating

howedar (i think) called her an idiot that doesn't know what she's talking about and she started whining that he should be nice to her since he has to be nice to people at work

then she started mocking him for just having a bachelor's. it went downhill from there

really hilarious stuff though

And which discipline of engineering is her doctoral work in?

[adr-admin]

yea, we talked about that in one of the old pussies thread too

pretty ridiculous shit. but howedar is a fucking asshole too. he reminds me of thanas


someone: "blah blah blah"

one of them: "Wrong, idiot."


and that's it. no explanation on why, not even listing their own qualifications; it's like they assume everyone knows them.


tbh it pisses me off most because if i do a one line dismissal like that, i'm actually bluffing more often than not, so i assume they are doing the same.

[starku]

If broomstick ever said anything interesting ever under a blue moon people wouldn't just ignore her

Ps thanks is famous for his 'fact fact fact, believe me because I say so' style, remember

^ This, although I will generally cut some slack if the particular question is related to somebody's line of work. I know I'm always SO happy to fix a relative's computer when work is done.

[starku]

Nobody forces you to give advice on the Internet

Or, y'know, pretend you know jack about shit like broomstick
