What's happening now is that mturner, as usual, is loudly demonstrating on
ARN that he is a clueless boob who knows nothing about science, yet pretentiously claims that he is better qualified than professional scientists. It is particularly frustrating because nobody can call him on his stark raving idiocy on ARN, so they are trying to do it here.
This I don't understand, pz: YOUR profile at ARN
indicates that YOU have been a member there since
FEBRUARY. Why can't you "call [mturner]on his
stark raving idiocy on ARN"????

In addition, Scientiae has been a member at ARN
since MARCH. Why can't HE call mturner on those
things at ARN?

Wyrdsmyth also has been a member at ARN since
March or so, so why can't HE "call" mturner on
those things at ARN?

Lizard is a LONGTIME member of ARN. Why can't SHE
call mturner about his ideas at ARN??

(There may be others who are double members---ie
members of both ARN and II but these are the ones
which come most readily to mind)

Cheers!

Tough cookies. He ran from the hard truth (that EAM is baseless bullshit) when he was here, ignored it at the Gynne Joynte, and comtinues to ignore it at ARN where he simply casts aspersions and whines - after admitting that he can't even read much less understand the actual science that defeats his postion.

Ignorance is not only bliss, it is also an incredible confidence and ego booster in the wrong hands.

Thank you.</strong>

Yeah, but.....


Here's how I see it:

Person X makes a statement.

Person Y corrects it.

Person X insults Y for 'daring' to correct the false claim.

Person X restates false claim.

Persons A, B, C, and Z all correct X in turn.

X insults, complains, and continues to reassert false claim.

Whats left BUT to bash?

Look here, len, and answer the question for yourself:

<a href="http://www.arn.org/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=13;t=000301" target="_blank">http://www.arn.org/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=13;t=000301</a>

Of course, turner's admitted scientific ignroance didn't stop him from posting this:

<a href="http://www.arn.org/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=13;t=000321" target="_blank">http://www.arn.org/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=13;t=000321</a>

He's like one of those yippy dogs. They just keep yipping...
