Quote from: wizer on Today at 07:21:19 AMThe forum lags because of either poor coding or the ShoutBox, or both.

Nothing to do with one particular poster.

I thought it was obvious I was being facetious.

Around here it's sometimes hard to determine, I mean there's folks here that think oil is created in a day, and that there's no such thing as global warming due to climate change.

I assume nothing,.

And there are even Kool Aid guzzlers who think we are running out of oil and wind and solar are sustainable.

You get all kinds in this particular medium.

The lack of knowledge and common sense on this forum is stunning.

But you did provide a perfect example of why I took you to be serious when you suggested that Aryan's posts are the reason the forum is so damn slow.

I assume you are still smarting because you lost the hydrocarbons are running out argument in Forum Problems. Don't sweat it. You would not be the first. They are people here that currently or had worked in natural resources.

I'm not the least bit surprised that individuals who spent much of their lives working in the field of natural resources don't know jack shit about natural resources.

What you really meant to post is that you don't like getting your ass handed to you on a topic you know jack shit about.

If it makes you feel better I am sure you would win any future optometry debates.

Now you're talking directly to me, right?

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on November 06, 2025, 04:24:02 PMgood of you to see the bigger picture, friend. and we can have neither in our movement. the stakes are too damn high.

i just don't see a need for in-fighting.... if we can agree on a "problem" theres no reason to squabble over details.... rational discussion can solve everything else.... we all have our own set of prejudices and preferences.... it would be insane to try to hold you to mine....

Quote from: MrNiceGuy on November 06, 2025, 05:59:39 PMEven not a widespread problem is still a problem.

"scale" is their only defense on most issues.... such as transgenders.... they argue that we don't need to "set standards" on gender and such because it only affects such a small number of ppl....

I'm crying in my organically sourced soy almond latte, you bigot.

that was quality television.... "i can't answer to that because i don't know what he said.... and quite frankly, i don't think he knows either"....

Oh I see. You're doing that thing where you repeat the old "I win and you lost" enough times that you actually belief it. In marginal clueless morons such as yourself, once is more than enough.

Quote from: Aryan on Today at 06:15:37 AMYou've seen him ignore my posts about Culture of Critique and the 109 expulsions, he refuses to listen, it makes no difference whether the information is correct or not.

maybe its your "introduction".... have you ever tried subtlety? have you ever tried gently working it into the conversation? you can't just "post a lot of shit" and call anyone who asks you about it "a jew shill".... you've got to have a rational discussion.... especially when you're trying to bring in "new information".... these folks have never had conversations like this before.... watch this video.... its pretty good.... might help you....

I'm not having any problems with the speed of the Shoutbox.....hmmmm.

Quote from: DKG on Today at 07:18:52 AMAre you still sulking over Biggie because he pointed out your lack of self esteem. Be a man and get over it. Your endless supply of tears are taking up too much of our bandwidth.

TOLD!
