what does that say? I am wrong with what I said or that I need to reword it?

The truth is like the sun gradfest, if you have fair skin, ware a shirt, but lets not make it about me being offensive.
Good post.

Science is not about "being nice". It is about whatever it reveals, even if it's ugly.

My moniker is not gradfest and I did not take offense to anything. This is a discussion forum not a lecture platform. If you are here all day and on every single thread you can expect some interaction. I do not know if you enjoy seeing your name at the end of every thread or what but it's everyday all day.

My apologies on the "d", I meant no disrespect. I have no idea why I keep putting that "r". thats just me being stupid.

I know what I don't know gabfest. When you can point out where I am wrong or what I say is incomplete I will be happy to talk about it.

Until then I will post on a public forum and you can keep gab festing.

You cite my post and post things that have nothing to do with what I've posted. It's like you just like to see your name posted up and down the forum on every thread. For example, what you responded with about Neil deGrasse had no bearing on evolution. It is a sterotype but that didn't stop you.

yup, this is standard for you. I always have to go back to the original post and start there with you. You pick some random middle point and add what you want.

My post about evolution and neil degrassie had nothing to do with stereo typing. You have to avoid talking about what is said ... and try and personally hit me.

I swear its like a college is running an experiment on how will people react if we ... "Gab fest them"

You cite my posts in order to state whatever it is you have your mind but it usually has no relevance to what I am posting. It's just you wanting to lecture.

So I didn't respond the way you wanted. I get that.

The de Grasse thing is spot on.

like I said, If I was running an experiment on how people respond ... yours is actually not a bad method for at least one type of interaction.
