Interesting that Fnord hasn't replied.

I think my responses derailed his former posts, but I don't think he is interested in a discussion, just a one-sided demonstration of his personal beliefs.

But where's the dynamism in that eh?!

... yet.


Not at all. There is just not very much for me to discuss with people whose belief systems have little or no basis in science.


Actually, I am interested in discussion of facts, not beliefs.


Only facts can be demonstrated; beliefs can only be shared.


Demonstration of facts are dynamic; sharing of beliefs is more static than dynamic.

But this thread is about how to tell if a man likes a woman, not about debating reality versus fantasy, so let's not derail it any further, okay?

Fnord;

My original post was indeed very much in-keeping with the OPs question.

YOU initiated this exchange when you challenged my use of the word ''Aura'', to which I gave a satisfying reply. You entered into a critical dialogue with me, and have continued to be somewhat nasty in tone, and condescending, especially in this last message.

I did not even disagree with your original dispute. It seems rather like picking a fight, your entire attitude here.

I plan to contact a moderator and tell them of your behaviour, because I actually think it constitutes bullying (the tone you have used, not the questions, which have been thoughtfully answered on every count). If they don't agree that's fine, but I'll run it by them.

My last post was in fact intellectually more rigorous and diverse than any of yours, and you have failed to acknowledge it and have accused me of merely speaking of ''fantasy'' ideas, which is clearly not the case, as would be obvious to the discerning or intelligent reader.

I have not posited once that I have any kind of personal belief system whatsoever, either solely scientific or otherwise, and neither have I said I disregard scientific thought or ideas.
I find this offensive, given the thoughtfulness of my replies. You are the one who cannot have a reciprocal discussion.
Perhaps the fact that I admitted that I have not received much formal education is what triggered your subtle provocations, which is indeed a shame, and discriminatory.

I have raised several interesting points that you have completely failed to respond to, which is bemusing.

I too have shared facts as well as beliefs; my posts are clearly and manifestly dynamic in this sense. More so than yours.

You must be bored and unhappy to need to subtlety provoke someone like this, and for a man of your age (50s/60s), this is a shame, and seems juvenile to me. Or maybe your brand of Aspergers makes you rigid and blinkered. Who knows.

If you have no desire to discuss anything non-science related with anyone, then why you are using this forum mystifies me, as much is discussed on here, in great variety, science-related and otherwise.
As is the case in life.

It must be difficult for you to relate to people, with that narrow requirement.

I agree, the thread has been derailed quite enough already.

Just a note:
If any of you have had enough of discussing with someone you can just say so and move on to address other members.

Its not something we can act upon unless the other person keeps trying to bring up the topic with you after youve made it clear that you are done discussing it.
Clear enough?
