Thank you. That was the kind of substance I was looking for

...and the other participants in the question, lacking any level of expertise, could not and did not provide with their unproductive bullshit and sniping.

Which is one reason I was specifically asking you

"You start a conversation you can't even finish it.
You're talkin' a lot, but you're not sayin' anything.
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed.
Say something once, why say it again?"

I know, but merc just won't go away.

Because of Al Gore, I think.

Which is why you've decided to be worse than him, to try to balance things out.

So now we can't have any actual discussion.

At least he didnt tell me to take my social democratic ass across the pond.

Meh. You should try aiming your anger at the culprits, eh? And find your joke-o-lator. And piss off.

:yawn:

I was not aware that proof of expertise was required. Wouldnt that exclude most members from most discussions?

My mistake.

The experts may now carry on.

infinite monkey · 06-30-2011, 11:02 AM

Oh look, I SINGLEHANDEDLY RUINED the discussion in this thread.

RUINED. It's in RUINS.

ffs If I didn't know better I would think you were having some fun, too.

Run F&B. Humor and discussion are not welcome in this thread. RUN.

Yep, I can see how I did that. Shameful, me.

When merc is involved, there's no discussion, anyway.

Merc is worse. Merc is the turd in our swimming pool.

infinite monkey · 06-30-2011, 11:06 AM

See? I'm at least a step above a turd.

Look, this is really simple.

"why put the wind turbines there?" That's your question, minus the slander.

The answer is because that is where the wind is. Just like why put the dam there for hydro power, because that is where the energy IS to be had. Or why put the oil wells there, etc.

If you're asking why put two technologies in the same place, it is because that's where the energy is. I don't hear you asking why would we throw away billions of dollars for gas wells in a part of the country that is literally awash with oil wells.

I reject your simplistic baiting misleading question.

Wow. This is so obviously false that I hardly have to post to refute it.

Why bullshit so hard, man? Why is that your first instinct? I'm here calling you on bullshit and you defend your bullshit with more bullshit.

UT, your quarrel with him is his use of the word "Every"? Ok, subtract that, or substitute "many" or "most" or "lots of" or "significant" or "none" or "Papa Smurf"...

It's less productive to get stuck on rhetorical flourishes/deliberate lying/jesus can't we all get along /rodney king than it is to cut some slack for language and stick to the point.

Official score:

UT -- 1 / FB -- 0

The use of "Every" was wrong. Play on.
