Y'know, I'm not in it to make friends, or any personal connections - the option of being abstract and blunt is more valuable to me than virtual backpatting, and I blow it all off on principle - after seeing a BandarLog cadre form in the wrong on something, one flinches from imitation. But when worthwhile posters abandon the place because they feel surrounded by "racists and cranks", it occurs to me that I am maybe doing a poor job of surrounding. I never gave Billy T a single compliment or "like" or anything, or PhysBang either, and this thread has brought me to a pause for reconsideration.
And administrator(plasma inferno) is silent also. He is not posting new threads but I don't know why Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Don't worry about mods, they have lots of socks ( Rpenner I guess is an exception). Plasma is probably busy with his. Yes, I'm back, this time round I'm not expecting much by way of interesting science threads.I really don't like saying it but that's how iIm viewing this place now... Pitbull like.
Hmmm !! At first I thought brucep was busy also with himself and he will come back again, but it seems paddoboy already changed my guess.
Just in case anyone else was puzzled. It took me a while to work out the meaning of rpenner not having any socks. Not rpenner wears sandals (a possibility though) but no sockpuppets.
brucep was simply sick of the trolls, god botherers, cranks and the many assorted nuts that was infesting the forum at this time;
Given brucep's last few posts before his departure... I think Paddo has hit the nail squarely on the head!
Funny, I seem to recall the many times you are referring to or praising or resurrecting some hypothesis from the "Ancients" Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
But you should know this pad. Simply I liked paddoboy's post because a human should sick of trolls, cranks etc and I think Bruce is not a simple AI but human.
I remember Bruce said he use to surf or still does... I think his out there trying to catch those gravitational waves.
