Why was PhysicsForums.com so lame? (in 2004)

I've been there, it is rather boring and dull. The moderators apparently do not tolerate differences in opinion and expect of their members to be obedient clumps of clay for their own molding and sculpting. They lack the ability to discuss many things and appear confined and lame...limited in their ability to think.

To make matters worse, they have started a thread about the Sciforums:

http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=13846

where they criticize these forums, saying that the members are rude, that we are allowed to swear, and other garbage. I find the moderators there to be very rude, small-minded, petty, arrogant, and considering themselves more important then they really are,; note that moderators there both started this slanderous thread and carried on with it.

You can not have a good conversation with these people. They will tell you what you HAVE to think and how and if you don't you get banned. That is lame, it sucks, it is pathetic.

The members here may be rude at times, but they are able to discuss a much wider array of topics and speak much more honestly then there, where speech is confined and limited. What does not saying crap or fuck have to do with physics...really? Limited sissy talk...blah.

And then they compare, self-proclaiming their forum as the best forum on the internet...so I am comparing in return. I rate the Sci forums a 10 (on a scale of 1 to 10), a fun place with diverse members and opinions which is far more open minded then the physics forums...which I rate a -10 for sucking ass as much as they do.

I'll give it to them they have a collection of physics...that is as far as it goes. The sci forums also have physics, but many other scientific categories too. The moderators here do not ban people so loosely, and though they are strongly opinionated, they listen and communicate and accept that the members do not need to think like they do, which is apparently a requirement for remaining a member at the physics forums...conform or be banned. BS!

The thread on that board is 5 years old. I clicked on the link, and moths actually started flying out of my computer.

Why complain about it here and not there?

I missed the moths...too many mothballs in my computer...thanks!

I would bring this up there, except I'd be promptly banned in no time...plus the boringness of that place might...bore me. I guess since they aren't currently debasing the sci forums, I won't concern myself with defending the sci forums. Still, those forums are painfully boring.

Because their jokes are like this?

(puts hand on forehead to ease the pain...)

Was that really a joke...

what a joke that joke was...

lame...

 

The physicists would be rolling in the aisles/

 

Then just don't go "there".

They do not come to other forums and express their angst over what is being said in them, do they?:shrug:

 

No. Though they did debase the sci forums 5 years ago...as that link reveals...

And...no...I don't go there...I've BEEN there...that was enough...

 

Help...

I wonder what BentHeman might think of that one???

 

Now that was funny.

I thought "Bent Heman" was kinda funny. It makes me think of the Masters of the Universe.....except sorta hunched over

 

Here's the latest physics forum joke.

Q How many Time Lords does it take to change a light bulb?
A None, because Gallifrey no longer exists.
:yay:

 

Shouldn't it be "one to hold the bulb, the other to turn the universe"?

Actually, I lol'ed at the Entropy joke.

But I like physics, I find it fascinating... but I am very much an observer and I like to learn about it because I'm not knowledgeable enough to actually discuss physics theorem.

 

lol !

 

Q Which element do right wing Christians hate?

You display a glaring ignorance of science.
There is no room for opinion when it comes to physics, by definition.

 

Strictly speaking, that's true of course.
To be more precise, I was referring to physics as a methodological process.
While differences in opinion with respect to which hypothesis and/or theory one wishes to adhere to may occur, invariably, the approach to verification remains more or less constant.
