Why would I yell at my monitor? :confused:
Dude, you have some serious issues. And I honestly believe, that you don't respect anyone. I believe, you're the kind of person that would sell even his mother. Nihilistical guys like you with their pseudo-educated and pseudo-smart opinions and postures are at least as big a thread to a democratic society as a suicide bomber, you're just using a different outlet. And if you don't get, what I'm hinting at, read Habermas, Luhmann or Fraenkel. But they're probably all dumber than you anyway...
And stop pretending that you can read me over the internet, as if you're a mastermind of human thought and behaviour. Stop acting as if you're Dr. House or something. It's pathetic...and quite frankly annoying...
And like I once said, all the mistakes you find, you can keep. Present from the monkey to the fruitcake.

Habermas?

Wow. Just, wow.

Maybe you could get someone to help you reread the post, and figure it out. It's not too hard...

Actually, I respect most everyone, just not always the way they express themselves. But there are quite a few here I truly respect; just not you.
As for my mother, she died a few years ago, and of course I never tried to sell her. I loved and respected her, and I guess I need to report this post to the mods. You can't hold your own in a discussion, so you resort to insulting my mother. You're pathetic.:thefinger

Ok, I'm a suicide bomber...you really are losing your borderline objectivity. You aren't that hard to read, your posts give a clear view into your obvious admiration for yourself, misplaced as it is.
If you can't handle the forum, no one is keeping you here...post somewhere people will just adore your skewed logic and semantic tricks. Maybe some site where people don't know all those big words you use to hide your lack of sense and discipline.
It's frankly annoying ...:D

BTW...You Misspelled Nihilistic, threat, and behavior.

I'm sorry that your mother died, but I'm sure almost everybody here lost someone, I know I have. And you know exactly that that was a metaphorical statement and included no insult to you mother. For being so smart, you're very bad with rhetoric. And for being such an arrogant loudmouth, you're pretty sensitive.
And now the big shot is running to the mods, crying for help? So much for holding his own. You started this whole thing, 02-21-2009, 07:39 PM, http://board.freeones.com/showpost.php?p=2972896&postcount=25. This is your mess.

I remember that...you were telling people not to post in the thread if they didn't meet with your high standards. I quote...

"How about, if you have no idea who the guy is and on top of that nothing meaningful to say, you just say out of this thread?
I absolutely can't stand these fruitcakes, that have nothing of any value to say but just have to burb it into everyones face."

And lots more condescending tripe...

And I replied ...

"My butt itches...why is the "i" before "c"?

I like dark chocolate better than milk chocolate.

So, you are saying he's a left wing nut?

I like your avatar...it seems appropriate..."

My way of showing you that you can't tell anyone where and when to post what. Not your place...
And I remember you went apeshit, explaining this and that and claiming you aren't a native English speaker, blaa blaa blaa, and challenging me to a duel in Japanese...
Zing! Went right over your head.
So...you actually started whatever shit you're referring to...so full of your own importance and pseudo dignity that the joke went right over your pointed head. You've been sputtering indignantly ever since.

You tell the mods they aren't necessary to keep order...I can deal with your silly posts, but when you start talking about my family you are over the line, and the mods have that area. I don't cry for help, I render unto Caesar...
I don't care who you've lost, that area is out of bounds here. You used my mother to insult me, so take it like a man, as much as you can.
No backtracking; you're a whiny loser who keeps trying to win an insult fest...but you're the only one playing.

I don't tell the mods anything. And I explained the meaning of that statement to you. Obviously you're intellect ends there.

I give you my condolences for your mother and this is your reply? You brought the whole thing up. You are obviously nothing more than a desperate asshole.

You used my mother to insult me, so take it like a man, as much as you can.
And suddenly, he feels insulted. After insulting me over and over again, he claims the right to feel insulted? You really think you are that special, do you?
And you can shove your "take it like a man" up your youknowwhat, acting all tough over the internet. I've taken more in my life than you could handle, boy. I've really had enough of you.


No backtracking; you're a whiny loser who keeps trying to win an insult fest...but you're the only one playing.
Backtracking? Ok, whatever. And I'm not trying to win anything here and I didn't lose anything here either. This is not about winning or losing. And may I remind you, that you are the one answering to every post I make with nothing but unsubstantial insults and mockery. So who's the one that keeps playing? This is ridiculous. This is just about your pompous ego.

This guy gets into a lot of arguments. :dunno:

I just seem to recall a thread where he got angry and insulted me... or something. I don't remember. Let's move on.

V's post was full of big words and was hard to understand, but I got the jist of what he was saying, and I suppose I agree to a degree. To what degree, I don't know, I'm not even sure what I'm talking about.

i think the key telling point in your post is in your b.s. "lament" at the end of the post which seems to indicate that you feel superior to journalists.
No, I just expect at least one story -- I'll take one out of twenty -- to feature an expert who can talk about the specifics on why this launch was a joke even before it fired off the pad. And then the performance confirmed it. It doesn't take much for experts to explain things in layman's terms.

Carl Sagan excelled at it, and he was as smart as they come. Most people don't know him for his earlier, scientific breakthroughs. There are countless experts who can "bring it down" to non-expert speak in 60 seconds. In person, I excel at it myself (e-mail, forums, etc... are hardly a good means), or I would not be a good, technical consultant for non-technical people at all.

You see here, it wasn't that it "just failed." Things are rarely black'n white. People should understand that. It's that this had a 100% chance of failure, because the design was 100% sub-orbital. North Korea, like Iran, pries on the general ignorance of the masses.

They don't have space launch capability at all. Everyone knows it. This design was no different. If it was, then you would have heard people stating such well before the launch. This was clearly a sub-orbital launch system, incapable of escape velocity with any payload. I.e., there is a point where the mass of the vehicle itself makes it incapable, no matter how small the mass of the payload, it won't even reach escape velocity.

Which means this launch system has only one purpose, payload delivery from one point on the Earth to another point on the Earth. And that delivery is at multi-mach speeds, which means that only has one purpose -- weapons delivery.

Why the fuck can't the media explain that? Not just, "oh, it failed, we think it was military." Explain why it was 100%, undeniable, military. Just like Iran's enrichment program. Flat out technically detail why to say anything otherwise is just a flat out lie.

And ProfV posts to the insult of others ... ;)

From one geek to another: I often muse how many folks would have used "centrifugal force" instead :)
And I know several of my posts are an insult to the proper use of terminology by others. Sigh, I make way too many of those myself (especially when I'm tired).

PS: Prof, I heartily recommend XKCD. Very funny comic with a math/scientific bent...
Oh I'm well aware of xkcd and User Friendly and several others, although I never read them enough. Thanx for definitely "correcting me with style," once again. You definitely add 100x the value to anything I post! ;)

And you gave me a neg rep paired with a nice insult once again although this "argument" was already over. And you still wonder, why I can't stand you, if you keep neg reping me every opportunity you get?

just ignore him, shin. since i pointed out his lack of rep points he's been posting like a maniac in the "i'd give rep points to the member above me" thread in the games section in a desperate attempt at achieving parity with us because he truly seems to believe that his second-hand non-opinions will matter more to someone (exactly whom, i have no idea) if he has more points. sad is the only word one can use to describe that. don't waste any more time or effort on him.
