What's your point? The discussion between those two is in several other places other than the thread referenced here, and goes back a ways, as I recall. Sometimes people are angry and sometimes there not, etc.
Of course people become angered, but it's how they
act that's the mark of them.
'"Maybe you never had a real job and had to work with real data to make real forecasts that had to satisfy real clients to make real money....".
That's D'Aleo. And there's the point. Sarcastic and puerile.
More than a hint of fury. And really bad tactically. There's a lot to be said for the Delete key.
Tamino's demolition of D'Aleo is clear, concise and devastating. In one recent blog post. If the exchange has been going on a while, why is D'Aleo still so angry? Tamino isn't. Tamino's in his comfort-zone - he knows he's right, because he knows
why.
You're not in your comfort-zone which is why you've clung to D'Aleo's qualifications, not his argument. You've attacked Tamino - D'Aleo's responses "can't exist", remember? - not the argument. Perhaps you can't
follow the argument, or are too scared to find out what it is.
Which was why I said "just inconsistency" and tried to bring a few quotes to show that.
You avoided science, statistics, anything to do with the subject, and clung to blog policies. Are you quite sure you wouldn't be more comfortable in the
Politics or
Conspiracy Forums?
Philosophy, even?
I wonder what happens to unanswered things in posts I make also....
Such as? I respond to many things you post (it amuses me) and you mostly ignore me, moving on. You seem to have this illusion that
you dictate the course of the conversation, and you really don't.
Well, let's see. Sometimes sidetracks are not taken because they are sidetracks.
Sometimes they're pointed out. Like when in Arctic summer
you want to talk about the Antarctic, and when the subject turns to the Antarctic you want to talk about last summer in the Arctic. Or the Medieval Warm Period, whatever.
You must be simply
jonesing to post a picture of Al Gore. Go ahead and indulge yourself, you've more than proved that particular point.
Sometimes questions do not look interesting. Etc. Anyone is welcome to restate or repeat something if they think it is important, of course.
fsol responded to what
you thought worth saying in the first place. You ignore his response. Why? Maybe it wasn't interesting in the first place. Or maybe you've realised you have no response. I favour the latter, unsurprsingly.
Your wriggling has become a subject of interest
in itself. So at least you've made that much of a mark on the world.
