You don't.

And you do?

See this thread, which explains why I do and don't care to know how to reach User:Filll in an emergency.

What is strange is how these stigmas follow you around, Moulton.

If, as you (and your little sidekick, Klatu) say, the assertion that you stalk people online to find out their personal identity was false, isn't it strange that so many people... who have never met/posted together... on all these forums, over the span of several years... have made the exact same assertion.

What does Occam's Razor say about that?

Damn, you're boring, repetitive and dishonest.

Jeffersonian Model of Unalienable Rights

We hold these precepts to be discoverable, that all scholars are creative equals, that they are endowed by the architecture of their brains with certain unalienable rights, and that among these are 1) the right to engage in discovery learning by the scientific method and 2) the reciprocal right to remain utterly oblivious by the adoption of inscrutable methods as yet unexamined by modern science.

To demonstrate these alternatives, dramatic encounters arise, deriving their predictable scripts from the recurring anecdotes of human history.

Whenever any form of liminal social drama arises, it is the duty of the scholarly ethnographers to document and analyze it, and to derive new insights into the daunting challenge of promoting improved scientific scholarship.
I accept that many have elected to exercise their God-given right to remain oblivious.

It's Bela's unalienable right, and we have no option but to respect it.

Nope, as advertised, I ask questions people cannot answer.

So sometimes I ask them more than once, just to get the point across.

Which is why you are being dismissive, instead of refuting my point.

By the way, where have I been 'dishonest'?

Let's look at this, Moulton.

among these are 1) the right to engage in discovery learning by the scientific method


Sounds great. Sign me up. Huzzah for the Philosopher Kings! Yay for the Hight Priests!

and 2) the reciprocal right to remain utterly oblivious by the adoption of inscrutable methods as yet unexamined by modern science.


I've noticed that you have made full use of that right.

I suppose you employed right #1 a great deal in the workplace.

I've noticed that you stick to right #2 online.

I guess that is to protect yourself from findings you don't want to face?

True... sort of like you, getting banned from forum after forum, after you get on people's nerves and then retaliate when they ask you to please follow the forum social contract.

Frequently your next step is to try to take it off the web.

Seems like a very, very sad script to follow, but then, I guess it makes you the star, doesn't it?

You seek conflict.

Its been documented on the web for, what, a decade? You as 'vicious', as a 'fascist', an 'energy creature'.

You, constantly getting in fights, getting expelled from all these forums.

Masquerading as some sort of investigative social scientist may give you a patina of legitimacy, but really, you are drawn to conflict like a moth to flame, like a fly to...

I accept that many have elected to exercise their God-given right to remain oblivious. It's Bela's unalienable right, and we have no option but to respect it.


If I am the oblivious one, how come I am not banned from forum after forum, tarred and feathered and run out on a rail?

I am more likely to be asked to join as a co-host than I am to be banned.

Can you say the same?

No?

Help is right around Google corner. I'm sure you can adapt this to online posting:

Purina, Alpo Stocks Soar

By ALEXANDER HOAG, Associated Press Writer

12 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - upon news of the devastating losses in older Americans' retirement plans, shares of Purina and Alpo gained 120 and 98 points, respectively. News that seniors have collectively lost as much as $2 trillion have rocked the country.

"Fortunately, our seniors have something to fall back on when things get tight", said AARP spokesman Gladys Brownlow, "and you know, Alpo's New Roast Beef Flavored Prime Slices are convenient and low in sodium. My neighbor just made a bouillabaisse using Purina's Shrimp & Crab mixed in with some of their Tuna and Chicken.

AARP is planning to publish a "special" recipe books for its members.
