  1. Alan,

    Spin and more spin!

    That’s yet another lie, making you look even worse.

    Learn to cut your losses, Alan.

  2. They’re true. You’ve got a serious lying problem, Alan.

    You’ve been shitting all over TSZ for far too long. Earlier, I wrote:

    Alan:

    Sure. On the other hand, if you intend to persuade someone on a point of disagreement, mocking them is likely to prove counter-productive. This has long been my issue with Keiths’ posting style.

    Alan,

    If I were looking for advice on persuasion, I’d ask someone who was good at it.

    If you genuinely wanted to make TSZ a better place, you’d address your own problems — the immaturity, the lying, the refusal to admit mistakes, the abuse of moderator privileges — instead of chastising others for mockery, which when done properly is an entirely appropriate way of criticizing others’ views and highlighting their flaws.

  3. If that were true, you’d be able to refute it. You can’t.

    It could be amusing to watch you try, though.

    Let’s see you explain how your quote mine wasn’t really a quote mine.

  4. walto,

    But only 28% of his were dickish, compared to 73% of your own. You win!!

    Oh, please. No one outdicks Mung. Except maybe phoodoo.

  5. keiths: Let’s see you explain how your quote mine wasn’t really a quote mine.

    Seems to me you should support your assertion that something you claim is a quote-mine is a quote-mine.

  6. Alan:

    Stop dodging. I already did:

    During our discussion, which was here at TSZ, you actually quote mined yourself in a failed attempt at hiding a mistake you had made. Follow my link — I expose your quote mining at the end of my comment.

  7. keiths, to walto:

    Oh, please. No one outdicks Mung. Except maybe phoodoo.

    Alan:

    Well, there are other candidates.

    True. I apologize for leaving out you and Gregory.

  8. keiths: Stop dodging. I already did:

    Nope. You’ve hurled out some wild accusations that you fail to support.

  9. keiths:

    And I accept your apology. You distribute your demonization of people you disagree (the word seems inadequate) with fairly widely. With apologies to Gregory, do you think you are at all persuasive in bringing folks around to your way of thinking (in as much as that has yet become clear)?

  10. Alan,

    Nope. You’ve hurled out some wild accusations that you fail to support.

    You do realize that anyone who actually checks can see that you’re lying through your teeth again, right?

  11. keiths:

    The fact that folks are able to look back and form their own opinions without the need for your spin is quite reassuring.

  12. The fact that folks are able to look back and form their own opinions without the need for your spin is quite reassuring.

    It shouldn’t be. The evidence convicts you.

  13. keiths: The evidence convicts you.

    No. Conviction is a guilty verdict in a court of law. First you need to make a coherent accusation. You’re fond of the lying stuff but light on specifics. Then we need to have a trial. A fair process where evidence is presented and tested. Then the evidence is considered to produce a verdict. But you seem to have no problem with being jury, without the need for judge or trial. Spin loudly and persistently enough and you’ll win. Like Trump (at least for the moment*).

    *I hope!

  14. Alan,

    This is a blog, not a court. Each reader can examine the evidence and decide for him or herself.

    Since you’ve lied yourself into a corner and are now trying to lie your way out, let’s have some fun. (Well, fun for me, anyway.)

    Tell us why you took this incorrect statement of yours…

    …and the ultimate power source is air moving differentially than the cart.

    …and truncated it at just the right spot…

    …and the ultimate power source is air moving…

    …to make it appear, falsely, that you were right all along.

    That’s a sleazy move. As I noted:

    That’s not right. The key is the air’s motion relative to the ground, not its motion relative to the cart.

    Come on, Alan. Quotemining yourself is just as dishonest as quotemining someone else.

    So not only did you quote mine yourself — you’re now lying about it. You’re a real bottom feeder, Alan.

  15. It’s ok for keiths to change his posts, but God forbid that anyone else do so. What a hypocrite.

  16. I don’t object to the mere changing of posts, Mung. That’s precisely what the edit window is for: fixing formatting errors, correcting typos, rewording something to make it clearer, etc.

    You’ve had a rough couple of days, and you’ve humiliated yourself pretty badly, especially with the Houston business. Why not take a break, let the sting subside, and come back when you’re a bit less agitated?

  17. keiths: I don’t object to the mere changing of posts, Mung. That’s precisely what the edit window is for: fixing formatting errors, correcting typos, rewording something to make it clearer, etc.

    And yet you did object when I edited one of my posts. And you were invited to show that my edit was not for fixing a formatting error, correcting a typo, rewording something to make it clearer, etc. And you declined to do so.

    You sir, are a hypocrite. 🙂

    But you already knew that.

  18. Mung,

    If you insist on whining about this, then link to the actual event so we can talk specifics.

    I still think my advice is better:

    You’ve had a rough couple of days, and you’ve humiliated yourself pretty badly, especially with the Houston business. Why not take a break, let the sting subside, and come back when you’re a bit less agitated?

  19. keiths: If you insist on whining about this, then link to the actual event so we can talk specifics.

    What specifics? You had your chance, and you failed. Now you just look like a hypocrite. You honestly don’t remember? I mean, at the time, you made a big deal out of it.

  20. keiths: Ha ha. The moment I ask to see the actual evidence, Mung bolts.

    What evidence did you request? Are you denying that you ever commented on my changing of something I posted? If you’re not denying it, then you obviously did it. See how that works, you inglorious bastard?

    If you deny it, then you are a liar.
    You deny it, therefore, you are a liar.

    🙂

    Want to make a wager, keiths? Why are you so confidant about the mistakes of others, but so cowardly when it comes to your own mistakes?

    I say I can support my claim. You commented on the fact that I once modified one of my posts. How much are you willing to wager that I cannot support that claim?

    Time to put up or shut up you coward.

  21. Mung,

    Is it really better being laughed at than being ignored? The past couple of days have been pretty humiliating for you. Is the pain worth it?

  22. Mung:

    I say I can support my claim.

    I already asked you to provide a link:

    If you insist on whining about this, then link to the actual event so we can talk specifics.

  23. I have a high degree of confidence that I can support my claim. I’m willing to make a wager. Proceeds to go to the residents of “southeast Texas.” LoL.

    What do you say, keiths?

  24. Transgender activist punches a feminist.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4914582/Radical-transgender-group-says-FINE-punch-women.html

    A transgender campaign group defended an activist who attacked a 60-year-old by comparing the ‘radical feminists’ who question their views to ‘Nazis’.

    Members of the Action for Trans Health (ATH) clashed with their bitter enemies the Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists (or so-called TERFs) in London’s Hyde Park before a scheduled event to discuss gender issues.

    It culminated in an unseemly bust-up that ended with a 60-year-old mother-of-two being bundled to the ground and punched in the face by an ATH campaigner.

    Following that the group have issued a number of statements defending the activist, widely identified on social media as 25-year-old courier Tara Flik Wood.

    Postmodern Crazy Town

    Then there is the hilarity of Mythicist Milwaukee‏. Apparently, they invited an antiChristian to attend who happens to advocate for child pornography and pedophilia. Since this identity hasn’t been folded into the rainbow yet, the social justice atheists pounced, forcing Mythicist Milwaukee to rescind the invitation with egg all over their face.

    Of course, keep in mind that these are the people who would sneer at religion and mock religious people. Really? Sneering and mocking from a bunch of crackpots?

    I need to take a break from looking in on the postmodernists. Their constant arguing and pontificating and screaming reminds me too much of this scene from a classic movie…

  25. Last night’s Las Vegas shooting happened at Mandalay Bay.

    https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/las-vegas-shooting/las-vegas-shooting-deadliest-modern-u-s-history-n806486

    58 killed

    Around 10 p.m. Sunday (1 a.m. ET), gunman Stephen Paddock opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort on a crowd watching Aldean. Several weapons were located in the 64-year-old Paddock’s hotel room. Police reported at least 58 people were killed and more than 400 people were injured in the shooting.

    The thought is chilling since I visited that area. June 29, 2013 on Uncommon Descent, I posted this photo of me near Mandalay Bay with Luxor in the background:

    Holy Rollers, Pascal’s Wager, If ID is wrong it was an honest mistake

    I wrote then:

  26. Hey Keiths, you’re off my ignore list for a season.

    I’m entertained by seeing your comments, especially those being Guanoed.

    Keep up the good work mods.
