    Q. Do You Think? A. Yes. Well at least I think I think. Q. There are too many threads started by retards? A. I don't know because I don't know (a) who counts as a retard, (b) how many threads they start. IIRC there is (was?) a definition of retard based on IQ scores but I don't know the IQs of posters. On the other hand you could say a thread was started by a retard if it did not lead to a deep and meaningful discussion. BTW Using the latter criterion, does this count as a thread started by a retard? :laugh:

      Not at all. It was started with a clear objective and, considering my job and achievements, I doubt that I could be classified as a retard. Sock-cookers who can't even secure a job delivering pizzas, well that's a different story.

          I think this forum has become about CSS. Which is the goal of any troll.

          The practical reason for freedom is that freedom seems to be the only condition under which any kind of substantial moral fiber can be developed — we have tried law, compulsion and authoritarianism of various kinds, and the result is nothing to be proud of. ~ Albert Jay Nock

                  Total bollocks, I mean I rarely start threads :-).

                      CSS does post relentlessly here, but he is beaten to the title of outright troll by DalekDave who posts in the lounge in such quantity that even with the traffic there, his posts still reach about 10%.

                      Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription

                        I aint a troll, I just offer opinions and back them up with links to evidence. I can't help being verbose. :) (Only 10%? Must try harder!)

                            Continually going on about a single, boring subject that has no proof either way, that's Trolling too. Let me guess what your next Thread will be about :) You see? We all do it from time to time. But some are consistant.

                              The fact that: 1) the troposphere is not as warm as it should be 2) surface temperatures do not correlate with CO2 invalidates the theory of GW caused by CO2. A new theory has to be proved to replace the incumbent one. And that hasnt happened. It is not the duty of the scientific community ot disprove any old theory, and for lack of proof, be forced to accept it.

                                But do you reckon is the same thing over and over and over again? the same as CSS and DD and maybe?

                                I want to die like my grandfather- asleep, not like the passengers in his car, screaming!
