It should be the OTHER way around. Josh Feuerstein should be betting $100K that he can PROVE his imaginary god EXISTS. |

The only thing that proves is that a fool and his money are easily separated. The rest is tabloid trivia.

My "tabloid" rejoinder was addressed to Slartibartfast, not you. I doubt he saw it as a sneer and please don't presume to speak for him. We go back a lot further in time than you think and he knows me better than you do. As for my use of the term, it has a far broader application than the size of a newspaper. It can also refer to a style of journalism. But I think you know that. Certainly Slarti does. I'm more than happy to debate it with him although I somehow think it won't have to come to that. I'm not interested in arguing the toss with you. So stop trying to hijack threads, stop assuming that you have the duty to speak for other members, and if you must accuse me of sneering, please find out first what a sneer is. In other words pull your head in, butt out and give Slarti and me a chance to interact.

Is that moral outrage, Ed? I thought you were a relativist when it came to that.
Rather convenient to leap the moral fence when it suits your fancy, eh?

Pim's sneer count continues:  Meaning number 2: Sneer
verb (used without object)
1. to smile, laugh, or contort the face in a manner that shows scorn or contempt:
2. to speak or write in a manner expressive of derision or scorn.derision noun 1. ridicule; mockery: scorn noun 1. open or unqualified contempt; disdain: contempt noun 1. the attitude or feeling of a person towards a person or thing that he considers worthless or despicable ridicule noun 1. language or behaviour intended to humiliate or mock Spam. Yorick can't help himself. He's becoming like Jockstrap in the sense of posturing as the Moral Gatekeeper of the board. Maybe I'm being a bit unfair to Jockstrap, he thought he was board Pope and that he spoke infallibly when he made a pronouncement as Moral Gatekeeper. Yorick hasn't quite reached those lofty heights (or plumbed those murky depths) but he's trying. Yes he can be very trying. I read Occam's last post and the thread title comes to mind: the guy (Occam) has absolutely nailed it. I wonder if Slarti will come back onto the thread or has the trail kinda gone cold now that Yorick has spread his DNA all over it. |

And Yorick continues to spread his DNA across threads begun by other people, swamping the thread topic with his own unrelated agendas and crowding other contributions out. Little wonder that other potential contributors take one look and shy off.
Occam you might as well toss this thread into the Boxing Ring. Yorick has farked it.
In fact can I suggest that as soon as Yorick starts his "sneer" spamming on any thread that it should immediately get tossed into the Boxing Ring?

Yorick you have a unique take on "sneer". Spam the board with as many c & p's as you like from online dictionaries giving their definitions of "sneer", the fact is you conflate "disagreement", "rebuttal" and "robust debate" with "sneer". I'm not going to develop the point any further because I realise that your intention when you make one of your gratuitous "Moral Gatekeeper" interventions is to divert the thread from the topic into an agenda of your choosing. Not interested, I'm afraid!
Doubtless you'll call this post a "sneer" and clearly you've decided to stalk me on the board intervening with your "sneer" spamming. You realise of course this will wreck what's left of the board. I think it's time for Occam or Jody as mods to make an intervention of their own so I appeal to them to act in the interests of the board. I can make you this promise Yorick, I will NOT run off to complain to Proboards.

Trash talkin' KTJ buzzes in like a blowfly to a steaming pile of cow dung. Whassamadda KTJ, run out of targets for your trash talking? Done for the day trash talkin' Americans have you? Or Christians? Catholics? or Jews? Or American/Australian victims of terrorism (provided they're whitefellas)? Or victims of paedophilia?
Yep! Classy guy!

Oh? You're saying my remarks about KTJ are gratuitous? That trash talking is NOT his principal agenda? That I'm wrong when I claim that he trash talks Americans, Christians, Catholics - especially where it relates to paedophilia -Jews, English-speaking whitefellas, victims of terrorism etc etc? Or that if I'm right then I'm wrong to point it out and condemn him for it? What sort of time-wasting fatuous rubbish is this?
