Then you are going to wait a damned long time.
No. You can't show it since it is not something I said. You used it as a threat and that is the point of this post! You have made yourself a liar!
I don't know who said what and why and when. And how and under which circumstances and what have you. I don't know.

But I do know that every time I see two grown up guys getting into an argument here, they must be americans.

Never see a Swede beating up a Chinaman, or vice versa. Or a guy from paris doing a block-block-jab on a guy from Brazil.

This is not high school. You can't bully your way around.

Can you guys go back to the way mom told you? Even in the blog world, it's no good all this shouting. If you would rase your voice to your neighbor like this, he would call the police. Or the Sherif, if you are from Texas ;-)

(The last line is a joke. Don't shoot me, I am unarmed and I have no WMD. No oil either ;-)

How many times do you go online and get your safety or life threatened on TOD??
Alpha Omega,

To tell you the truth, I don't think anybody has ever treatened me in my whole life.

Feel free to scroll up and read the entire post from the point I started here today. He twisted the meaning around rather than debate it if he had a doubt. Purge or purged are only words. This guy makes the case for why we have laws. I get threatened for a word. The name calling on his part is fine but threats are another matter!
AlphaOmega/Whoever...

Do you have to sling playground persiflage back and forth here on the valuable real estate of TOD?  Can't you take this somewhere else please?

-C.

although persiflage is probably not the best word to describe it as you two are not softly teasing each other :-/
Netiquette Rule #7


But Netiquette does forbid the perpetuation of flame wars -- series of angry letters, most of them from two or three people directed toward each other, that can dominate the tone and destroy the camaraderie of a discussion group. It's unfair to the other members of the group. And while flame wars can initially be amusing, they get boring very quickly to people who aren't involved in them. They're an unfair monopolization of bandwidth.

Please be kind and rewind.

I'm pretty much the only one talking Bradshaw. The other fella said I would be waiting a long time. I posted the facts and we shall see what we see.
Let me ask you this...
Suppose you're online and Greyzone traces your IP and manages to find out information about you (location, time zone, sex, age, name, street address, work address). At some point this person threatens you in such a way that you are not completely sure if you or your family are SAFE any longer. You don't know what Greyzone knows regarding networks, weapons, etc.
What would you do?
I would ignore him.  I recommend you do the same.  It's the best way to deal with people you can't get along with online.
99% of the time that would be the case. I'm pretty sure I was physically threatened and I leave this in the hands of TPTB here @ TOD to determine. I wanted to give Greyzone the opportunity to retract that comment. He did not and thickened the gravy instead. So yes it is wise to ignore such an ass I can't help but feel chased away from a thing that I like. He has a blog and I don't go to it or threaten him! I have not threatened him as far as I can see.
You weren't threatened.  Lighten up and move on.  We'll all be happier if you do.  

And ask yourself if you are really contributing anything to this "thing that you like" by continuing this.

He did threaten me! Is he going to purge me? I doubt it!
Leanan how is this:
You give me a block/iggy button and that is no issue!
You give me a block/iggy button and that is no issue!

I wish I could.  Believe you me, I would be making use of such a function myself, if it existed.

You can try PeakOil.com.  They have an Ignore function there.

Your sweet! XXX
You're right, you should unplug right now.

Are you serious?  Seriously, you should just move off topic... post about something else... and get on with your day.

I'm going to lunch, Hey Greyzone, see if you can back trace my IP, I'm spoofing trough 4 IPs right now see if you can geo-target me :)

-C.

Why would I want to waste time tracing your IP? Or the IP of AlphaOmega? I never once suggested I would do such. End-of-the-world-Mayan-calendar boy here said that. Go argue with him about crazy scenarios he wants to concoct in his addled brain.
GreyZone, I was joking... relax, enjoy your weekend :)
I think we could measure how close we are to Peak Oil by the increase of insanity and paranoia in the general population.
would you like me to chart that for you?  provide some data sir and I will post an image shortly :-)
OK...first data point.

(scale of 1-10; 1 not at all and 10 totally)

Pre-2001:
     Insane   Paranoid
Me -  2          1

Current Day:
     Insane   Paranoid
Me -    8        3

Who's next?
You asked for it, you got it.  Toyota?

-C.

Ha...OK...You took some liberty with the extrapolations.  2004 I was probably a 9/9 due to elections and have somewhat settled since then.  Sometimes "best fit" is not the most accurate.
By the way...I just bought a Toyota...how wierd...did you read my mind...are you stalking me?

Oops...better add a point to my paranoid stat.

Yes, I am stalking you, nice car BTW... and cut your hair.
In my defense you did not provide all data points so I indeed took liberty :-)
Insanity/paranoia/religion sure took off around the Y2K scare. Since then, it's taken off like a Gulfstream 5 with a hefty dose of steroids in the tanks of diesel - and with a few Burt Rutan rockets as JATO rockets added for flavour. (Sure would be a fun plane to drive!:)

My impression is that the Y2K computer failure wasn't computers but the minds of too many Americans and the people in the Middle East. It's like people abandoned logic and reason en masse and embraced delusion in the form of religion. BTW, a Gulfstream 5 is a business jet like a Lear Jet, only about 60mph faster. (stock version) Google the license plate "N379P" for details! That's the infamous Gitmo Express license number in an earlier incarnation.

Hello Dragonfly41,

This is confirmed by Hans Seleye's General Adaptation Syndrome [GAS] and numerous other scientifically peer-reviewed studies among all over-stressed and confined species.  Here is a good link by Reg Morrision, reknown author of "The Spirit in the Gene" and "Plague Species":

http://www.regmorrison.id.au/

See the PDF article called "Hydrogen: Humanity's Maker and Breaker".

excerpt:
--------------
A GAS attack

I have previously inferred that an auto-collapse mechanism is built into the genomes of most plague animals.32 Evolutionary safeguards are triggered in social species when
populations grow exponentially and stress levels rise. This results in a predictable spectrum of physiological and behavioural responses that invariably reduce the population's fertility below replacement level. The Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye in 1936 named these responses the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS),33 and many
other studies have corroborated Selye's findings. A GAS decline typically appears well before famine and disease begin to cull the population, and its hormonal `fingerprint'
often persists in wild mouse populations long after the population has shrunk to plague levels and the habitat has recovered. GAS has led to the local extinction of a species
in some instances.34

Why should this concern us? There are four reasons:

1. There is no evidence that we are fundamentally distinct from other species. We too are shaped, driven and manipulated, both directly and indirectly, by our DNA, and
no basic distinction has ever been detected in the biological fabric of our bodies--or in our behavioural drives.

  1. The graph of our population growth for most of the past century was exponential and precisely mirrored that of any mammal entering what we call a plague phase.

  2. All plagues end in similar fashion, with a population collapse that mirrors their exponential growth. Such an abrupt termination is essential to the evolutionary
process. If it did not occur, `successful' species could proliferate indefinitely, endangering the existence of all life on Earth. This does not happen.

4. It follows that evolution's auto-collapse mechanism must therefore reside in the evolutionary process itself and persist via genetic replication. I would argue that
this safeguard is essentially expressed via Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome. I would further argue that our species now displays most of the GAS symptoms and has already begun its GAS decline. And most significantly, many of our fertility inhibitors are associated with either a surfeit or dearth of hydrogen.

Our genes are not our friends.  The question is can we collectively outsmart them?  Most Geneticists and Historians think we cannot, but a small part of me remains optomistic [but that could just be delusion from GAS].

Have you ever read "The Selfish Gene"?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Selfish_Gene

The Selfish Gene is a very popular and somewhat controversial book on evolutionary theory by Richard Dawkins, published in 1976. The phrase "selfish gene" in the title of the book was coined by Dawkins as a provocative way of expressing the gene-centric view of evolution, which holds that evolution is best viewed as acting on genes, and that selection at the level of organisms or populations almost never overrides selection on genes. More precisely, an organism is expected to evolve to maximise its inclusive fitness - the number of copies of its genes passed on globally (rather than by a particular individual). As a result, populations will tend towards an evolutionarily stable strategy. The book also coins the term meme, for a unit of human cultural evolution analogous to the gene, suggesting that such "selfish" replication may also model human culture, in a different sense. Memetics has become the subject of many studies since the publication of the book.

Hello Dragonfly41,

Not yet, but I have read a lot of book reviews, excerpts, and brilliant discussion by Jay Hanson, Ron Patterson, Reg, Nate [theLastSasquatch], Matt Savinar, AngryChimp, and others at Dieoff_Q&A over time.  IMHO, Jay was a true, very patient intellectual supernova--very rare--I miss his webprescense greatly, even though I have never met him, but I am glad his writings are plastered all over the WWWeb. I remain in awe of these gents, but I think I have fairly good grasp of the basic Thermo-Gene Collision principles as explained in the hundreds of pages at Dieoff.com.  I still consider myself to be a newbie having first discovered PO in summer 2003. I have got a lot to learn with very little time.  Thxs for responding.

Bob Shaw in Phx,AZ  Are Humans Smarter than Yeast?

Bob,

One of the reasons I am the doomer that I am is precisely because of this stuff.  I've been into sustainable living for over 30 years and know what's involved.  And, what's involved is adopting a different reality.  That's not going to happen.

I'm currently working on a tongue-in-cheek (but serious)post entitled An Interview with a Doomer.

Hello Todd,

I anxiously await it's arrival.  Please submit to EnergyBulletin if you think it will be newsworthy.

Bob Shaw in Phx,AZ  Are Humans Smarter than Yeast?

This is the greatest place.  Someone asks for crazy people info and voila, someone KNOWS even that.  Rock on people!
