The Oil Drum

An argument which was not resolved yesterday will suffer the same fate today.

Time will resolve these arguments in a more effective manner than perpetually engaging in the same arguments ever will. The only significant contribution of the daily threads is the news stories which Leanan and others provide throughout the day.

It is rather ironic that you say this, seeing as you exhibit the same kind of eristic tendencies, over-attachment to baseless and opiniated rhetoric, and compulsive urge to post that mark, say, IP and some others.

Leanan, we had a hint of the rot in a certain aged poster and his plentiful off-topic references to the prowess of his dong (now thankfully a habit he has grown out of - and about time, at seventy-odd years of age), then OilCEO, who was banned (correctly), then IP, and now it appears dmathew. All these are, unfortunately, symptoms of a wider ill - the urge to talk complete BS to the wider public on what is, ostensibly, a Peak Oil site. Yes, I have done it myself. So I say unto you and the rest of the Oildrum crew: SHOOT US ALL! Disable the comment feature and spare posterity all this. Or let the comments show only RR and Westexas duking it out, and similar. The rest is dross, and should be confined to oblivion.
