Regarding Velvet's Tone (was) Animal Behavior/IQ

[Guest guest]

Velvet,

 

It is said that Rudeness is the Weak Person's Attempt at Strength.

 

I think this applies to you. I think you are a thinly veiled troll. My response

to you is not so much as to " feed " you, but to call out your inflaming and

condescending tone toward the many good, thoughtful, and expansive posters on

this group.

 

I think you should be very careful in your future trolling activities to not

mistake rambling, lack of accepted sentence structure, and the use of all caps

for some proof of your high IQ.

 

If you are indeed, not a troll, and just highly opinionated, then I urge you to

refrain from picking apart the posts of others and instead just share your

thoughts. You seem very intent on parsing the intent and word choice of

others....perhaps you'd feel the humiliation you cause others if some of us

pointed out your many and varied spelling errors, incorrect usages, and a lack

of proper punctuation.

 

I admit I find myself incredulous about your many splendored intelligence

claims. I just think you are plain mean, and wish you'd play nicely or go away.

 

A big hug to all who have tangled with you, and even to you. I hope your life's

journey becomes smoother.

 

Namaste,

Lisa

I am sure that you do, if you say that you do.

 

I look forward to the continued stream of your loving to say it.

 

Though quite why you would, when the intelligent people of this forum

will witness this, unfolding in its time, WITHOUT forwarning...

You can PROPOSE that 'we' do such and such an anything....but you must

QUALIFY the 'we' you are authorised to speak FOR.

 

You may say that SOME Human Beings laugh at: or fear: or whistle: or

burp at raspberries:

 

But you cannot speak for 'me' CERTAINLY, for 'I' find lemmings nothing

whatever to laugh at, or indeed, to sigh over. What is the purpose of

that laughter over a simple wild creature living in groups somewhere

on this planet, except perhaps to release pent-up up of bowel gas

 

<nature 'moves' in mysterious ways>

 

and as for fear...I fear ONLY

 

ignorance.

 

ONLY that.

 

Therefore YOUR 'we' is not me or mine. Whic your 'we' does not take

account for.

 

<be sure you can be SURE of what you mean to say, before you say it>

It is indeed in the high IQ public. Had you asked me...

 

But, 'perhaps' it is the case that you trust only 'your'

emotivisms...when making An Entrance...off the back of what you have

been taught to handle as the only accpetable 'common denominator' of

'we are roses and light, none are permited to be greater than any'...

 

THAT disserves Human nature. Which is competent AND INcompetent by

degrees of individuality.

 

INCOMPETENT is not to be brushed under the carpet ...either.

THAT I do not consider likely.

 

You will, for purposes of equity, be happy, I am sure..to post here

the circumstances of P. Hawkings interview....which is to say: with

whom and for which publication /or audience.

 

Unless Prof. Hawking is particularly emotionally immature...or no

complete scientist, I find that statement to be incongruent.

 

Scientists in public eye, thus capable of being Peer reviewed on every

issuing 'word', more so than any in a purely private capacity...should

refer their 'understanding' to experimental data and its results if

they are to underpin such 'generalised' and EMOTIVE claims.

 

Particularly the sort of scientist in the Popular domain..

 

Perhaps, though, that was a PANDER to those who are insecure with

learning and intellectual betterment...

 

There are a lot of people insecure enough to rush to the defence of

any...apparantly left out, in the 'fortunate' stakes. Even where

average is not being attacked, but merely not 'in' the picture under

discussion.

You will explain your motivations for the above...I am sure.
