If someone such as yourself were genuinely interested in proving himself right and perhaps educating a few people in the process, he might post sources for his numbers, papers supporting his views, or some other form of verifiable evidence.
Hahaha. Holy, sh*t. Where would you ever get the impression I was genuinely interested in educating you people? If someone really actually shows interest in something beyond "I hate you, you're mean, so I'm going to argue!" I think you'll find I'm happy to explain my point of view.
See the quantum physics thread, or the questions about linguistics in whatever thread that was.
If you're going to start with the assumption that we're intellectual equals, though, you'd better be right, and be able to suck it up if I make fun of you when you're wrong. Joph knows more than I do about a good many things. Catholicism, for example. I try to pull my own weight on the subject if he's posting, but I'll sometimes just ask if I don't know something. Flea knows a good deal more than me on other subjects, and I'll just ask if I don't know. Nexa knows more about gays and human sexuality than I do, among other things. Nobby knows more about playing guitar, or British history, and probably a dozen more things. Ditto Samira, Tare, etc. etc.
Your problem, Gabji's problem, most poster's problem, frankly is that they don't.
Not my fault.
