I must say, your comments have caused me to go back and reread much of this thread, looking for something that resembles mocking you on the side. I pretty much ignored your posts until this one: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-backroom/1165395/posts?page=996#996 To which I responded: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-backroom/1165395/posts?page=1027#1027 I won't deny it was sarcastic, but you earned it. You have demonstrated an inability to understand high school math. When presented with a simple schoolbook question you never even considered that there might be a firmly settled answer. Your responses were, to put it mildly, paranoid. You could have consulted a math textbook, online if necessary, but you rambled on and made a fool of yourself.

This isn't Mrs. Grundy's self-esteem class. There are math questions that are settled. You don't get to have an opinion. If you have questions, take them to a textbook.

The same pretty much applies to your jabbering about gravity. It is fairly easy to come up with fantasy theories about "concentrating" gravity or traveling faster than light, but any useful and testable idea will involve some mathematics -- not exactly your strong suit. Your "ideas" do not even amount to clever science fiction technobabble. If the did, they would at least be coherent and amusing.

Now, about your approach to me, the less said the better for you. You sent me an incoherent freepmail accusing me of somehow changing my position from support of your positions to mocking you. I can't even imagine where I might have supported you on this thread. Maybe on some other thread dealing with politics? Maybe. But believe it or not, science doesn't answer to politics. They don't ask the same kinds of questions.
