>> Personally, I like to defend truth no matter who says it...
And here you lie completely in the margins of error. As one who purports to be a critical thinker, you should reflect on your statement I quoted above. It's quite a statement few should be willing to make.
You certainly could have made your point without a catalog of information. To inundate the thread with so much data is obnoxious - and of course, we know you know that.
The practice of science is not that of Faith. It's a pragmatism that welcomes volatility, curiosity, creativity, and reexamination. Dogmatic practitioners soon find themselves mumbling alone and without cause. If you're unwilling to engage then best not to complain or mumble for that matter.
Why do you say, that Ichy posting his data was obnoxious?...frankly, I was fascinated by it, as I am sure others may have been as well...of course, I did take the time to read it all, and tried to absorb as much as I could...But this is no different from other posters who post nothing but reams of Scriptures...actually whenever I am on a thread that piques my interet, I do make the attempt to read everyones posts, long, short or somewhere in between...
I did not know that there was a standard to be followed, as to how long, or short ones posts should be...
Frankly, if a long post upsets you, just scroll right on past it...but for the rest of us, those long posts may be something we are greatly interested in..
Until JR, says, that no one can post such long posts, there will always be some of these...so what?...just that mouse and just scroll on past...the rest of us, will take up your slack...
