120. Are you serious?

Dec 2011

I think that I've made that more than clear.

I also support almost any form of renewable power built out as fast as possible, but as a home-team fanatic, you view anyone who says "our QB is great, but not the best out of the pocket" as a traitor and obviously a plant from some other team.

More importantly - in the context of this (host) conversation... why on earth do you think that it's relevant???

You've been corrected on this over and over and over. Being host has nothing whatsoever to do with which position you take on nuclear power... and there were pro-nuke posters recommending anti-nuke posters as host.

Do you have the same level of maturity?

Here's the deal: XemaSab Dec 2011 #1

Please clarify a couple of your views; when asked earlier you sidstepped the questions. kristopher Dec 2011 #28

One clarification and one additional question kristopher Dec 2011 #36

Why wont you answer the question posed? kristopher Dec 2011 #45

Err, Because it was the most popular option? Dead_Parrot Dec 2011 #46

That has nothing to do with the questions posed to xema. kristopher Dec 2011 #47

You misunderstand, Kris. Dead_Parrot Dec 2011 #48

Why are you acting as xema's proxy? kristopher Dec 2011 #49

If you want to start a thread to form a new SOP, go ahead. Dead_Parrot Dec 2011 #50

He says after 4 posts diverting from the topic - Questions for Xema - kristopher Dec 2011 #51

You're still not getting it, Kris Dead_Parrot Dec 2011 #52

You too are a very strong advocate for nuclear power, right? kristopher Dec 2011 #107

I prefer hydro offset by wind. Dead_Parrot Dec 2011 #155

Only 25% of the Democratic party supports your position on nuclear. kristopher Dec 2011 #104

Why not wait for evidence of malfeasance? GliderGuider Dec 2011 #2

The deceptive method of becoming host was malfeasance. kristopher Dec 2011 #3

Sorry. Nope. FBaggins Dec 2011 #5

Why was an end run around the process attempted? kristopher Dec 2011 #6

Because you desperately wanted to be the host of course. FBaggins Dec 2011 #7

So she didn't tell Skinner there was an ongoing discussion because I too volunteered to be host? kristopher Dec 2011 #8

As I said... disingenuous at best. FBaggins Dec 2011 #11

I actually have no problem with two groups Nederland Dec 2011 #24

The invitation is still standing. kristopher Dec 2011 #25

I completely agree Nederland Dec 2011 #29

And the invitation still stands... kristopher Dec 2011 #31

Do you understand that this thread has nothing to do with the scientific value of Jacobson's paper? GliderGuider Dec 2011 #32

That post explains my behavior - and questions your own. kristopher Dec 2011 #33

You're really going to take that route? GliderGuider Dec 2011 #34

I shared what I had already written. kristopher Dec 2011 #35

I will decline the invitation Nederland Dec 2011 #40

You are a nuclear supporter, correct? kristopher Dec 2011 #105

Are you serious? FBaggins Dec 2011 #120

Damned right it's relevant. kristopher Dec 2011 #123

Nope. And I note that you're dodging the actual relevant question. FBaggins Dec 2011 #124

"Emotional maturity" FBaggins Dec 2011 #4

I was about ready to swallow that emotional maturity argument and then I saw JPak as a host. Massacure Dec 2011 #19

There's a difference. FBaggins Dec 2011 #20

Seconded. AtheistCrusader Dec 2011 #26

There's already been several examples of malfeasance and abuse. bananas Dec 2011 #16

"We were reaching a consensus of no host" joshcryer Dec 2011 #17

Your bar for "malfeasance and abuse" appears incredibly low FBaggins Dec 2011 #18

kristopher, your behaviour in this thread is outrageous and disruptive. GliderGuider Dec 2011 #148

He's trying hard to get the thread locked and (he hopes) himself blocked as disruptive. FBaggins Dec 2011 #153

I admit, I was surprised at first to find we had a host OKIsItJustMe Dec 2011 #10

I figured that you would feel that way. FBaggins Dec 2011 #12

I’ll take it as a compliment (thanks) OKIsItJustMe Dec 2011 #13

"The pronuclear temporary hosts that are on the list don't have my approval" makes that pretty clear FBaggins Dec 2011 #66

Sorry if my response to you came off as rude, that wasn't my intent XemaSab Dec 2011 #68

Welcome to DU3. There are still some things to catch up on. FBaggins Dec 2011 #64

I didn't know there are no moderators Kolesar Dec 2011 #67

You seem to be confused about how DU3 works Dead_Parrot Dec 2011 #82

"This one has been cleared by Skinner as a re-visit of "Do we need hosts?" = BS kristopher Dec 2011 #85

That was my reading of it Dead_Parrot Dec 2011 #89

A self serving reading that is obviously not supported by the OP kristopher Dec 2011 #91

The option for user-created groups should be along shortly, if that helps. Dead_Parrot Dec 2011 #94

Sorry... no. It has been your reading that has been self-serving. FBaggins Dec 2011 #100

I think it is blatantly obvious to every reader of this thread exactly who is being "self serving". Nihil Dec 2011 #101

Yes it is "blindingly obvious". kristopher Dec 2011 #102

Not at all. I want the science to lead the discussion kristopher Dec 2011 #133

And you insist that your interpretation of what "the science" says is the correct one. FBaggins Dec 2011 #136

Most of it isn't subject to "interpretation". kristopher Dec 2011 #138

Sorry. You're dead wrong. FBaggins Dec 2011 #139

You mean the IPCC, the IEEE journal, DOE etc. kristopher Dec 2011 #142

Please XemaSab Dec 2011 #80

Why didn't you tell skinner the discussion was ongoing? kristopher Dec 2011 #81

Personally, I thought it was wrapped up Dead_Parrot Dec 2011 #83

What you thought has absolutely nothing to do with the question asked of Xemasab. kristopher Dec 2011 #86

I'm speaking for *my*self, kris Dead_Parrot Dec 2011 #87

But I wasn't speaking TO you was I. I asked HER to explain HER act. kristopher Dec 2011 #88

Oh, I'm sorry. Dead_Parrot Dec 2011 #90

It wasn't a private message, it was a question specifically to Xemasab. kristopher Dec 2011 #92

If it wasn't private then anyone that wishes may reply to it. n/t GliderGuider Dec 2011 #95

What do you think this is, some sort of internet forum? Dead_Parrot Dec 2011 #97

Once more: Why didn't you tell skinner the discussion was ongoing? kristopher Dec 2011 #93

OK Xema. kristopher Dec 2011 #96

You obviously think that a discussion is "ongoing" until you get what you want. FBaggins Dec 2011 #99

And you obviously think that stealing the postion of host is a legitimate act. kristopher Dec 2011 #103

Lol that you continue to claim that anything was "stolen" FBaggins Dec 2011 #106

Then why didn't she accurately relate the state of the discussion here? kristopher Dec 2011 #122

She did. FBaggins Dec 2011 #126

You have to be kidding. kristopher Dec 2011 #129

Nope. You've again confused "consensus" with "unanimity". FBaggins Dec 2011 #132
