No. I will not stop pointing out stupidity. I haven't derailed this thread. I've posted here just like anyone else. If you don't like me posting my opinions, then go somewhere else or send a complaint to Rob. What have you offered to the thread other than wanting me to shut up?

Hey randomq. I present you with someone derailing the thread. Please tell them to stop with their whatisms and blather.

I see. YOU want to be free to say whatever YOU want, everyone else should just shut up! I also find it quite telling that when factual based evidence that refutes your statement or opinion, such as I did with the Merriam Webster link above, it becomes "Twaddle" to you.
Got it!

No. I don't think you have your pretend lawyer-head working right now. Not once have I ever thought, and I quote, " YOU want to be free to say whatever YOU want, everyone else should just shut up!"
You claim to be a lawyer licensed in so many states. Maybe the lawyer you imagine in one state might talk to you in this one and ask you: Are you really posting this shit?

The real question is should a supposed leader of one of Maunakea's telescopes really be posting this shit? Are you a good example of the leadership our Telescopes have? No wonder TMT never got off the ground.

What can I say? Don't do drugs, kids, stay in school as long as you can. The people above are hallucinating, and it's not a good trip.

Quite. Tom, on behalf of all decent, God fearing Americans (USA type), I'd like to apologize for some of the ignorance and xenophobia you've had to endure over the last couple of days. The consensus reality is that we are grateful for everyone who respects us and our laws enough to immigrate legally and honestly. Thank you for all of your great contributions to science, astronomy, and Punaweb. We need many more like you as we enter this Golden Age.

as we enter this Golden Age.
Charlie Munger was partner with Warren Buffett at Berkshire Hathaway. Not only was he a stock market genius, but equally an insightful observer of business and human endeavors. He once noted, "If you mix raisins with turds, they're still turds."
If you dream of a golden age of raisins, and ignore the turds that are also getting handed out at the same time, remember …
"America is God's Crucible, the great Melting-Pot where all the races of Europe are melting and re-forming! ... Germans and Frenchmen, Irishmen and Englishmen, Jews and Russians—into the Crucible with you all! God is making the American."
- from Israel Zangwill’s 1908 play The Melting Pot
We’re all in this together.

Thanks, PT.
PS. I'm not a state employee and have never been one. It's just more nonsense posted out of someone's arse.
PPS. For those who do stay in school and are able to read more than one sentence and have progressed to reading paragraphs, I highly recommend reading this:
