Maybe you should listen to others once in your life. Rob didn't open anything, you're trolling pure and simple.. day in and day out. It never stops.. people try to politely nudge you.. people hint.. and all you do is thumb your nose at everyone.. including the admins.

That's not true. YOU keep trying to stop me from asking questions or posting my opinions. Rob posted "And some say there is no God." and you don't think that's either trolling or opening the door to question that comment?

E.g., "And, of course, it would be only fitting that our “astronomer” bow out on this one. In fact I think he should just say nothing. No leading statements, no prompting others to do.. just sit back and empower others with his silence."

How's that working out?

Methinks, if you consulted the I Ching, the hexagram that would be returned would say...

The wise man empowers others with his silence.

But hey, you don't care, do you?

You think whatever you want to. I certainly don't care about some ancient Chinese saying. It seems to me you're using this saying to explain why no one is answering your post about the telescope you're asking posters to identify. I think it's a little ridiculous that you have to quote something from 5000 years ago to support whatever position you're taking. We're in the 21st century now.

There are only two forces on this plane.. love and fear.. any guess which one you're consumed with?

The Bicker Board sure does earn it's name.

As Rob said, and is just as apropos here..

All I did was tell a story. Then it seems to quickly devolve into bickering about nothing as usual. Not really appreciated.

Maybe you should take a hint, and go back to contemplating the virtue of silence. Or, better yet, take a vacation.. drink your fav libation .. and contemplate the virtue of silence.

But no matter, please respect the folks that ask that you keep your bickering to the Bicker Board. 

Thanks.

Hardly.

With all due credit to Ironyak, although probably not in this instance wanting credit, but what you are doing is called SEALIONING perhaps maybe with a side dish of Just Asking Questions.

And of course, while here in Puna, in Hawaii.
