I'd walk away after politely saying "thanks, but I have somewhere else to be".

Love to chat more Tom, but I have somewhere else to be.

Of course you do. To another thread?

And some take pictures for someone else who did the actual writing, but call it their book.

If only you knew...

Yeah I took the pics,.. and produced the books. I negotiated contracts with publishers to produce books.. then hired writers, had to hire an editor to keep one writer on track, did all the design and layout, worked with the editors and then the printers, whereas the writers just wrote, in concert with and often under my direction. That's why in every instance I got first authorship. 

Why are you always attacking me with your nonsense? Really, you don't know what you're talking about and still you attack.. and attack again and again. Why? What is your point? You bring up the same stuff over and over. Why? 

Why not just get a life Tom? Do something positive instead of always being an asshole. Or maybe, just cork it.. do what your mama told you.. shut up unless you have something positive to say. Can you do that?

Oh.. yeah I forgot.. you say you're an astronomer. Then why are you here rather than looking at the stars? When do you actually do astronomy Tom? Really man, you're here all the time.. when do the tax payers get what we pay you for? You are a State of Hawaii employee, right? Is this what the state pays you to do? To be an internet troll? Really is this in your job description?

If you haven't noticed, there has been a severe Kona storm that has prevented the observatories on Mauna Kea from observing for several days.

I'm talking years bro.. years.

As we see here some folks like write just because they got nothing better to do. Two of our prolific long term ones seem to have something to say about everything, and they go on at great length saying pretty much whatever insult or degrading terms one can cough up.. not like they "know" anything. Just bored with life and spending it here posting and posting some more..

So, are you assuming I must work 24 hours a day, and I don't get any time off to post here? I have a trip to the UK coming up at the end of this week. How dare I take time off looking at stars? BTW, if you'd bothered to read my publication list, which has been posted here a couple of times now, my area of expertise is not stellar astronomy.

In any case, I understand that many members of PW are retired, but many are not, and those who are still working still get time off after work and are allowed to do what they want with that time. Fortunately, we live in a country that allows that. I will also point out that the 17 years I've posted here, I still post with my original username. You don't.

So? 

Does that make me a bad person? Am I evil? Should I be arrested? Why do you keep saying it? Literally Tom, how many times have you said it? 20? 30? How many times will you say it again? Ten more times, one hundred times? And, please, tell us, why are you saying it over and over? Isn't once enough?

Come on Tom, lay it on the line, why do you keep repeating the same thing over and over? Do you have some kind of mental illness that makes it so you're out of control? You can't help yourself? Is it going to get worse with age? Is there a point we should call someone? If not, why?

Are you saying you're a better person than me? Is that it? Really? You're good, I'm bad? Is that it? Otherwise, what's the point? 

Literally, Tom, spell it out. Why?

Personally I see it as a symptom of a sickness.. you're a vindictive bully who thrives on using passive aggressiveness to aggravate others. That's how you live your life. While others try and be good people you relish being an asshole. And that, to me, is pitiful. Sad and seriously sick. But hey.. go ahead and tell us.. why?

I'm just pointing out that for whatever reason, you keep changing your identity on PW. Couple that with deleting a large number of posts, and it might make others think there's something going on. I don't know what it is; maybe you'll share the reason, but ultimately, it's what others think. I'm just pointing out a fact which you've suddenly become very defensive about. I don't know why you've done that. I guess you'll either explain it yourself or let others make up their own opinions.

In other words, I am right. You're a passive aggressive asshole. No reason, other than a sick soul being mean.. that's it. 

And you call yourself a scientist. Go figure.
