The Bicker Board

[Chas]

Well said.

[TomK]

You know it's Puna when people bicker about bickering on the bicker thread.

[MyManao]

you have no evidence that I'm a vile human being..

Tom, after the exchange over on the hurricane thread the other night, in which you were unable to comprehend clearly written posts, in which you asked for civility and then immediately turned around and were menacingly uncivil as soon as you confused one source with another, in which you were unable to follow references and understand clear simple scientifically based concepts, and were otherwise wholly intent on browbeating rather than having a discussion about the subject at hand, I think it important to suggest you get medical/psychological help.

And yes, you are vile. And the reams of posts here in the PW archives are all the "evidence" anyone needs.

You’ve always been mean, and imbalanced. You’ve run off countless people here, and you relish it. But Tom, things are getting worse, way worse, and I honestly think you are showing signs of losing it brother. You are no longer rational. To give kalianna anything other than respect they so clearly deserves is a clear sigh you’ve lost it man.

In the meantime, I don’t find engaging with you to be healthy. I think you're dishonest, but I don't need to say so endlessly. Why do you? You say the same thing over and over, I am dishonest, I am, at every turn, wrong. If that’s how you feel fine. Say it once and be done with it. But if you need to say it every day, at every opportunity, at some point it stops being real, and is just a reflection of you. As it has been now, for years. Honestly man, it’s unhealthy, you’re unhealthy. And, you know, there is absolutely nothing to be gained by engaging with you when it is clear that you are not sincere, but rather a broken man repeating himself, repeatedly indulging in your hateful rhetoric, ad nauseam.

I wish you luck, but don’t think you’re going to find it endlessly attacking people. And I certainly ain't getting jack for playing your game. As I said, Tom, you’re a sick man, get help.

Pau.

Punaweb has a blocking feature.  Think of it as a mask which we wore during COVID, that prevented viruses from causing illness.

I post my opinions and also question posters when they write something that's scientifically dubious. I'll also point out logical fallacies when those posters make them. I tend not to post direct insults, and would like to know what was "menacingly uncivil". I don't think you'll find such a post, and I doubt there will be a good answer. MyManao and his previous sock accounts have posted scientific nonsense over the years, and he doesn't like it when people point it out. MyManao (i.e., the real person behind the online identity) has gone so far as to harass the admin staff at their workplace.

No doubt there will be a couple of posters who complain about this post, but ask yourself whether they have ever contributed anything to Punaweb or are just here to moan, whine, and complain. For those people, please note that MyManao keeps referring to me. If he considers it unhealthy, why does he continue to bait me? He knows I'll point out his nonsense, so why does he continue to do so? It's my opinion that he wants to be seen as a victim.

PS. I'll also add that Moderator 2's comment about a virus is unkind, irrational and inappropriate.

Skeptical thinking does not cause illness.

I'm sure she or he will figure it out, but asking for evidence or pointing out the problems in someone's hypothesis is not a virus that needs to be stamped out. It's the method we have used to get here, i.e., you using a phone and computer to post on PW. Comparing that to a virus is uncalled for. I suggest he or she rethink their reasoning and not treat rational people the same way religious people did with Galileo.

Rob also asked us not to quote other posts we are responding to at full length but rather quote a snippet and allow the reader to go back to the original if they wanted the info again. But some people think they have to repost the entirety of other's post so as to drive home a point.. which is silly methinks, and the flow of posts suffers because of it, imo, of course. - MyManao

You broke Rob's Rules in the very next post you made after saying people are silly for doing what you went right ahead and did just as soon as you could.  If you're going to be The Punaweb Post Police Person, you probably should begin with - you, MyManao.

LOL! I mean literally, thanks for the laugh! Brother 'Tang, if you're gonna pick a bicker.. let's do it over here.. in the little kiddies sandbox where such silliness belongs, eh?

And, btw.. you're stretching here.. I posted two paragraphs of a 60 page document. Two paragraphs. Sorta like the green meanie demonstrated by editing your's down to a few paragraphs. But hey, when your ego's bruised and you're itching to bicker who gives a shite one word two paragraphs or the whole shootin' match? It makes no never mind cause you're itching to bicker and bicker you will. Bravo 'Tang!

And, hopefully, when you're done you still got the grace left in you to love the mothers in your life..

I was left wondering WTF on that comment too.

Ironyak, you'll be happy to know I cancelled Prime today. Should have a long time ago...

Good choice. The article link below itemizes dollar numbers and corporate comparisons that show why we don’t receive the same tax breaks bestowed as a common courtesy among billionaires. Bezos also goes on CNBC this week to talk out of both sides of his mouth, one side masquerading concern for a nameless mythical nurse, the other side failing to mention why his business practices don’t allow that concern to be implemented in any meaningful way.

And check out what Bozo said in regards to our commander in chief today.  At first I thought this must be a joke from the Onion.  But no!
