QuoteI only ever discovered foaming at the mouth and hating anyone who dared contradict it when I ran into the true beleivers of peak oil

How can a finite resource not PEAK.  Do tell. 

<sigh>
I've said it 100 times, if not a thousand. And people who want to believe they know what I am pull out the usual tied cliche, and attach it to me anyway.

For the 1001st time....Hubbert's mathematics and written description of peak oil in his 1956 seminal paper was correct. For those who have perhaps forgotten what he wrote, and used an equation to describe, the words were along the lines of "to all production of a finite resource there is a beginning, and middle and an end."

How about fact based calculations using the best information money can buy applied to the geosciences and econometrics involved backed by a larger budget than every peak oiler and website following the topic and academic study had combined?

You are disingenuous and are lying your ass off.  For the 1001st time my ass.  YOU NEVER MAKE THAT QUALIFICATION.  Since you take me as a passive fool who will give your lie a win with an inadequate response you are in the cooler for three days.  When you get back perhaps you can lay some of your "fact based calculations using the best information money can buy" on us, since you never have before.

And yes I deleted the post.  You are on my website I can do that, it is called free speech, my free speech.  Which I have here and you don't.  Your lies are not protected.  Trolls do not have free speech.

Good choice.  I almost did it myself for the mid argument reversals.

Yes, un-believable it is.  The logic of 'him' thinking he has free speech to shit on our free speech is on par with his logic of claiming to be a professional without any proof he is.  Basically it lies and tries to be reasonable with me for a while, and then strongly defects.  They should really improve 'its' software before they let it back in.  Background checks are part of being a professional and he has no resume to send me in a message.  I think I have asked for that a few times!  But when your Deep State chatbot is just a rip-off of a real profile, you can't do that. 

Their rudimentary exercise of the prisoners dilemma shows their agent to not be not so good, the pattern is always the same.  But that is not evidence.  Failure to send me the resume, that is evidence.  Real evidence.

If you can't prove you are not part of the simulacrum, then simulcra is all you are.

Simulacra and Simulation

The industrial age gave rise to hyperreal simulations where signs replace reality, eroding truth through endless replication and information overload. Baudrillard observes that culture becomes a hollow spectacle, with technology and systems like media events and credit scores constructing artificial realities, while individuality dissolves into serial copies and meaning is consumed faster than it can be renewed.

Something like that.

He has free speech.  He can put up his own web site and speak as freely as he wants.  We have no obligation to publish everything he writes.  That is called Editorial Control.  And he is also well aware that complaining about our editorial policy is a Violation of the CoC.  3 more days in the cooler.

I will admit that when I first was online I had the common, and totally foolish notion that free speech actually meant letting everybody talk and say whatever they wanted to.

Looking back it seems like an incredibly stupid point of view to have.  Because once someone 'owns' a press, as apposed to printing shit with someone else's, things change.  Ideas about free speech mature quickly.  Until then it is easy to have the foolish notion because you expect everyone else to have your own standards of behavior.

Which is rarely true.
