$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('marmico', 'L')oren Soman's September 21, 2016, ETP update3 triangle of DOOM came and went without nary a peep from the author. ROTFLMFAO.

ETP minus $8 and counting.

What rules? You mean like the kind that should be instituted to keep pimps and salesmen for stupid models from polluting public discourse? Or endless cutting and pasting of discredited ideas from people who don't themselves have the ability to think and can only parrot others?

I think it would be good to have some rules to stop folks like that.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'A')dam did the same thing, he posted a photo of my wife in the field on her biological survey.

Loren, don't you just pull out another piece of graph paper and draw another triangle of DOOM? You could stretch the x-axis, compress the y-axis, even draw partially filled candlesticks to smudge up the chart.

Dredging up personal information and stalking should be an automatic permanent ban. This subject should not even be debated, it is a form of assault and goes well beyond any ad hominem attacks and trolling.

There's three posters here who come across as the most cocky and dogmatic about their positions: Whatever, PStarr, and Shortonoil. Everyone else tends to couch their positions within a range of probability. If you truly want a dialogue you have to leave the door open to the possibility that you're wrong. It's an attempt to better understand the issues. Those who feel they already know everything there is to know and desire to only preach to the converted should go off and start their heavily moderated and filtered blogs.

In the meantime, don't be surprised if this arrogant dogmatic pronouncements tend to encourage the most ad hom-like rebuttals. It's what people do when they feel the other side doesn't even want to listen to what the other side has to say.

PStarr's sig says everything about his true feelings about internet decorum.

This is a guy who alluded to shooting me with a rifle. He should have a restraining order on him by now.

All these wilting violets should spend some time looking in the mirror before crying foul.

I don't give a crap who the quote came from. It's the context. Someone who emphasizes the virtue of anger in his sig is saying something unflattering about his value-system.

It's the sense of satisfaction in ranting and raving and bashing. It's a problem that afflicts the majority of doomers. They are in love with their hate (for BAU). It provides them with a sense of purpose, of stability, regularity. It's easier to tear down than it is to build up, to fight against, rather than fight for, to point out problems rather than find (feasible) solutions. What shall we do with this anger? Maybe become eco-terrorists like Derrick Jensen would prefer? Most doomers are content being paper tigers, taking their frustration out behind their keyboards.

Color me unimpressed.
