Yes, thanks.
Interesting but nothing new.
These 'closed systems' are exactly what characterize syndromes
like autism, or, what we mostly see on Usenet, Asperger's syndrome:
http://www.udel.edu/bkirby/asperger/aswhatisit.html
http://www.users.dircon.co.uk/~cns/
But these are of course just *names* that psychotherapists
invent to describe what anyone would just call "annoying people".
I think that the only real effective way into their world is by
violently kicking their bottoms. At least in Androcles' case
this seems to have a profound effect: repeatedly emphasising
how incredibly stupid he actually is and rubbing his nose in
the stuff he drops on the carpet, provokes reactions like this:

What I think interesting is having the president
of the USA say he saw the first plane hit the
twin towers on TV and nobody calls him out on that?
There *was* no TV image of the first plane hit on that morning.
Unless he saw it on a private viewing of the
crime of the century- of which he had prior knowledge.
Which makes him a monster of the first order.
Just the 'kooks'?
Psychologists subscribe to a world view. If
that world view includes believing lies, then, yes,
it might take some work to convert some people.

What is the difference between xi and x'?
Shit or get of the pot, net kook.
Androcles
If you had ever taken algebra, you would know that symbols
such as these only have the meanings we assign to them, so
in the absence of any other information, the only correct
answer is:
"xi is an x followed by an i, while x' is an x followed
by a prime (or apostrophe)".
But thanks for giving the OP an excellent example of a
net kook.

PD lays out a set of criteria by which he judges posts not worth
responding to. None of them corresponds to the highlighted
accusation "you only open your mind to someone who kisses your
arse". Do I need to go through them one by one in gory
detail?
So the "immortal fumble" is the statement "that's exactly
what you said" when nothing close to that statement appears
anywhere in the list. I'll go through the list one by one if you
like.

accusations of McCarthyism, evillness, censorship, the usual.

I remind you that your accusation is that these are posts where
the poster was not making an idiot of themselves, but was

your three examples qualify.
1. Are you saying that Pantelje did not make an accusation
of slander, or did not slander someone? Which of those
was misunderstood?
2. Are you saying that one of those criteria does correspond
to "won't kiss your arse"? Or that "won't kiss your arse" was
misunderstood? What was misunderstood here?
3. Are you saying that this is not a long rant accusing someone
of evil, censorship, McCarthyism, etc? What part of it was
misunderstood in your opinion?

Do you know that in the English language, certain phrase can have
different meanings.
"that's exactly what you said" in this context is implying that that's
what PD meant without actually saying it.
This is quite obvious, since srp's previous sentence appeared nowhere

"That's exactly what you said" is a phrase commonly used to mean that's
what was being said without actually saying it.
I didn't take this phrase to mean that PD actually wrote that he should
kiss his arse, since it is obvious that PD wrote no such thing.

phases actually mean that something is very very good.

You: And half the time the so called mistake is in your

Me: I'll bite. Pick two or three where you think the mistake is

So I'll grant that this is not included as a fumble. I just found
it odd that you included it as an example of "the so called
mistake is in your interpretation of what was written" since
your objection is not that anything written was misinterpreted.

OK, so you are claiming, over and over, that something on that
list corresponds to "won't kiss your arse".
Since you believe this, I trust you can point out which one(s).

Right. Hence my question:

Got that, folks:
frequency is about 1.42GHz, measured with extreme precision.
There is no problem counting at 1.42 GHz (in principle)... with extreme
precision, using a caesium clock, for example:
The second is the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation
corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the
ground state of the cesium 133 atom. - NIST.
It is very easy to count 6.473684345 ticks of a caesium clock.

The misinterpretation here is that the whole post was interpreted as a
fumble.

He didn't make an accusation of slander, neither did he slander anyone.

The above does not mention who he was supposed to have slandered.

The whole of the reply is basically saying "kiss my arse". Another
phrase which you might misinterpret.

The whole of the reply is given with a "holier than thou" attitute.
PD often comes across in this fashion.

"whether the poster has expressed any lucidity or capability for
self-consistent thought"
- basically saying that he can't think straight.
"whether the poster is clearly ignorant of basic principles that can be
demonstrated with everyday facts and experiments"
-basically saying that he is ignoring the facts.
"whether the poster seems at all receptive to positive criticism"
-basically saying that he ignores peoples responses.
etc.
Taken all together, is basically says, "kiss my arse".

I'm saying that the whole response is saying "kiss my arse".

I was providing a post which was misinterpreted, not misunderstood. The
misinterpretation was that the post was somehow a fumble, which we both
agree that it wasn't.

OK, let's go through it.

>> >- whether the poster has expressed any lucidity or capability for

Asking that someone write lucidly is asking for "kissing my ass"?
>>> - whether the poster is clearly ignorant of basic principles that can
>>> be demonstrated with everyday facts and experiments
Asking that somebody proposing "new physics" be consistent
with everyday facts is "kissing my ass"?
>>> - whether the poster seems at all receptive to positive criticism
Asking that somebody be a two-way rather than "write-only"
participant in a conversation is asking him to "kiss my ass"?
>>> - whether the poster is simply interested in self-aggrandizement and
>>> not at all interested in what is demonstrably right
Asking somebody to be interested in discussion rather than
self-aggrandizement is asking him to "kiss my ass"?
>>> - whether the poster is under some gross delusions about what science

Asking somebody to learn what science is before criticizing it
is asking to "kiss my ass"?
>>> - whether the poster judges that an entire community of scientists is
>>> wrong about something even though the poster has not taken the time to
>>> read or study anything about that something
Asking somebody to learn anything at all about a subject before
concluding that everyone in that subject is wrong is asking to
"kiss my ass"?
>>> - whether the poster is so egocentric that he presumes that anything he
>>> writes will be read with interest and responded to.
Deciding not to respond to egocentrism is asking someone to
"kiss my ass"?
Yes, apparently "kiss my ass" means something different to you
than to me. To me it means I'm asking someone to praise me,
to flatter me. All I see above is a request not to shit in the
living room.
