Presumably Hammond got that during is time at the mental
institution (see D. Kossy "Kooks"). It doesn't seem to have

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.

Guess what America?
You're no longer free.

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)".

Yes, that briefly crossed my mind a while ago as well, but I
don't think he's Androcles.
Androcles has learned a new word and calls him an imbecile.
He calls Androles a senile old fart:

It is... I should think the first thing these people need is to be
confronted, regularly and close-up, with the reality that there are
countless others out there just like themselves. That can only be done
in group therapy. Does the psychologist use this particular awareness
(nonuniqueness of each particular subject) as part of his work?

However, yourself, you do talk exactly like any totalitarian system, when
they do remark that a people becomes to understand more their bullshit and
becomes to see clearly the life evolution.

Therefore, they do say to them that they do have to make more psychologists
as to arrive to end it by installing a police state all along.

Finally, that a people becomes more and more frighten from each other and
from anything which it does move and anything which it does not move
neither, simply as that.

The "closed system" of the kook is typified by Dork Van de merde and

logically, simply because they cannot.
They are as sheep, all eating the same grass and bleating with one voice.

I should think the first thing these people need is to be confronted,

I believe it is pointing out the irony between Pantelje's
slander and his accusation of slander. Note the highlights.

How does this support your accusation?

> http://users.telenet.be/vdmoortel/dirk/Physics/Fumbles/ExactlyWhatYouSaid.html

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.

How does this support your accusation?

> http://users.telenet.be/vdmoortel/dirk/Physics/Fumbles/YourMotives.html

Not sure why this was worth saving. It's just a long rant by someone
claiming to be telepathic. "I know your motives, you are evil" random
accusations of McCarthyism, evillness, censorship, the usual.

How does this support your accusation?

I remind you that your accusation is that these are posts where
the poster was not making an idiot of themselves, but was
sensible and merely misunderstood. So please tell me how
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?

> In these examples, there are no mistakes to be misinterpreted.

Ah. But then why did you hold them up as examples of
posters who were misinterpreted if there was nothing to
misinterpret?

Curioser and curioser. I no longer know what point you're
making.

Poor forgetful Androcles has forgotten that he is the one who
did the editing tying that comment (about another equation)
to this equation, and that they didn't originally occur in the
same post.

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
in PD's response.

"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.

Ever heard of the phases "the dogs bollocks" or "shit hot", these
phases actually mean that something is very very good.

None of it was misunderstood. It was a long rant from one person pissed
off with another person. How is that an "Immortal fumble".

Someone with knowledge of the English language should not have had any
trouble understanding what was meant.

Since you and Dirk seem to speak English quite well, it must be
diliberate misinterpretation on your parts.

The point I was making is that a lot of these so called "Immortal

all, they are just the opionions of pissed off people.

Hence my question. Which of them do you think corresponds
to the, let us call it, paraphrase? Which of PD's statements
do you think can be characterized that way?

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


interpretation of what has been written.

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

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).

> 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.

Right. Hence my question:


Are you saying that one of those criteria does correspond

to "won't kiss your arse"? Which one?

> Ever heard of the phases "the dogs bollocks" or "shit hot",

No. This may be news to you, but slang in one English-speaking
country is not necessarily used in another.

> these phases actually mean that something is very very good.

I'll take your word for it. Now can you answer my question?

It isn't. But nor is it what you claimed to be providing, a
post which was misunderstood.

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.

Now THAT is a net kook.

Obviously, srp thought that all the statements as a whole where being

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.

>
> Since you believe this, I trust you can point out which one(s).

"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".

Hence, the misinterpretations.

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.

Asking that someone write lucidly is asking for "kissing my ass"?

>>> - whether the poster is clearly ignorant of basic principles that can

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

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"?

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.
