You certainly don't act it. You act like you are in your teens.

Old enough to be looking at my 40 HS reunion soon.

It certainly is a requirement for workable ideas. The pressures down there are
extreme plus they have to use remote unmanned underwater rovers to do all the
mechanical work. Their diamond saw was stuck on one of the pipes and now they
aren't sure it's even working now that it's free.

EH>>>> Take a look in the mirror. You are doing the very

EH>>> There's that high opinion you have of yourself again.

You need serious therapy.

No, you need professional help.

It's just an observation.
ml>> [trim]
EH>>>> No, it was rather easy. I'm amused that you
EH>>>> claim you couldn't find anything when you tried.
ml>>> i didn't claim any such thing... i stated a fact...
EH>>> ROFLOL! Both Cassell and I were able to find thousands of

EH>> Whatever makes you happy.

I couldn't care less why you thought it was relevant.

You may have tried hard to cover up the fact that you didn't do a search, but
it is blatantly obvious from looking at the fact that it took only seconds to
find citation with the simplest of search terms.
EH>>>> You're the one castigating. I suggested you do
EH>>>> a search, you turned around and claimed your
EH>>>> search found nothing in an attempt to make it
EH>>>> sound like I made it all up.
ml>>> no, ed... i don't play stupid childish games like that... quite unlike
ml>>> other supposed adults in this and other political venues...
EH>>> Is that so? Then explain your claimed zero results when compared to
EH>>> the ease at which I came up with one.
ml>> i already explained that... oh hey! there's a nit over there you

EH>> I'm not picking nits, I'm pointing out your lack of honesty.
ml> ORLY? you must be psychic... tell us what the winning powerball numbers
ml> for tomorrow's drawing, please ;) while you're at it, tell us how you
ml> know that i'm being dishonest...
It's easy to see your dishonesty. No psychic powers needed.
EH>> You make a claim that there was no evidence on the internet WRT
EH>> the BHO administration awarding BP a safety award just prior to
EH>> the rig blowing up.
ml> no i did not... stop putting words in my mouth... in fact, stop
ml> interpreting what i write and twisting it into something i didn't state...
Yes, you did. You made the claim that you could find nothing, implying that it
wasn't there. When Ross Cassell and I both pointed out to you that it was easy
to find, you started equivocating.
EH>> When it was pointed out to you that there is plenty on the
EH>> internet about it, you start playing games.
ml> you loose, dude... thanks for playing!
You lost before you started... dude.
ml>> [trim]
EH>>>>> My heroes? Who would that be?
EH>>>> You failed to answer this. Who is/are my hero[es]?
ml>>> no, i didn't "fail to answer" it, ed... i specifically
ml>>> ignored it... you know who your heros are and you know
ml>>> those that you pattern yourself after...
EH>>> No, I don't know who you think my heroes are or who you think I
EH>>> pattern myself after.
ml> i didn't say anything about who i thought your heros were... in fact, i
ml> don't care who they are because it is patently obvious that you can't
ml> read or understand plain english... is it your third or fourth language?
You continue to equivocate. You claimed I had heroes and that I was patterning
my life after them. I say I don't have any heroes. You obviously think I have
some hero(es), but refuse to elaborate. This is yet more evidence of your
dishonesty.
ml>> i didn't say anything about who i thought your heros are/were... again
ml>> you try to put words in my mouth... give it up, eh?
EH>> ROFLOL!
EH>> You made the claim, back it up. You are the one claiming I have
EH>> heroes and that I emulate them. Either you had some idea who these
EH>> supposed heroes are, or you're just shooting in the dark.
ml> you made the claim that i'm being dishonest... you made the claim that i
ml> stated there was no evidence on the internet of an award given by the
ml> current administration to BP for that oil well... how's about you start
ml> off by backing those up ;)
I have backed up every claim I have made. You, OTOH, have been going in circles
trying to keep from backing up any of your claims.
ml>> [trim]
EH>>>> Then, what was your point about the BHO
EH>>>> administration being busy running the country?
ml>>> hummm... could one part of it be that it is the same as what others in
ml>>> that position have done before him? think about it... you're a bright
ml>>> boy... i'm sure you'll figure it out one day :P
EH>>> And here we have your usual ad hom.
ml>> yawn... what ad hom? and what do you mean by "usual"?? you definitely
ml>> have me confused with someone else...
EH>> Your use of the term "bright boy" and "I'm sure you'll figure it
EH>> out someday" in an attempt to call my intelligence into question.
ml> i wasn't calling your intelligence into question... you are pretty
ml> "bright" aren't you? you did graduate from high school, didn't you?
ml> you're obviously bright enough to carry on some degree of discussion so
ml> why are you taking that praise in such a negative manner?
Your use of the term wasn't a sign of your acknowledgement of my intelligence.
ml> as for you "figuring it out someday", surely that is possible... you may
ml> not know the answer today or tomorrow but you'll find it/one
ml> "someday"... you're not stupid or uneducated... in fact, you are rather
ml> bright and knowledgable... so why all the negativity? surely it isn't
ml> due to ignorance...
Keep twisting and spinning...
EH>> You think you are clever, but you really aren't.
ml> sounds like you have a personal problem there ;)
That's right, make your behavior my problem. Typical.
EH>>> You make a comment and when challenged, you act like you're too
EH>>> smart to deal with such questions. Either back up your claims, or
EH>>> crawl back under the rock you came from.
EH>> <childish nonsense snipped>
ml> awww... you didn't like that?
I thought it was childish. "Like" has nothing to do with it.
