Hmm cosy. But there you have it, a fellow has something straightforward and interesting to say about aircraft, but still feels the need to disclaim interest in any WEIRD stuff - that would be like getting in a lift with dogpoo on your shoes...no offence Happy, thanks for posting, but it's just a handy metaphor for where any of Cinderella should-be Sciences will remain in 'normal' society (God help us), never invited in, and a bad smell under the noses of so many....i see the doubt here that i had enough to say to truthfully type an extensive end to this thread, and this shows the cant of - not the playing field, but the Gladitorial arena...the combatitive terminology, the unnecessary sarcasm, presumptions and misquoting, and framing of an invite to an alternative circus where nothing awaits but sharp knives and overblinding science, from someone using posts that would get warnings at least in said venue, makes a third attempt seem futile. There are none so blind as those who will not see, apart from the blind sitting in a philosophical bunker manning a semantic machine gun...
I started this to form a simple enough request, and have stated plainly that thats all i would want to do right here.
I'll look at that site more fully another time, but from the need to reinforce policy i see there already, that one could probably expect barely restrained butchery, when i'm approaching subjects that require at least some sensitivity to a possible new paradigm, not the lumbering champions of an establishment that has consistently trumpeted the impassable limits of the possible, only to have them surpassed time and time again through the centuries - not that the comforting public amnesia ever stops the men in white coats having the say.
You'll crow, of course, and use Ah Diddums replies, but you should gather that i've taken plenty flak, non-anonymously, that it matters not a jot to me.
But i did like a quote i saw on BadAstronomy, it pretty much said don't put down to malice what can be more likely attributed to stupidity or ignorance, so although some of this stuff has painted a potentially useful picture for some, of what 'out the box' thinking can automatically encounter, that gives a nicer way of looking at it, so Peace and Love Brothers, i won't be back even to looksee, but i've thrown a few easy balls up in the air here, see how far you can bat them!
