Koz - No First Name in Marginalia

I hope it comes quicker than your photo

Or your evidence discrediting the Marginalia.

Regardless of politics

Coming from a relatively ignorant newbie, there are far too many people on these boards who will viciously attack any point of view put forward which threatens their own entrenched situation...what makes this worse is that there is a kind of selective blindness between target theorem and target theorist...

I'm no angel, (God knows I make my mistakes, and I am fully prepared to pay for them), but I at least hope I see a difference between vigorously challenging a theorem, and badmouthing it's proponent...many alas do not...

I'm even more saddened that people like Philip, Rob and John, (all people I deeply respect), won't post here any more...

But please, on a practical level, what can we do to rectify this situation?

Genuinely

Dave

Dave,

I didn't say they won't post on here, or that they won't post anything of significance.

What I'm saying is that they are more considered.

They may choose a publication, book or internet to share their finds. The medium is their choice and not ours to dictate.

However, as I said, they do still post.

That wont take a lot to do that

What amazes me is you with your background you can sit there and honestly beleive the content of it in the first instance and then continually suggest it is all genuine.

Hello Tom,

Is this another example of your infamous satirical humour?

For as it is Wimbledon fortnight in GB, I'll quote Mr McEnroe..

"You canNOT be serious!"

Hi Monty,

With respect I guess the medium always was theirs to choose, so, not being funny, I don't entirely understand the point you're making...

Leaving that aside, in your view, is there anything us average, run-of-the-mill, everyday posters can do (without infringing on normal human rights) to ensure that the diligent and conscientious researchers in our community don't get hammered?

Hi Dave,

What can we do to rectify the situation?

Stop discussing all the tired old crap we've been regurgitating for the past 125 years.

Come to our senses and realise that SY's finest were not necessarily telling the truth.

Stop swapping ill-informed opinion and knuckle-down to some serious research.

That would be a giant step forward.

Regards,

Simon

No humor/humour. I'm sick of hearing that the Casebook posters are a bunch of bullies who chase people away. AP Wolf chased Hutch away five years ago. It's time we move past that, or at least find another example, since AP doesn't post here any more either. And Cog seems to have made it his personal mission to slap wrists around here, so since there are 'too many people here who will viciously attack any point of view, etc', I want him to name just ONE...one poster who logs in for no reason other than to viciously attack every other poster, and who remarkably doesn't get dinged, suspended, or banned for it. With so many options for him to choose from, this should be an easy task.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

Well, that one was a no-brainer. Okay, name two. Cog's turn.

Three active posters on this thread are Simon, Trevor, and Monty...three posters who like to post about what they're not ready to post. Let's see if we can't point this army of bullies THEIR way and see what can be shaken loose.

Hello Simon,

Yes, I totally agree..., but you know and I know it won't happen because some people have a vested interest it seems in keeping the wheels on the wagon going around and around in perpetuity. Until that rubbish stops we get nowhere. Until the mould is broken from within the inner circle.. it will carry on and on, and some will be laughing and derising at all attempts to try to stop it.

Hi Phil. Please name the 'inner circle' for me and I'll send Le Grand now to snap their necks.

Yours truly,
