Pro,
You seem to have a problem living up to your pledges. Should I remind you what you, yourself, pledged a couple posts ago?
Criticism does throw a thread off-topic.
Only when a 3rd party distorts it into something it is not. Einstein and I have our go-arounds. We each get under the other's skin here and there... but I don't believe we hate each other. At least I do not hate him, and I have (more than once) praised the value of his experimental bent.
You got a problem with it?
When you started the "crackpot" post, it makes a person feel "low"
It may have made you feel "low" but it was not directed at you. I don't see Einstein continuing to whine about it.
That is a real "deal breaker" buddy.
So is not living up to your word..."buddy".
Now you presume to know what I know, and wish to state it for me? Will the arrogance ever end?
heck even I think you dont even believe in nature of balance. If you did, you wouldnt be spouting criticism anywhere on a SCI FI FORUM.
Your judgments remind me of someone... someone I once knew.... Anyway, call my criticisms a "weakness". Or you could call it a professional asset. I "criticize" (grade) a lot of student work just as much as I "criticize" (review) a lot of professional work. It is not the bad thing you make it out to be.
And BTW, I highly doubt Einstein would categorize his work as "SCI FI". In fact, your branding his work in such a way might make him feel "low". /ttiforum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Why not start your own thread where we can do this till the cows come home? You seem to like it!
