Quote: Matthew Stott @ February 25 2009, 12:35 PM GMTHuh? You seriously confused, because it's quite obvious what he meant there.
It's only "obvious" if one has knowledge of "nineteen-fifties B movies".
Things you bragged about at school but never did.. Page 12
It's only easy if you know the answer - silliest catchphrase ever.
Quote: Aaron @ February 25 2009, 12:40 PM GMTIt's actually quite sad.
I know you are, but what am I? Childrens hour over now?

Not really. It was explained well enough in the post to get what he was driving at, even if you haven't a great knowledge of the oevre.
Quote: chipolata @ February 25 2009, 12:34 PM GMTI was merely alluding to the fact that your view of science and scientists is not that different from the knee-jerk dislike of them we saw reflected in nineteen-fifties B-movies. Apologies for being so obtuse.
Pointing out faults does not equate to anything near a "knee-jerk dislike" in something.
Quote: Matthew Stott @ February 25 2009, 12:43 PM GMTYes Aaron, that's right. Jesus.
Yes, yes I am. Glad you've finally acknowledged it.

You're a knee-jerk!

No it wasn't. But then, since you evidently have such knowledge yourself, you can't be expected to have the ability of objectiveness, or to understand that without that knowledge, one may not be able to make such sub-conscious connections.

Yeah, well, you smell!
My nephew turned 4 last week, you guys would get along like a house on fire...
Quote: Aaron @ February 25 2009, 12:45 PM GMTYes, yes I am. Glad you've finally acknowledged it.
About what though? One day maybe we'll find out. One day.

Children do tend to be quite inquisitive. I expect he'd drive chip and Matthew to madness with his incessant questioning of their statements. 
(And undermining of their 'facts'.)

He wouldn't drive me mad. I love punching children.

I believe it was we who started questioning you. Over not much really. But it obviously riled you to an insane degree.
Quote: Matthew Stott @ February 25 2009, 12:50 PM GMTAbout what though? One day maybe we'll find out. One day.
I doubt that you ever will.
Quote: Aaron @ February 25 2009, 12:51 PM GMT(And undermining of their 'facts'.)
What facts? I gave no facts about anything, just said you made a bit of a sweeping statement.
Quote: Aaron @ February 25 2009, 12:53 PM GMTI doubt that you ever will.
I hope not Aaron, for many, many different reasons.

Riled? Not at all. I pity your obnoxiousness too much to be riled by it.
And you did not question me. You attempted to 'correct' an opinion with your own statements of the obvious.

And on that, no one can argue otherwise.
