I appreciate you taking the time to respond; it was a generous use of your attention. I realize I haven't provided an exhaustive deep dive into this specific subject yet—and I certainly intend to expand on my position more thoroughly in due course—but the core principles I am laying out here remain universally applicable to everyone on this forum.
Kimberly White63 said:Jerry Robinson56: I won't bother quoting your specific post here; there is an intervening comment between yours and my response, and quite frankly, there is no sense in cluttering up the page with unnecessary scrolling.
You are both right and wrong. I have already cautioned you about indulging in such overly aggressive outbursts; if you continue, I will be forced to delete your posts, which are otherwise perfectly relevant and quite dry.
That is true, but this is where we finally arrive at the crux of the matter.
I didn't raise an objection regarding the previous deletions or the instances where my posts were censored—those were legitimate calls, and she was objectively correct to act. However, this latest deletion is nothing short of a disgrace. She scrubbed the post almost instantly without even bothering to read it. To make matters worse, her subsequent "response" was a total farce. I suppose I could grant some leniency there, considering my initial phrasing was somewhat ambiguous, though any reasonable person should have grasped my intent. But once the question was properly articulated? That’s when she resorted to outright lying.One can certainly observe the details laid out in that particular post.
Kimberly White63 said:I find your attacks on our colleague to be entirely misplaced. I am not offering this observation out of some misguided sense of professional solidarity, but rather from a position of sincere conviction. She is genuinely striving to perform her duties to the highest possible standard—a stark contrast to my own recent performance, as I have already candidly admitted in my report that I haven't been putting in much effort lately. I find myself profoundly disillusioned by the overall atmosphere of this PDF, as well as my own utter inability to bring it into any semblance of order..
It is not your responsibility to offer comfort. When you encounter individuals who are pathologically exclusionary and aggressive in their rhetoric, there is no point in attempting to provide solace. In those instances, one finds that the only pragmatic course of action is to mirror their tone; otherwise, any attempt at assistance is entirely futile.
Violence begets more violence—unless, of course, one isn't being sufficiently forceful about it. I realize how blunt that sounds, but it is simply an unyielding law of nature. You aren't going to change certain people by pointing out the truth or attempting to show empathy for "them." Some things are just immutable.
She is failing miserably at her "job," if one can even call it that. This is a technical subject where reality can be proven definitively every single time—take, for instance, that transparent hose filled with water used to establish a level position. Or consider those deleted posts where she so eloquently explained why there isn't a single chair in sight and how the "landing problem" was supposedly solved. Instead of actually addressing the root cause, she simply hides the cure. And let’s be honest, she’s hiding the version that doesn't come with side effects. She approaches her work much like a bureaucrat attempting to justify blatant nepotism.
And where exactly is this topic heading? You can see it for yourself.
Kimberly White63 said:Even your own post serves as a perfect illustration of the point I made earlier: you have a persistent tendency to conflate logical arguments with personal attacks.
One can observe that they aren't immediately clicking... Just look at the sequence involving that particular individual—it’s quite transparent, isn't it? In all my previous posts, there hasn't been a single insult; I have simply been providing clear, logical explanations. Yet, he persists in initiating a new flame in every subsequent thread, only to be met with an entirely civil response each time. Let me be clear: Alternative is not a playground for nonsense or for mocking Natural Science. It is a dedicated pursuit of what is possible.
Unknown is contrary to the forum rules, but if a moderator fails to engage with the "other" side, what choice remains for you? Simply sit there and take it?
I am an atheist😉 and I merely reflect their own image back at them.
Believe it or not, I am capable of writing with clinical precision—believe that instead, and it will hurt more—but this is how it is... we aren't machines, we are human beings.
Furthermore, the repetition of the word "clean" in the post I was referencing was intentional. If you have doubts, specify the word or sentence and I shall clarify, though nothing should be left to uncertainty. Even Brenda Gonzalez12's posts involve a man exhausting himself with explanations, whereas this Unknown finds satisfaction only in trivialities... quite frankly. And even in those little gadgets...
Kimberly White63 said:So, I suggest once again that you attempt to communicate with a bit more composure and think before you steamroll someone (though I realize you might find that difficult since that is simply your way of communicating, and who am I to try to change you).
A good approach is a correct approach. I understand both Brenda Gonzalez12 and several others here, much like Jason Grant, Ibrahim, and many more. It isn't about changing behavior, but about application; collisions are a natural occurrence that invigorate both sides, albeit not simultaneously. The only true insults are lies and injustice... passion can be used as an excuse... I must mention again the example of the moderator who, after an objection was raised, rescinded his warning; he possesses extraordinary logic, and although many criticize him, he is not wrong. And that was the only instance, because the rest were handed out to me personally...
He could have easily noted that I was already in the "clear"... you understand, correctness.
Kimberly White63 said:I don't want to get involved in your relationship with moderators on other forums, but on Alternative, no one has suffered due to a moderator's personal animosity; if that were the case, a few users would have been permanently banned long ago.
That was not my intention, as to quote you, who am I... I simply wanted you to know that the path ahead is predictable and well-trodden. There is no "haggling." If I am wrong, I will admit it and remain silent, accepting the outcome; if I am right, it is game over unless proven otherwise.
A permanent ban might be a cure, but corruption and threats are more potent than execution, and a simpler way is to directly establish an undeniable fact.
If someone refuses to accept that 1+1=2 and denies it entirely...?
Note: technical matters—biological and chemical ones—are delicate.
But one can observe the discrepancy without issue, though there is always room for "two" for the sake of entertainment.
Progress only occurs through the acceptance of the undeniable; everything is written, no matter how bizarre it may seem.
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.
