Apparently. Now, it's aliens...of the extraterrestrial, not extraterritorial, kind.
Ha! Thanks for pointing that out. Although "laughingstock" doesn't make much sense either, I enjoy grammatical errors at times.

You mean there were TWO missiles fired?
Nice to be back on the Political board; you can always trust that one of the board conservatives is predicting the end of the world.![]()
you're afraid of that too, right?
I think CC needs to learn the definition of trolling, or get better at it. As it is, it just looks like he comes up with dumb ideas, gets schooled, and then uses the "I was only joking!" excuse that stopped working around 3rd grade.
Intelligence blogs = Rush Limbaugh's homepage, Drudge Report
There's no such thing as bacteria. I've looked over and over on my skin, and I've never seen any wormy wiggly things on there that them thur scientists are always talking bout.
Welcome back; making up for lost time?
Do you think Rush Limbaugh (whose site I rarely visit) or DrudgeReport (a real good news aggregater but not much of a analytical site) would bother with asserting an uncertainty and then, express the hope that whatever it is, they hoped it was harmless?
Trying!Thanks for the welcome back.
I think the thig is Yoni, if you say "intelligence blogs" people are interested in reading them, as they might be able to read those sites and see whether the writers are knowledgeable, use correct facts, etc etc.
By stating you read "intelligence blogs" you were using a form of "appeal to authority", we're just making sure the appeal is a correct one. After all, if I comment on some medical condition by referencing "medical pages", but don't list which ones, why would I trust anyone to take me at face value? The internet tends to make claims of personal credibility highly dubious.
In normal company, that would be true. But, not in here.
Again, had the statement required "authority," you'd have a point. Since I was stating a personal opinion on an aggregate of what I read across several sources I didn't think it necessary. We can disagree on that, oh well.
And, once again, that reasoning is not an insulator in here. It wouldn't matter if I footnoted my posts with sources my critics frequented, I'd still be attacked. Picking nits is a favorite past (pass) time of my trolls.
But, thanks for attempting to mediate. And, truthfully, I'm not sure from which of the blogs I frequent daily, of which there are approximately 30, I
drew that opinion. I just said intelligence blogs because most of the other ones actually stated theories -- much of which tracked the conversation in here.
Long story short; you're free to say you've read intelligence blogs, and we're free to not believe the credibility of whatever blogs you're reading.![]()

you. We wanted to read the blogs.
Now we think they don't exist.
Absolutely.
Trolling rule #1: If you have to tell others you're trolling you're not doing it right.
Talking to yourself?
Do you understand how a message board works?
It was funnier when I said it to him.
If you care nothing for your own credibility why should anyone else believe you?
Never said they should.
I never said you did.
So, what's the point of making the point?
You can read. I already made it.
You obviously can't. I asked what the point was of making the point.
If you got the point, that was the point. If you didn't, you're more or less oblivious to English.
