IBDaMann = Into the Night = gfm7175 = Sybil, a schizophrenic. I suspect he's also Uncensored2008Thanks for responding. The topic of your first interaction with IBD had come up. I imagined that, like IBD, you go by something of a "I don't strike first, but I do retaliate" motto. IBD disagreed. Here's what he said:
**
You would be greatly mistaken. Her first words to me were insults, along with others with whom she intended to gang-fling poo.
**
I was skeptical, but I -have- seen some posters go straight for the jugular with some newbies that looked innocent to me, so I couldn't rule it out. It's just that you don't seem the type.
Update: I decided to see if I could see first hand what your first interaction with IBDaMann was. Looks like it was this post:
I mean, I think it was a tad insulting, but rather tame by the standards of this place.
There's a few other MAGA scumbag and Pedo President supporters who have multiple accounts. It's why I know they are weak, spineless, poorly educated and generally lower IQ and/or demented/brain damaged.

I don't have to tell you who Damocles is. He's an insecure child who dives deeper into his tantrums daily. He lied about being MAGAt scum until he embraced his authentic self. He's trash. I think all your Ignores -- the ones you chose and the ones the pussy put onto you -- probably make your experience in this garbage forum just a little bit better. The rest of us can and do have worthwhile conversations and debates. The Trumpists are just pure sewer scum, and since the dickless owner of this board spends his days searching for TACO's dick pics, I don't expect improvement.It's a special rule @Damocles made for special people. Mainly non-MAGAts scumbags. My guess it was to protect his friends. Notice that none of the MAGAts or psychos are on forced ignore. Just me and TOW AFAIK.
Notice, too, the special rule of threatening to ban me for finding a work around on forced ignore. There're no rules on ignore/forced ignore. Just an arbitrary threat to ban me for doing it. That's when I decided to put all the MAGAt scumbags on ignore. Up to 42 at last count.
Agreed on more pleasant. TBH, I was ticked off about the threats of banning for violating some rule Damo pulled out of his ass just for me, but the result was, indeed, pleasant. I can scroll through a thread, put likes on all the good members while getting the gist of the conversation (it's not like MAGA morons provide facts or anything I can't see on Fox News! LOL) and then move on.
I'd only planned to do this of a few months, but am waiting to see how it works out. So far, so good.

He used to be better. I think he's been under a lot of stress the past few months. Most people who go through a behavioral change over a few months it's usually due to job/financial but could be personal/family.
I don't have to know the exact cause to see how a person's behavior changes over a relatively short time span. My expertise is in identifying someone going through changes, not fixing, curing or treating them.
Despite his denials, his favoritism for MAGAts over non-MAGAts is easy to see. I don't know if that is a business decision or personal ideology, but the results are clear. There are no special rules for MAGAts, but so far, there have been a couple rules made for non-MAGATs. The non-written Ignore Rules is one, Rule 16 is another. The latter rule, "Dutch's Rule" rightfully belongs to Damo's old friend and gimp, Legion AKA Legina, since she's the one I learned it from. The fact I spiffed it up a bit and improved it doesn't change the fact Legion did it first, but I was blamed for it. Weird!

I don't care. And you know I would never give a single thought to any of your unqualified medical diagnoses. His mercurial spasms and inconsistent spats as he becomes more and more MAGAt are the reasons so many of us are talking about climbing out of his dumpster and spending our time in a different forum.

If you've ever been in a leadership or management position, you would know that one doesn't have to be a doctor to note behavioral issues in others. Parents do it all the time with their kids, managers with their employees.
You just did it yourself. There's normal American behavior, both male and female, as dictated by our culture, and then there's normal behavior of individuals. When a person's behavior changes, there's always a reason for it. The observer doesn't have to understand why the person changed, just that it did. If in a leadership/management position, then they should make a decision on what to do about it....if anything. In my business, it was to remove them from mission capable status if warranted.

Have you ever considered why people don't like you and don't take you seriously?
Have I ever been in a leadership or management position? What a stupid question. I've led and managed more people than you've ever known.
Don't talk to me about "normal American behavior". I have been to all 50 states. I have lived in 18 of them. I also spend about half of each year in Asia and Europe. You don't know half as much as you think you do. Your compulsive arrogance doesn't have any effect on me except to cause me to think less of you. You are an insecure bully who runs your mouth for some reason that you would try to diagnose. But I won't because I'm better than that.
He is very rude and crude. I ignored him because he would fill pages of crazy responses. He is not worth all the time he required.

Only about 30 years ago. After that, I learned that doing my job wasn't a popularity contest. It's good to be polite and civil, but not a "buddy" or, like MAGA morons and their Big Daddy, always pandering for being loved.
I see why you and Damo get along so well; you both have similar personalities.
Feel free to put me on ignore. Nice argumentum ad verecundiam. You and Terry have that in common too. What do you know about my 40+ year career and training? Or will you claim, like Trump, you could care less?

I took "Computer Programming and Analysis" in college because I liked and used computers a fair amount and I wanted to make good money. I should have paid more attention to -why- I liked computers so much- it was mainly so that I could talk to others. I was introduced to First class computer bulletin boards, which I believe were around before the internet, when I was around 17 or 18. That would have been around 1992 or 1993. I even had my own small first class bulletin board for a while but that never really worked out. My fondness for discussing controversial subjects online started then.
Anyway, after deciding computer programming wasn't for me and then deciding that computer networking also wasn't for me, I stopped going to college (I'd been there 3 years at this point) and decided to try to make my own online game. Didn't work out. A few years later, in 2003, I went to live with my father in Mexico for a few years and that's the first time I decided to give teaching English a go. At the time, being a native English speaker was enough to get a pass to do the job in at least the one school I started at, and after that, with my "have taught in an English teaching school" credential, I was able to land the job of English teacher at a Montessori school, which is quite an accomplishment in North America, but not so much in Mexico. The pay was terrible, but the job came with some great books on teaching English grammar and that's what basically started my English teaching career. Total it lasted around a year and then soon after I headed back to Canada in 2008. Didn't teach English or anything else until I decided to go and live in Mexico again near the end of 2021. Been teaching English for maybe 3 years now, exclusively online at this point.

I think we might agree that vagueness and ambiguity are pretty similar.
Well, I think you know at this point that I've consulted various sources that agree that dictionaries do, in fact, provide definitions for words, so I suspect we may need to simply agree to disagree on this one.

Insults are the surest way of silencing any productive discussion. If that's your aim, congratulations. If it's not, you might consider explaining why you don't find my sources to be trustable.
You keep citing [insult removed]He's one of the signatories of the "Settling the Virus Debate" 2 page statement, signed by researchers and doctors who no longer believe there is any solid evidence that biological viruses exist. I get into the details of this 2 page statement in the opening post of the following 2 threads-
For those who like debating in regular JPP forums:
For those who prefer the Above Plain Politics forum for controversial debates such as this one:
He also has a website and a substack that are primarily dedicated to providing evidence that there is no solid foundation that biological viruses exist. They are here:

Easy there Night. You might wish to recall that I said I wasn't sure whether I'd used the term. Thanks for reminding me that I have, inf act, used the term. What I think I meant was that I don't think I've ever labelled a -particular- study to be scientific, though I tend to think that any study I think is good follows scientific principles.

I will say that I'm not impressed with Wikipedia on some subjects, such as vaccines. That being said, I think that for subjects wherein a person knows little, it can generally be a good starting point- as Lefty points out, every Wikipedia article cites sources, which certainly isn't the case when it comes to many articles online, including from the mainstream media.

No, I'm just generally leary of accepting a personal definition of a term that's shown no evidence of being supported by a relatively well known dictionary or other well known reference, such as Wikipedia.

What about the CDC? The Mayo clinic? The National Library of Medicine?
BTW, the Wiki is a great starting point, but not he endpoint. The best way to use Wiki, IMO, is to look at the references. The stronger the references, the better the article.

Researchers and journals can claim that they are following the scientific method in their research. This doesn't mean that they actually are, ofcourse, but I think it's good that science and the scientific method is generally respected enough that whether research or journals are using the scientific method becomes important.

Those researchers and journals are peer-reviewed. If you're reading a blog by Joe Blow, then it's best to check their facts.
