"Judge not lest ye be judged"

I don't mind being judged, Ed, as long as you don't mind being judged. :-)

I come here to learn and converse with others of similar
interests.

Many of us come for the same reason. A number actually are quite
expert. Those are the fellows from whom I learn.

Unfortunately, the atmosphere here is very
hostile and uninviting. Who the hell wants to argue all of
the time? Not me.

You're right, Ed. A number of those who are hostile are experts. Most
are not.

Many of you are far more educated than I, but many of you
demonstrate precisely why I chose not to be brainwashed with
a formal education.

If that's your view, I think I can see why you might have had difficulties.

Many cannot see past the end of their
noses, yet they insist upon laying down the law regarding
what is acceptable science and what is not. As though anyone
actually knows anything at all.

Is it your opinion that no one here knows anything at all?

Each and every day there are new announcements that reshape
our scientific paradigm. Who can keep up?


There's always someone who can keep up, Ed. You'll find a number of
them here.

It was while I was
trying to keep up that I finally realized that the more we
learn, the more we should realize that nothing is certain.

I might have to take issue with that. I can think of a number of
certainties. You don't believe there are any?

Yet the same young/old coots are in here argueing day after
day that what they learned in the 1940's and 50's, 60's,
70's, 80's, 90's and now the 20's, is the Gospel Truth.

What's your position, Ed? If nothing regarding antennas is true, we're
all wasting our time here.

I
wish you could see just how silly you appear to others. I'm
not pointing the finger at anyone in particular.

Though you responded to my comments regarding one who never provides any
details of his peculiar theories.

Let's not forget that one's educational level has nothing to
do with native IQ.

....but a crackpot is generally a crackpot, whatever his IQ or
educational level. A great deal of useful information may be found
here. It is accompanied by a great deal of misinformation. Do you know
how to separate the wheat from the chaff?
