You get the whole pack going at you, expecting more of you than they require of themselves in interpreting the forum guidelines.

Hardly.Very few of us here have the physics background to even begin to contribute intelligently, let alone provide analysis such as Eta has.I have virtually no background in physics, so I have pretty much no clue what's being discussed.Unlike many Creationists here, I don't generally open my yap unless I have a pretty good grasp of what I'm talking about.

I say, go at your opponent with all your mental might, but do so in a nicer and more congenial way so he will sense a welcome and so good posters like him will be more inclined to participate on our board.

​

The EvC forum name implies an invitation for guests and members of all ideologies. Therefore, may we all show hospitality, especially for quality new members, able to intelligently debate the issues we all want to discuss.

I've got to agree with Buzsaw here.Eta, I did think that you came out with your gun barrels blazing a bit.I've little problem with stronger approaches after it has been made clear that the gentle ones are not working, but I think it's important to try the gentle ones first.

I'm not astute enough to judge Asmore or his opponents as to the math, et al.

So, this means you have no idea if he is correct or not, right?

Nevertheless his paradox makes more logical sense to me than the counterparts and that's what I need to go with, given the knowledge I have about it until something more sensible comes up.

In other words, you prefer to believe him, someone without a physics degree and clearly having trouble following Eta's arguments and maths, for the sole reason that you like his views better, even though you don't understand the math enough to tell if he's right or not.Just so you know, buzsaw, this is a prime example of something Percy and others have noticed that you tend to do.You are extremely biased towards accepting things you agree with even when you don't understand them enough to be able to judge if they are correct or not.If you really were to be unbiased, or even just biased towards the evidence, you would simply say "I don't understand any of this physics or math to the degree needed to make a determination of who is right here.Instead, you believe what you like in the absence of evidence or understanding.This is a good way to become very wrong on very many things.

I stand corrected about his degree in physics.

My best pair of shoes I ripped open about 2 hours ago and they cost me a $400. I have to special order my shoes because I have huge feet and it just pissed me off.

Why don't you take them to a shoe repair place and see if they can be fixed? You might be surprised.
