Neutrino speed thread moderation

[Char. Limit]

I could pick any of many posts to berate, but I choose this one.

Well they don't have to read them do they, they can simply ignore the posts that are objectionable to there inherent sensibilities.

This has already been rebutted above, so I won't bother.

Does it not occur to the moderators that in pampering to the will of these critics that if these results pan out you might well have thrown out the baby out with the bathwater.

Was that supposed to be a question? Whatever. First, the mentors here are not "pandering" to the will of the critics. They did exactly what they said they did: cleaned up the thread and removed repetition and obvious crackpottery. It's really quite nice of them, and totally ungrateful of you to respond in this fashion.

Second, if these results "pan out", THEN we'd discuss them as mainstream science. Not before. You see, Physics Forums is not a place to discuss your brand new theory, but to discuss existing mainstream science.

I find it incredulouse that a topic of great interest has been mauled in such a destructive manner to appeal to a narrow minded minority.

You mean that (gasp) Physics Forums is obeying forum regulations against speculation!? Why I never! You... didn't read the rules when you signed up, did you?

And as for "narrow-minded minority", you really have no proof that your faction is in the majority. To me, you look like an extreme minority.

If only from an historical viepoint irrespective of the eventual results.

I don't even know what this means.

... By the way, you have the word "spacemite" in your signature. Did you mean "spacetime"? If not, what does "spacemite" refer to?

EDIT: And who's Miss Pelling?

TT, you know I do almost everything for you, but this is asking for too much, and as you may have noticed; some users have reacted on this.

This information is *CLASSIFIED*.

Oh jeez. Don't get him started...

One of the damn best quotes I've ever read on this forum!

Suite yourself, though I don't understand your answer.

I ain't ungratefull,just concerned, the road to hell is sometimes paved with good intentions.

If that were the case the thread should not have got past the mods in the first place,you can't have it both ways.

I imagine the majority of decent people are against cencorship.Or is this over speculative to you and deserves to be deleted.

I don't even know what this means.

Well you might have to trawl through the removed posts at a later date if they are still available to find out.

There's a post on the infamous *spacemite*.

I hate to seem overly lame (OK, we've probably passed that), but now I'm really intrigued. What the heck are you people talking about?

Someone originally made the typo:

"Lorentz transformations come from considering that spacemite has a flat lorentzian metric"

and this triggered lots of joking about spacemites, leading to DevilsAvocado famous post you can see by following the link on #18 of this thread (and paging down a bit; while it lasts).

It also infected other threads for a while, e.g.

Please note, I did NOT have a relation with that woman, Miss Pelling, and I did NOT start this!

Uh huh, SURE, we believe that.

Love your new avatar, BTW.

 

[AlephZero]

Is there any connection between the "spacemite" and the "incredulouse" in #36 ?

 

[Evo]

But in all fairness that member's spelling is absolutely atrocious.

Ah! I see that!

 

[ThomasT]

Ok, it's all clear to me now. It's been sort of a rough day. Give my regards to Ms. Pelling.

 

[jtbell]

And who's Miss Pelling?

Tori's spinster aunt.

 

[Buckleymanor]

The Fantastic Spacemite and Incredulouse to the rescue!
Wait...

Oh Dave you are cute, mite and louse to the rescue.Unfortunately some of us find find spelling difficult and don't find it funny.

Especialy when it is used to divert or retract from the message.
I don't and won't use spellcheck I need to try to learn, from my point of view your humour is funny but a bit nerdish.

Most people here do not use a spell checker for normal posts. Sorry you took the comment about spelling so hard.

Also, did you mean "detract"?

He obviously meant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_retract

I don't normally but when you receive 2 points for an infraction for pointing out that you can't spell can't comprehend and probably ugly you tend to take it harder than usual.
Oh. and if it ain't clear it was me pointing at me.

The mentor didn't immediately realize you were the intended subject since you posted it as a response to a quote, but reversed the infraction.

I mean it as independent humour without any intent to offend. Msispelling happnes. The tie-in with spacemite was too cute to pass up.

Perhaps the wound is a bit fresh.

 

[phinds]

... Msispelling happnes ...

Yes, and they are almost always due to a slip of the figner

 

[Char. Limit]

I've got a friend who spells finger as fingure. It annoys me to know end, especially since I can't figure out WHY he would spell it that way.
