Journal GameboyRMH's Journal: Dan Schectman and a true story of controversy in science 20
Take a look at this. This is what controversy in science really looks like. And what happened in the end? A cover-up? A genius dying in poverty? No, the guy who was right won a freaking Nobel prize and made his critics look like total morons. This is the reward that rightly awaits any scientist who can disprove the status quo. Later I will have to do a proper write-up and submit it to Slashdot, the AGW denialists must see this.

In Argentina, most of research is funded by the state, through the CONICET. They get a say, therefore, on whether your work is valuable or not, and whether your results justify further funding or should die in the shadows. They indirectly have a say on your PhD, even if you conduct research in a vacuum, So, they have a HUGE amount of power... and power corrupts. Those at the top either die or retire, no amount of sexual harassment will remove them from there (yes, I mean that). It's hard as hell to enter. I

When did I say you can never challenge the mainstream? This is a strawman denialists often put forward. My point is that you CAN challenge the mainstream, that the strawman is based on a premise that is demonstrably false.

you say it cant be challenged because the collective group think of scientists says counter arguments are demonstrably false.
You just can't stop spawning strawmen can you? Try wearing a diaphragm next time you fuck a scarecrow.

Haha, you know what's funny? Your own insane logic applies to you as well. Which makes you doubly insane (or just a huge hypocrite) for ignoring it. So many layers man, it's like Inception!
But maybe you have the a tertiary-level education on the subject (actually because you're a denialist that's unlikely, but hear me out), but why should I assume this is a possibility when you offered me no such courtesy - and I do have that education, BTW.

I doubt the veracity of his claims to an education, if only based on his glaring inability (or unwillingness) to properly use the language. The ad hominem attacks are further evidence of inferior intellect.
Ignore the troll; they are loud and annoying but--in the end--irrelevant.

Ah, the sad spectacle of those who cannot read and write--much less punctuate--trying in vain to scream and insult their way through what might otherwise be civil and intelligent discourse.
The inanity of your behavior leaves us wishing--too late it seems--for better parental skills or for, at the very least, better medication.
I hope you someday find the social, intellectual, and language skills that have, 'till now, so completely eluded you.

Please feel free, but do be careful--for your sake. You might take a moment to ask yourself why I would be so open with my identity. Unlike little trolls that revel in causing trouble, I sign my real name to my posts.
Say what you wish and people will do as they see fit. Please do not engage in illegal or tortuous behavior though; you may find the results of such action to be rather inconvenient, to say the least.
In other words, fly away, little moth, and try to annoy someone who hasn't wasted entirely too m
