I've been reading your threads for a week now, and I can't find anyone with anything intelligent to say. I've never seen a bigger bunch of losers in my life, so now I'm wondering who YOU people think is smart. Do you have anyone here with an IQ above 80?

You must have missed all of the posts from Andy Ray. He is the smartest guy in the world.

ROTFLMAO!

You just proved my point.

Now we do, thanks to your generosity.

Don't you belong over at Sleazyboard? Troll Alert!!!

Welcome SpaceCase. I for one am looking forward to jousting with a Mensa such as yourself. Dont be fraid, just jump in when the train slows down and share your advanced intelligence with us. Oh, and check your local yellow pages for the burn center nearest you.

-- Ra (tion@l.1), May 14, 2000.

My IQ is 175 (sorry FS, I had to pick a higher number than you) and climbing. It has been proven that reading this board stimulates neural growth. There are many brilliant people here. Too bad you're not one of them, Spacey.

-- (nemesis@awol.com), May 14, 2000.

Space,

Ignore the Troll stuff. Nothing wrong with Trolls on this board. It's a term that was used on the old board by doomsters. Anyone they didn't agree with was a Troll.

BTW my IQ has been measured at 89.

Who do I think is smart? John Stuart Mill, for one. Emily Dickinson. George Washington Carver. And Isaac Newton. And Gottfried Leibniz. My mom and dad were smart. The whole Curie family. Everyone who is smarter than me.

SpaceCases,

Why don't you go swim in a puddle of mud with a bunch of turtles.

And don't even try to say anything about my IQ or I will flame you away until my little heart is content. Out damn spot, out I say!

It's *our* forum buster, so hit the road. If you don't like, make your own forum.

Geez, I feel better now. (whew!)

-- Maya (Maya@eck.ist), May 14, 2000.

WAIT, wait for me, I thought I was the ONLY intelligent life form here. I think I have an IQ over 80, what is an IQ? LOL.

I am not a loser, i am not a loser, i am not a loser...

Now I too feel better, Maya, wanna mudwrestle.? ROFL....

-- consumer (shh@aol.com), May 14, 2000.

Once upon a time there were the querulous who moaned about the intelligentsia visiting this forum.

After the rollover the intelligence quotient shifted with the drama, but absence maketh the heart grow fonder, thus a trickling of returnees stimulates the intelligence, like the secret service or sundry sputnic for example.

Intelligibility helps of course. A passing grip on Zwahili is of benefit too. So is a dossier at MI5.

Thankz for joining. It's noted and filed. You may now gather dust, comforted by the thought that you are not alone. This forum might be a botch job, but it's far from a batch job.

Anyway, since when must a forum of wits be measured by your IQ guage?

I must be getting mellow in my old age. Normally, I would jump all over this clown.

Why don't you call your mom, SpaceCases, and thank her for having such a genius of an offspring.

Is there ANY intelligent life in this forum?

Technically no. This forum has a virtual existance on a server in Cambridge. Maybe a few flies and roaches in there, but not much else. Next Question.

-- richard (richard.dale@onion.com), May 15, 2000.

Heh, exactly as I thought. Out of 18 responses only 5 showed a modicum of intelligence.

Your ranking of intelligence are as follows:

1) Retired and Happy.

2) Rational 1.

3) Z1X4Y7.

4 & 5 tied) Luna C and David L. Bumpkin.

The rest of you don't warrant a mention.

Z, to answer your question: next question. Do you believe the Doppler Effect has any relationship to a Supreme Power? (Please, those of you who are not listed in the top five; don't attempt to answer this. I don't want to be responsible for caving in your skulls.)

-- (SpaceCases @re .here), May 15, 2000.

Ah, could you help us out here Spacey and give us YOUR definition of supreme power. Wait, let me guess

#5- Your ex-Mother-in-law.

#4- The strange crystal in your Radio Shack kit.

#3- Your favorite at the 900 service.

#2- The dealer where you work part time.

And your #1 choice for the Supreme Power.The neighbors dog that has been giving you all of those great stock tips. Too bad youre broke. BTW, does this mean Ill be dropped from your top 5?

-- Ra (tion@l.1), May 15, 2000.

You seem to be mistaken.

The real ranking:

1) Retired and Happy.

2) Rational 1.

3) Z1X4Y7.

4 & 5 tied) Luna C and David L. Bumpkin.

6) The rest of the forum participants

7) The rest of the world

8) Dolphins and other mammals

9) Roaches

10) The anonymous poster "SpaceCases @re.here"

-- Buddy (buddydc@go.com), May 15, 2000.

lol!!

Rational 1 and Buddy ARE showing some intelligence! (I'm surprised, Buddy. Usually you spend your time complaining. Opps! I guess this post DOES rank you with the rest of the crowd!)

-- (SpaceCases @re .here), May 15, 2000.

"Opps!"

Yeah, you're really intelligent. By the way, I know plenty of stupid people with high IQs.

-- Buddy (buddydc@go.com), May 15, 2000.

I'll bet you're one of them.

-- (SpaceCases @re .here), May 15, 2000.

Rational 1, you have bent over for every Y2K moderator on the internet. You are a relatively intelligent man, but obviously your life is so pathetic you can't possibly have much intelligence. Why do you feel this overpowering need to keep Y2K internet chat rooms going?

Chuck, youre reasoning nature will be sorely missed on this forum. Good luck in separating yourself from the chores of sysop. Im reminded of the lowly compensated border guards that line-up for the chance to have some power in their lives. You and your fellow moderators have managed to keep a lid on this teapotthanks for your time. I suspect that most of us that were caught up in the Y2K frenzy will slowly move on and this forum will dry up or morph into something altogether different. As you well know, few have really left for good.

-- Ra (tion@l.1), February 22, 2000.

-- (SpaceCases @re .here), May 15, 2000.

SpaceCases,

YOU are a button pusher. Hope you are having fun with your evaluations. So, why don't you go stick a dirty diaper on your head and then take opera singing lessons.

Lots of people here are smarter than you are, and it shows--unless of course you would like to enlighten us with your superior wisdom and then we can evaluate you. So there! Share you wisdom oh high and mighty font manipulator. You have said nothing of any substance so far. Go for it!!!!!

-- Maya (Maya@eck.ist), May 15, 2000.

SpaceCases@re.here, so far you haven't showed me anything that a reasonably precocious 11 year old couldn't muster. Your weapon of choice is the easily discovered and easily mastered look-down-your-nose gambit. It consists of pretending that you needn't exhibit any evidence of your superiority because we are not worthy of the effort. I knew that one when I was your age. By the time I was 15, so did everyone else at my school. It hardly fooled anyone by then.

If you think that you are doing a good job of concealing your tender age or that you are pulling the wool over anyone's eyes, I am sorry to inform you that your extreme youth is obvious. It sings out, "I am an adolescent trying to bolster my confidence by acting better than everyone else." Why not just prance around naked? It would be less embarassing.

However, the fact that you are young is really no problem with me, if you drop this supercilious act and just try to add something to the forum. All you have to do is your best. Everyone has a best they can do.

Let me suggest that you adopt a standard handle so we can learn to recognize you. (Only losers change their handle every time they post.)

Now, don't be so timid. Stop playing it so safe and risk a little by being yourself in front of us. The worst that can happen to you is getting a bit of cyber-egg on your face. That's nothing, really. So, try your hand at scrimmaging with the adults like an adult. It'll develop your brain muscle.

-- Brian McLaughlin (brianm@ims.com), May 15, 2000.

lol!

Brian, YOU least of all can engage in a battle of wits with me!

I would wager a guess that NONE of you have answered my earlier question because you don't even know what Doppler Radar is.

(Why am I not surprised?)

-- (SpaceCases @re .here), May 15, 2000.

You kiddies are boring me. I'm going to go hang around the ZDNet chatroom for awhile. I'll be checking in every once in awhile to make fun of you though. Maybe I'll even bring some of my buddies with me to give them a good laugh.

-- (SpaceCases @re .here), May 15, 2000.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

-- Maya (Maya@eck.ist), May 15, 2000.

Typical anti-intellectual response. I wondered how long it would take for one of you mental giants to come up with that.

-- (SpaceCases @re .here), May 15, 2000.

About as long as it took you to come up with your pointless post.

-- Maya (Maya@eck.ist), May 15, 2000.

BTW,"Maya", I'm so smart I know you are that idiot Consumer. Although Brian is not in my league, you are not even in the same ballpark. You have already destroyed too many of your brain cells with alcohol, and I won't waste any more of my time on you.

-- (SpaceCases @re .here), May 15, 2000.

Takes one to know one.

-- Maya (Maya@eck.ist), May 15, 2000.

Hmmm lez see maya = consumer......LOL....

Good one space, but then again you did 'want' my attention didnt you?

Now tell me why, is it cuz you like me so well? *wink, Kiss*

Who luvs ya baby?

-- consumer (shh@aol.com), May 15, 2000.

Hey consumer,

We are ahead by 2 points right now. Ha ha ha ha

Old space cadet can't hang with us. Geeshh, sounds like spacey is suffering from delusions now. Everybody is somebody else. lol

Okay space case, I thought you said you were leaving? Poof be gone now. Get the picture partner . . . stick and stones can break my bones but font will never hurt me. So kiss my pretty white powdered armpit.

-- Maya (Maya@eck.ist), May 15, 2000.

I figured out the Doppler effect before I could read or write: we lived by a mainline railroad track (wrong side).

Space, what's the connection between the Doppler effect and the "Supreme being?" I don't get it.

The Doppler effect doesn't "work" with light. It is not additive or subtractive. Light from a flashlight mounted on a moving train doesn't go faster than light from a flashlight mounted on a fence post.

Einstein said (more or less) "Accept it as fact."

...plenty enough to make my point for me. Several times over. The jury comes back with a verdict in record time.

He's a one-trick pony. Judging from his responses on this thread, he'll ride that pony until it drops dead from exhaustion. It's staggering already. He knows it. That's why he's conveniently heading for the door while the pony still has any legs left under it.

-- Brian McLaughlin (brianm@ims.com), May 15, 2000.

PS - Game over.

I'm tired of this now, heck with all my brain cells gone and an IQ of only 80 spacey, I thought I did a pretty good job of holding my own. But you are master of your own thread, and I am moving on to bigger and better posts.

-- Maya (Maya@eck.ist), May 15, 2000.

Retired and Happy, at least you are on the right "track" lol! I will probably be back Wednesday to discuss what I believe is the relationship between the two with you. You did, after all, take first place in the intelligence rating. Now please don't burst my bubble by telling me you believe that the markets are going to crash, there is going to be a New World Order, the alignment of the stars have an effect on our future, or that sunspots are going to kill us!

Maya and consumer,

Excuse me for confusing you two--you look so much alike in black and white. Maya is eve and Missy, and consumer is just a drunk.

-- (SpaceCases @re .here), May 15, 2000.

Brian, obviously you don't know what the Doppler Effect is or you would have commented.

I rest my case.

You aren't worth discussing anything with because all you can do is rant. Don't bother adressing me because I am going to ignore you in the future.

-- (SpaceCases @re .here), May 15, 2000.

Z, to answer your question: next question. Do you believe the Doppler Effect has any relationship to a Supreme Power? (Please, those of you who are not listed in the top five; don't attempt to answer this. I don't want to be responsible for caving in your skulls.)

-- (SpaceCases @re .here), May 15, 2000.

The doppler "effect" is that of pulses of energy at certain rates being sent off and returned to be analyzed. It is used in radar, especially for altitude, so that a regular altimiter which is tied to barametric pressure gives you the altitude abouve sea leval, you do not run into a mountain when the actual altitude of the ground is higher than at sea leval, like in mountain ranges. But that is an example of it's use, not the answer to your question. Ultrasound uses the same effect, although the energy it's uses are different, as is sonar. So the pulsing of energy and return of that energy to be analyzed for whatever reason is the "effect". Therefor not all energy that is sent out in pulses is doppler, such as our heartbeat, which does not return the pulse to be used in analyses.

I do not see how the doppler "effect" has anything to do with a suprime power. The the rate and or density of the return of pulses of energy has a multitude of uses. Radar guns for traffic...lots of things. It's actually a great concept with lots of yet to be discovered uses.

-- Cherri (sams@brigadoon.com), May 15, 2000.

It's actually a great concept with lots of yet to be discovered uses.

Cherri, you certainly aren't a genius because you can't spell, (Don't give us that crap about being dyslexic. I know quite a few dyslexics who take the time to learn to spell, and then take the time to spell correctly) but, at least you are smart enough to consider there might be other ways to consider this phenomena.

-- (SpaceCases @re .here), May 15, 2000.

>> Brian, obviously you don't know what the Doppler Effect is or you would have commented. <<

Are you always prey to such faulty logic? You can pipe the tune but why should I dance to it?

The Doppler Effect is taught in basic high school physics courses. You are the one claiming that it has anything to do with a Supreme Being. So far, that's all it is, a claim. And a poorly presented dare. My guess is that it represents some idea you stole from a sci-fi novel.

So, if you are so smart, what's the Rule of Seven and what does it have to do with Information Theory? What's the Defenestration of Prague? Does ontogeny recapitulate phylogeny? Does the caesura come before or after a spondee? In what way does a platypus capture its food? And if you know the answer to any one of these questions, does that make you any happier?

-- Brian McLaughlin (brianm@ims.com), May 15, 2000.

Space,

You said: "Is there ANY intelligent life in this forum?"

I say: "If there is, would YOU be able to recognize it?"

-- Flash (flash@flash.hq), May 15, 2000.

Isn't it interesting when we just get rid of one troll, another seems to emerge?

Space Case, I'll bet you're a smelly, unwashed, pimply-faced nerd. We already know that you are a conceited wise-ass.

Why don't you just stay over on ZDNet where they might appreciate you?

Far better than you here are ignoring your pathetic trolling.

-- One Who Knows (no@more.trolls), May 15, 2000.

Well, I was finished until I read what you said to Cherri!!!!!!! That was hitting below the belt ding dong. Now I am really wound up.

So, why don't you go to Disneyland and get a 'scratch and sniff' tattoo of Goofy stuck right in the middle of your butt.

And FTR, nobody is me except *me* you weasel brain. Stop picking on the people in this forum or I will keep insulting you.

You should say you are sorry, because I don't think you mean it--you are just looking for a reaction. Stop the insanity!!!!!!!

-- Maya (Maya@eck.ist), May 15, 2000.

Why spank you....and I didnt think you cared.?

I would post a lil rose for you but hey, you are the one good for those, eh? poof begone, jealousy gets you no-where, hey isnt your 'friend' calling?

Ahem. Now let me see how this works. You call our intelligence into question, insult us, taunt us, ask questions to which you don't want answers, act childish and belligerant, bait us. And if we make the slightest attempt to converse with you we are idiots.

Well, I suppose it might be true that trying to hold a conversation with you is a sign of deficient judgement. But, what does it say about you?

-- Brian McLaughlin (brianm@ims.com), May 15, 2000.

I'm not going to quibble with Spaced-out's outstanding qualities, affirmed by non other than himself; neither do I wish to challenge his Richter scale of IQ delusions - no, I just wish to vote this thread as the most daft and mediocre, the most bland venality.

Thank you America for sharing an unstoppable rise of globalisation that now includes the drear and daft. That's technology for you, I suppose - it even brings equality to those who only recently arrived from the turpitude where IQ is a measure of self.

Now what does that say about Space Cadet's level of, um, "intelligence"?

-- Patricia (PatriciaS@lasvegas.com), May 15, 2000.

Space, personally my paper I.Q. gage would be -10. What this -10 I.Q. brings is a knowledge to fix my auto (most times, without paying a Dealer 500.00+), the knowledge to fix my mower (oh I forget, you must have a lawn service), I know how to bake good tasting wholesome bread from scratch. But mostly this I.Q. of -10 has gifted me with the search of being kind to another human. What a trade-off! I will take a -10 and kindness, anyday!
