That you 'predicted' is an admission that
your intent was Malicious.

Do you 'think' that I was 'oblivious' to
that?

You rely on internet searches, ripping-off
the work done by others, and posing as if
it's your own.

I do this be-cause it's the only path
that's been 'open' to me.

I've been at it for 15+ 'years'.

The capacity of doing it this way
is orders of magnitude less than
a couple of weeks' in-person
communication would be.

No, that's not why I "get angry".

I'm not actually "angry" with you.

I'm just doing what's necessary to
expose the actuality of what you've
been doing.

And I stand on what I've posted.

My discussions always contain enough
information to allow anyone who wants
to, and who can, translate the stuff I
discuss into the Maths of their Choice.

Where there are particular needs, I
write little QBASIC[tm] programs
to get folks past the 'Difficulties'.

I am a Theoretician, not a Research
Assistant. I do stuff that hadn't been
done before.

Your 'efforts' have been consistently-
Cheap, Neil, and my reaction to Cheap-
'efforts' is consistently-the-same - when
they are directed against the work I've
done, I expose them for what they are.

Anyone can see that for themselves by
just Googling my former posts, isn't it
so?

It was your Choice to come into b.n
with your "predictions", and Malicious-
intent.

Good grief, Neil. I doubt that there's
anyone on the face of the planet who
has as much Experience as I do in
Recognizing, and Exposing Cheap-
'efforts'.

The heart of what I Study is 'blind'-
automation.

Your Cheap-'efforts' are 'just' more
'blind'-automation.

You gave-yourself-away early-on.

Do you want me to go back and
Demonstrate that it's so?

[If you look, you'll see that I marked
it, in real-'time', early-on.]

Here, you're just piling-up more Cheap-
'effort' - standard, 'canned', say-nothing
personal 'attack'.

What can I say?

Such bounces-right-off be-cause
to do what Needed to be done, I had
to get-beyond this sort of B. S - decades
ago.

If you consider it a waste of your
'time', then what does that say about
your "prediction".

It says that you Like to waste your
'time' :-]

You "predicted" that you'd waste
your 'time'.

Do you 'think' all of that hasn't been
obvious to me during the course of our
interaction?

You intersperse "gee whizzes", and
feigned 'compliments', and 'think' that
one cannot see-right-through such?

It's =EASY=.

Just "range-widely" and one sees Truth,
despite =any= amount of 'feigning'.

If that were the case, that'd be a Waste.

But it's not the case.

You came with your Cheap-'efforts' at
'prediction', wanting to do a self-fulfilling
thing that's Hurtful to the Work I've done
on behalf of folks who Suffer.

Big-Mistake.

Huge.

I'm not "insulting" you.

I'm just shutting-down your Cheap-
'efforts'.

Batting-them-down.

If you check sufficiently, you'll find
that this is what I =always= do when
I'm confronted with Malicious-intent.

It was your Choice to proceed as you
did..

You Declared your Malicious-intent.

Now you're whining about the fact
that you were 'caught with your pants
down'?

Hell, if you 'drop-trou' in-public, what
do you expect?

Especially when you "predict" the results
of your hangin'-your-butt-in-the-wind?

I always meet Malicious-intent head-on.

There's Worth in doing so, because folks
who read, Learn both how to Recognize
Malicious-intent, and how to deal with it.

Would I rather have not had to deal with
your Deliberately-Malicious-intent?

Yeah.

If you check, you'll see that I Tried,
early-on, to Gracefully redirect your
'purpose'.

But you Chose to continue, so I had to
Expose what you were doing.

> That is something that I
> believe you and I are both beyond (or at least I hope we are).

Check it out, and you'll see for yourself
that I've been beyond it all along.

I'm through sharing information with
you.

You've Chosen to lose what you could've
Learned.

You =FEIGNED= 'politeness', and
you iced it by being a "greasy smack",
with your =FEIGNED= 'compliments'.

"'being critical about data '" is a standard
form of B. S. - especially when =all= of
the data is already in the Literature - and
I'm not talking about "esoterics" - the data
to which I refer [the data pertaining to what
we've discussed - the transition from
instability to stability] is all undergraduate
Biology.

I only showed what hadn't been seen in-it.

Yet, here you are, in bionet.neuroscience
whining about the fact that you don't already
know it - wanting my to teach you?

Obviously, you stood-in-it before
you ever came to b.n [this 'time'
around].

People are Dying and, otherwise,
Suffering, on massive scales because
NDT's stuff has not yet been communicated
sufficiently, and, here you've been, working
to 'verify' your B. S. 'predictions.

Take your Malicious-intent with-you
when you 'go away'.
