    You are.

    the visible "speckles" that were produced in an existing aurora is not "producing an auroral display" as you claim.

    Note also how I linked to the source - you could try that some time too.
    It seems Oxy is more concerned with debate gamesmanship like laying quote traps. One of the things I like about this site is that most of the people don't do that. When it is done it's tiresome.

    What is tiresome to me is people, (or computers who want to repress free thought) who pop up and make personal attacks with absolutely no basis when clearly I sourced what I quoted a few posts ago but obviously you did not read it...

    You have the right to remain silent but is that really a good idea?

    There was no personal attack. I said the tactics you used were tiresome.

    Yet Oxymoron accused you of being "computers who want to repress free thought". Paranoid irrational speculation.

    And what is this if it is not a tiresome tactic, covering a personal attack?

    Landru apparently consciously chose his name for this forum and it seems very apt for the way he conducts himself on here IMO. But then I see owls etc...

    If he wants to name himself after a broken computer that wanted to repress free thought and then proceeds to act in character... I do not see a problem in commenting on it.

    Touche

    But what is free thought exactly, and how did he repress yours?
