By Matt Ridley, published 4/11/2011

David,

"That was better"

Not really, it's still mostly Greek to me.

one under god,

"cause my science words cant be folowed"

What science words? An awful lot of the contents of your posts aren't even words, let alone 'science words'.

"by fools ignorant of science terms/meanings"

Again, this is NOT the problem. My background is in chemistry; I am familiar with many scientific terms and their meanings. I don't have trouble following your posts because of the technical terms you employ; I have trouble following them because of your consistent refusal to observe simple conventions of the English language. That doesn't make you special or clever or a visionary, and it doesn't make us ignorant or foolish - all it does is make you functionally illiterate, which has the knock-on effect of making you look like a halfwit. I mean really, how difficult is it to construct a sentence? Primary school kids can manage it. Are you stupider than a fifth-grader?

The Acolyte Rizla,

It's endlessly fascinating how people get their jollies from deriding the prowess of others. After all, if OUG's style bugs you so much, the obvious solution is to ignore his posts.

OUG has been around forever posting in this style. Who cares if he chooses a particular freestyle poetic form to express himself....he demonstrates more creativity in one post than most of OLO's participants could muster in a year's posting.

It appears that you feel the need to preen your ego, brush its little tail, etc. by belittling OUG...big of you (not)

TAR .. it's admirable you had a go, good for you ..

Ever read "Feersum Endjinn"? Same thing, probably a good book, I lasted about 1.5 chapters and left it on a table in a cafe. (I love books and hated that one, I don't bother with libraries, because they want their books back)

My loss I guess, or is it?

Poirot,

"It's endlessly fascinating how people get their jollies from deriding the prowess of others."

Incorrect. I take absolutely no joy from pointing out one under god's illiteracy - it deeply saddens me to think that anybody in this country could have undergone at least 11 years of schooling and learnt so little.

"After all, if OUG's style bugs you so much, the obvious solution is to ignore his posts."

Of course it is. Responding to ignorance with further ignorance is what has made Western society so great. After all, who needs education when ignorance is just as valid as knowledge and illiteracy is just as valid as literacy?

Poirot, I hope to all the Gods I don't believe in that you are not employed anywhere within the field of education.

"Who cares if he chooses a particular freestyle poetic form to express himself"

ROFLMAO. I am on good terms with more than one freestyle poet - and they're all highly literate. One under god's posts are definitely NOT freestyle poetry - they are semi-literate rants at best.

"he demonstrates more creativity in one post than most of OLO's participants could muster in a year's posting."

Granted... but only if we take 'creativity' as a euphemism for 'insensibility'.

dont feed the troll
thats all that comes to mind

i should ask her to list the chemicals of life
but know it would only come from a link
via a quick google search

so its not worth bothering any reply
so set her to ignore

you could try naming them
they still wont make any 'life'

OUG "chemicals as you should know..don't evolve"

Strictly speaking, not true. Radioactive elements decay (evolve) into different elements.

DNA has also evolved over the millenia.
