Misop,

You claim: " .... I only comment on fields that I am knowledgeable in .... "

But you comment on quite a few fields which you are obviously not familiar with. I'm certainly not saying that you shouldn't - we all do that. But perhaps you should focus on critical environmental sociology theory, if that's what you have any familiarity at all :)

Still, it's very brave of you to continually venture into fields in which you are not at all familiar - a veritable Leichhardt or Scott of the keyboard :)

Joe.

FOULmouth,

You're wrong again.

Sociologists study everything that people have anything to do with. That's what I like about sociology because I get to be knowledgeable on lots of things.

I know that as a pseudo-intellectual you find that hard to understand. But that's just the way it is old timer.

By the way, have you seen Phil around. I'm still holding my breath waiting for him to tell us what planes he flew and which aircraft carrier he served on. I CAN'T HOLD ON MUCH LONGER PHIL !

Mr O,

No offence but -

Your claim to only comment on fields that you are
knowledgeable about is not quite true.

Your behaviour on this forum does not support
that statement. All you seem to do is talk about
your qualifications and belittle those of others.
You also try to provoke people and attempt to divert
discussions. That is unfortunately -
the behaviour of a troll.

You do not provide many constructive comments and
behaving like a troll you are replaceable.

On the other hand
you could surprise us and try to contribute something of
substance for a change instead of treating this place as
a showcase for your "qualifications".

You may actually learn something - by contributing
something of substance. It will be an education for you
as - other posters always know something
you don't.

Keep an open mind and remember that commenting is a
privilege not a right. You have to earn it.
Respect that is.

Foxy,

Fair enough.

I'll have to not talk on fields I have no knowledge of.

I definitely don't want to look like a pseudo-intellectual so can you let me know what they are so that I don't do it?

Misop,

Where would any of us start ?

You and Trumpf have something in common": you both think that whatever little you know of a subject, say, viruses, brain surgery, re-organising a state's train schedules, black holes, that's all there is to know.

I had a friend like that, he worked and saved, worked and saved; took out a mortgage on one beach-side flat, then another, then on a house - then (I think) put the lot up against a loan to invest in a dodgy building company. This was just before the GFC. So of course, he lost the lot, has retired and now lives in a shack on a remote country block. What he thought he knew, he also thought that was all you needed. I don't think he's learnt a bloody thing since.

Sometimes it pays to stand back, learn, reflect, learn some more. But I don't suppose this will make a scrap of difference.

Joe

FOULmouth,

I've got a better idea.

I stop explaining things and just point out where you and your fellow pseudo-intellectuals are wrong.

Now, where's Phil?
