At the same time you can see my publications and current work. Just for the hell of it son! Can I ask for a list of your previous publications ? Maybe at least a list of journal titles ? It would be cool to read something you wrote about marine biology for a change... And it looks I will never see anything like this written by you here... So maybe you can list sci journal titles and volume numbers I can find your articles in the library ? |

Apparently the focus of your attacks are agains me as a person, not against my findings. That is easily understood since I made a head-on attack to the establishment and to stupid conventionalities... I can understand that... You know this is BS. I asked you about your findings and you did not say anything. Then you behave like an asshole and you are very surprised people focus on you not on the findings you do not make public... Nevertheless, I am putting my invention on the line and already invited my worst attacker to see my tank in person. Yes, I live close to Wayne and after the design is stable, he and anyone else is welcome to see with your own eyes that the darn thing works! If your offer is real, you will post at least a list of your papers here for everybody to see how smart you are and how much your words are worth! Somehow I doubt this list will show up here... I do not know why ;-) |

First of all, I am sorry but, how did I insult your intelligence?
All I've gotten in this group is insult after insult just because I dare to break from the main stream. Talking about trolls, yeah right!

For instance, I am a Mechanical Engineer. So for you to continually come here and insult our intelligence is getting old. Your friends say you'll **** off the "establishment". I think you're doing a fine job at ****ing everyone off. Instead of participating and sharing experiences you are dictating and putting people down. I'd say drop the attitude and participate and people might end up liking you. You certainly have something to offer this group, just don't have to be so condescending. I work with a few higher level engineers that could be management but they never will because they have ZERO people skills. Be a politician, be polite and people will be more accepting.

It includes no expensive illumination, no hardcore pumping system only a powerhead, no skimmer and no more than 2 water changes a year.

This is what I'm talking about. I can see making friends is tough for you.
So think about what I said. You can think somebody lacks intel, but you don't need to say it. You never insulted me, but people are spending more time arguing with you than using this group for what it's for. Helping and sharing experiences. Like I said you have posted some interesting comments, work on your approach. I will, as most people, appreciate good feedback and ideas. Maybe News Groups aren't for you. Perhaps you should be writing articles for http://www.advancedaquarist.com/ or some other online magazine. Be nice, not all of us get to live on a tropical island. Some of us live in bum-**** North East freezing cold places. later "J R-S" wrote in message ... First of all, I am sorry but, how did I insult your intelligence?

"J R-S" wrote on Sun, 19 Mar 2006:
All I've gotten in this group is insult after insult just because I dare to break from the main stream. You're confused about the reason. People here actually like "breaking from the mainstream". For example, it was interesting when Ron Shimek (and others) started suggesting the benefits of keeping a Deep Sand Bed in a reef aquarium. That's a relatively new suggestion in the hobby. Ron provided lots of data, analysis, suggestions, keep tons of successful tanks himself, wrote (and published) scientific articles in marine biology journals, etc. All good stuff. No negative reaction from "the establishment". On the other hand, you've received "insult after insult" because you're an asshole, not because you "dare" to break from the mainstream. Lots of people have explained to you why, starting from the insulting tone of your own messages, to your arguments from authority ("I'm a marine biologist"), to your premature claims of success ("this is a better idea ... or will be in a few months when everything settles down"), to your claims of secret knowledge that somehow we're all too silly to adopt, yet you won't actually reveal even the slightest detail. This is why you're being insulted. Because you're an idiot. However, plenty of nice, intelligent people have suggested new methodologies for reef aquariums, and been welcomed with open arms. The difference in your case is ... you. -- Don __________________________________________________ _____________________________ Don Geddis http://reef.geddis.org/ We like to praise birds for flying. But how much of it is actually flying, and how much of it is just sort of coasting from the previous flap? -- Deep Thoughts, by Jack Handey |

Well, I do have to yield on you, thought me a good lesson.
It was just that I only encountered criticism in this group and I only wanted to share, it came to a point that I will share nothing. I am sorry, I will stick around and you are right, people are just spending more time argueing with me than enjoying the benefits of this forum... jrs "TheRock" wrote in message news:4ofTf.333$Qm2.268@trndny03...
