Eddy

CdnFox, phuck-off.

"...There's a world of difference between posting meaningful stuff and what Eddy often posts..." Do any of you certifiable bamboola's ever so much as even take the effort to so much as even proof-read the verbal diarrhea that you repeatedly spew onto this web site...? No. I didn't think so, either.

"...Best to just have your say and ignore them..." You're right Aristides. Just treat them like you would a toilet bowl that's about overflowing full of the huge stinky s***-turds that they all are -- & flush 'em down into the s***-hole where they all crawled-up out of, but where they rightfully belong.

"...It needs a little warm and fuzzy help..." You mean like some of your hidden-away personal nether regions...? The ones that "...the sun don't never shine upon"...? Are you talking those "warm and fuzzies"...?

"...Very obviously a bot when you read their stuff but people will miss it in larger forums where you don't necessarily become as familiar with each poster as we do here..." CdnFox you very obviously have far too much time on your hands here for anyone's -- including your own -- good. Why don't you pick-up on my earlier recommendation re. the matter of sex & travel...? That just might (hopefully!) engage your diminutive, underdeveloped, & challenged attention span, if only for about 2 - 3 minutes' duration, max (in your specific case, anyway).

"...What are you wearing, right now...?" I know this much: you're wearing-out your welcome here PDQ. Why dontcha just join your other fellow-jerks in the circle...? I'm sure they could use an extra hand there. You can all discuss the first thing that might come up...

"...Guy's been here for a week and Blocked half the board for daring to say he might be a bot and still refuses to answer..." Hey there, CdnFox -- do you like sex, and travel, both...? Good. Why don't you indulge then, and simply f***-off. And while you're at it take a few of your compadres, who were lucky enough not to have been spontaneously-naturally aborted, with you. You're just jerks, anyway -- so you may as well all form a circle and "enjoy" the pleasures of your own company.

"...Reeks of sheer anti-Trudeau desperation.." So what's all this, then...? I'm somehow supposed to regret what is true...? I simply can't stand the man-child. PERIOD.

Hmmm...I do sense yet another belligerent bellicose "participant" here who's destined for entry into my very own personal "round file"... Adios Nefarious Banana...! Go do your foolish ranting solo-style, & on your own time.

"...Seriously, you've been here a few weeks and you suddenly have everything figured out?...?" Been here just over one week, & not "...a few weeks".

"...The question was asked of you . . . " Nefarious Banana you guys here are all too much into putting one another down for anyone's good, never-mind that of your own. CdnFox 1 Nefarious Banana you guys here are all too much into putting one another down for anyone's good, never-mind your own.

"...What is a 'bot' ? Are you one ...?" Nefarious Banana don't tell me that you're getting on that foolish "bot" thing too, are you...?!

I come back to the matter of A.I. because the absence of any comments to a previous posting of mine here indicates that precious few people actually know enough about it in order to submit any follow-up comments, or opinions on the matter... Did we not get regular hand-wringing public warnings about A.I. from "insiders" like Elon Musk and Bill Gates advising the planet to steer well-clear of it...? It was enough to make even me dread the reality of some consequent superior hardware-software Frankenstein nemesis to elevate itself to the fore & systematically commit genocide upon the entire human race, not at all unlike that roboticized-mechanized computer-driven "Nomad" satellite did in a late 1960's episode of the TV series "Star Trek". But suddenly & with absolutely no warning whatsoever in the past few months, the media is just replete with stories of A.I.'s open presence in our midst right now! In fact, its effects are threatening to compromise political discussion-policies, it os already influencing what our kids are learning in schools, it's affecting the advertising industry, it's having a twistong-turning effect upon the news in general, etc. etc. etc. How was it that I managed somehow to sleep through this revolutionary transformation...? What was the exact date on the calendar when we opened-up this A.I. Pandora's Box, anyway...? I don't recall any consequent hoopla & charisma erupting from A.I.'s release out of the genie's bottle -- do you...? Or was it all some sort of a nefariously devious plot executed by A.I. itself, to make it so...?! From what I've seen so far, Artificial Intelligence is lacking that one key element featured in its very name: "intelligence". It strikes me as being little more -- again -- than a computerized "cut & paste" exercise melded with PhotoShop, only much more refined & seamless. The prime force behind its vaunted & heralded capabilities still remains that very same proverbial "man behind the curtain" who is using A.I. as nothing more than a tool to advance his-her own personal agenda upon others, for reasons known only to him-her. A.I. is hardly any sort of a "self-starting" force to be reckoned with -- it has a master pulling levers & yanking cords in order to make it follow his directions. It's hardly the other way around as all of the warnings had professed. So what am I missing here, besides my participation in any "mass hysteria" that is...? Somebody -- a flesh & blood somebody -- has always lusted for power & dominion over others throughout humankind's history & evolution: I simply can't see persons of that inclination-disposition willingly surrender the possibilities of a superior position over others to a machine, be it "intelligent" or otherwise. I can however, appreciate how these very same persons would readily embrace that part of A.I. that might execute their handiwork far more swiftly & convincingly than they themselves might. In other words, to utilize the advantages of computer-generated A.I. as a tool to benefit them. And not the other way around.

Huh...? What's that all about, anyway...?

Moonlight I've never seen one quite as rampant & over-run with ne'er do well redneck trolls like this one. Never!

"...FYI it's ok to sneak peek the odd post from the ignored, if you are just filling time..." Thanks for the tip Michael, but I believe that I'll leave that effort at validating Einstein's definition of insanity to the likes of those who have deservedly earned their spot on my Ignored List... What would be seen by any peaks there anyway, except a repeat of those exact same blatherings & references that he sent in my direction in the first place -- only with new recipients...? I won't dignify him at all by doing that. 🐵

"...I put CdnLIAR on ignore (first time ever), and now I can read freely without being tempted to get into another of his juvenile spats..." Robosmith now, that's a coincidence -- I did the exact same thing here too, & tossed Legato into the very same septic holding tank along with him. They can now both compete with one another as to who might float the best in their well-deserved pool of flopsum.

"...Now...you have a decision to make. Do you face your opposition? Or run away back to some other site where the conservative point of view is...neutered...?" Nationalist I've decided to stick around here for awhile yet -- only without the unwanted distractions-incursions of both CdnFox & Legato, who seem to be cut of the very piece of cloth & who take great personal delight in swaggering about this site like they were but a pair of big fish in a small pond...or big barn cats laying claim to a small sand box. I placed both of them on my "Ignore List" where they've rightfully a place on. Maybe now the discussions raised herein will be worth reading & replying sensibly to.

Many thanks Groot -- I've done just exactly as you said on the first of what I'm sure will be several trolls that contribute nothing but needless distraction from genuine topic discussions here.

Bye-bye, CdnFox -- you've just earned a spot on my "Ignored List", so spare yourself the time & effort of attempting to lob your personal patented "fertilizer" in my direction, anymore.

Groot, there's another apt saying, too: "...Arguing with a troll is like arguing with a pig: everyone gets dirty -- but the pig loves it". You're correct, of course. But how do I put them on any personal "ignore list"...?

"...It's responses are interesting from a 'how far the tech has come' point of view..." And how very interesting how you've descended -- and are descending into -- complete irrelevance by your repeating that same old tired & shopworn reference that you most likely read in some "Bazooka Joe" bubble gum wrapper some time ago. What do you for an ecore, I wonder...? Do you even have one...? OMG, do you even know what an "encore" is...?!

Michael I don't have need of any of the personal name-calling & other such nonsense as seems to be the purview of a select number of regular "contributors" here. And the amount of otherwise "normal" people here can -- literally -- be counted on the fingers of just one hand... Frankly, I'm surprised that the moderator(s) overseeing this site might allow such a wide liberal latitude in the wording & verbal assaults of some the extremists. Not even so much as a verbal warning to the more prolific of them to "try & curb your enthusiasm"...? It's a pity -- but all just the embodiment of what's currently crippling American politics so, i.e. "My party, right or wrong!". We can be collectively thankful that such attitudes didn't prevail in the early 1940's U.S.A., when one party put their shoulder to the wheel pushing a much-needed war wagon against Axist fascism up the hill, with the other on the opposite side, pushing back. Everyone appreciated the true worth of cooperation & strength in numbers back then. If this current crop was up & about at that time, to-day we'd all probably have perfected the art of goose-stepping, celebrating the Beer Hall Putsch as an annual federal holiday, & eating bratwurst sausage for supper...

This entire site is fast becoming a disappointment to me. Instead of reasoned, well thought-out back & forth debate which I had initially expected, all I can see is relentless & senseless back-biting & an exchange of insults between those who might be still hopeful, & a cadre of belligerent trolls who think that continual reference to "bots" & highlighting typographical errors in one's posting elevates them to some exalted place of intellectual superiority. I hate to admit it, but some push-back on my part has been simply irresistible, as I foolishly allow myself on occasion to get sucked down into thes nonsense. And that's not a good thing. Maybe it'd be best if I simply were to leave this castle of cards here, & let CdnFox & all the rest of his "running dogs" alongside him have at it in this, their own little sandbox of a world...they all deserve nothing more than one another, after-all.
