Sunday Smackdown Two - More Loren Coleman

It is really a shame that Mr Coleman has decided to name his dead horse, and keep this going. Apparently he has misread yet again, my statements below, and even mislabelled the title of the entry as Smackdown Sunday all of which, in my eyes, speaks volumes of his reading and comprehensive skills.

As much as I feel that I am now defending myself (which is odd,) at least I know (as do the readers here) that no one really needed defending... not myself, not Mr. Noory, and certainly not Mr. Coleman... but for some odd reason, he feels the need to continue to pour water on a fire that never truly existed... now causing a flood or irrelevance.

Much as some think I should continue to "defend" myself (which I don't understand,) or "attack" Mr. Coleman (which I really didn't do in the first place and I'm not going to start now,) I don't think I'll do either.

In many posts on this blog, we speak about those who cannot expand their own horizons and see possible answers and solutions to problems and mysteries because they will not break with their treasured personal philosophies and treasured beliefs... and normally this is about those who stick to either a hypothesis about the paranormal or the passionate disbelief in it... I never thought that here, on this blog, I'd come to see someone so unwilling to read and understand and make such an issue out of a non-situation that was outside the studies we delve into.

Sadly, although there may be "mocking" and "arguments" from the other camp, my time is too precious to invest in trying to get people to examine the facts and the truths when they already have not only made their minds up... but have gone that extra step and adopted their "thoughts" and supposition as their own quasi-truth that is, at least to them and a handful of their followers, self-evident facts.

Very slim difference between dealing with this nonsense and those who are devout followers of The Church of Non-Belief.

There comes a time that we have to assess our time and resource allocation and say enough. This nonsense helps no one and teaches nothing... and furthers the field and the discussion on the topics that we say we hold so dear to our heart in absolutely no way.

In essence, we're done. To be truthful we have better things to occupy our time. We do not concede defeat in this, nor claim a victory, we really don't know why we are still discussing this.

But hey you dear readers get a twofer today ... :)

Now, c'mon now... what could be MORE important than these issues with the mistaken "slight" that has now lead to a blog featuring mocking cheesecake photos? I mean, look at the priorities!

Why educate and continue work on the study when one can simply be a funny putz with cheesecake, right?

You're handling the situation well. A lot of people, would probably go overboard trying to defend themselves.

I love how he is using women race car drivers to further prove his point.

Andrea -> As always thank you for your kind words ... :) Yeah, if he wants to keep this going based on his own misreading, and misunderstanding of the point after it has be explained to him over, and over again, he is on his own. I feel like we've done everything besides drawing him a map, or diagram to connect the dots, and who has time for that.

I read the ladies' blogs regarding this little blow up and even they don't get the fact that no one here called him a chauvinist, but said his COMMENT was chauvinistic. They're completely intent on defending Coleman's honor and integrity. While I respect what they had to say about women in general in the field of crypto and others, they are beleaguering something that never even happened which kind of looks a bit like brown nosing IMHO.

One does not have to BE a chauvinist to say something chauvinistic, exactly as someone does not need to BE stupid to say something stupid (and we've all said something stupid at one time or another, I'm sure).

One other point.

The comment about your *gasp* typo was a cheap shot on Coleman's end. That is disappointing coming from someone who is supposed to be so respected.

It also means he is running out of defense. Cheap.
