One can’t help but laugh at blatantly false and absurd assertions. Apparently you think they are to be treated seriously.

If you can provide the quote I asked for - the one that proves your bizarre claim that I attacked your question - I will apologize for my error and my laughing. I could say it is YOUR behavior…

“You might have missed out on the fact that you attacked both this article and my question.”

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

I actually think the question has merit. Please provide the quote which proves your absurd assertion that your QUESTION was attacked.

Apparently you think identifying the rational basis needed TO answer your…

It’s “rude” to point out the ‘article’ which prompted all these comments is one big logical fallacy - and as such provides NO material to logically answer you question? LOL

“Why exactly is this flag picked for South Carolina’s heritage?”

“does that mean it should be on a flag flying on state or federal-owned land”

Smearing people by pretending to be able to read their minds rather than rationally trying to refute the ACTUAL arguments they present? It’s -almost- as if the people who write articles like this -don’t- know pyschologizing is a logical FALLACY.

“how impressive is it that it was able to identify the background to (mistakenly) determine the picture is set in New York?”

Yes. I was astonished by this as well. I had scanned images from a trip through the US West - so Google Photos had NO geodata whatsoever. Yet it actually created a Story which accurately…

I suspect others have this same problem/complaint:

You can’t from Google Photos. I had the same problem with old scanned photos. It had the scan date of course. The only way I could change them was in Picasa.

I usually had that problem with large video files. I would simply find the file on my drive and drop it onto the web page for upload directly. Direct upload never had a problem for some reason.

“I don’t think proportionality should matter at all, is the thing”

LOL - and one must thanks skantea for demonstrating that the mentality attacking Hunt doesn’t even KNOW what an ad hom is: an attack on a person in PLACE of an attack on an argument. So if a person simply calls skantea a NAZI, then that -IS- an ad hom. But if a person presents an -argument- that skantea IS actually an…

Except for the part where that’s an explanation of WHY he made his joke - that he has fallen in love with women scientists and they have fallen in love with him - NOT that it wasn’t a joke. Did he ALSO say he thought it is true that men and women should NOT be scientists or that he never wanted to have a woman as a…

“it wasn’t a joke, and he only called it a joke retroactively”

This is a lie. In the speech, after joking he explicitly said “now seriously”. None of the those who attended the conference even dispute this fact.

So much for your ‘argument’ against him.

Well, at least you’re not crying about it. :)

You can’t attack the argument, so you attack the person presenting the argument - ie you engage in the logical fallacy of ad homs. No wonder this scientist is nothing to you. To value HIM, you would first have to value LOGIC.

“How far would you go?”

Thanks for identifying the fact that the issue of proportionality IS important. You GET the point! :)

Of course, the rest of your post was simply a ridiculous attempt to -rationalize- the LACK of proportionality in the response to his comments. He’s just some lone old guy - he’s nothing - so…

“If a person says something racist or sexist”

So you DON’T have the conviction of your principles. Thanks for making that clear. Of course, the point you missed is that you are PREVENTING yourself and everyone else from getting any more science from those you attack and force from their jobs. So if he had another Nobel discovery in him, or another has a cure for…

If those who ran him out had any integrity - if they truly believe his mysogyny is more important than his scientific work - then they should all refrain from using any of his knowledge or work derived from his knowledge.

They should refrain from using knowledge or work derived from the knowledge of ANY and ALL…
