Actually, it isn't Bob's list, it's Matt's list. I belong to several
lists, and this is the only one where almost all traffic is focused on one
individual. All of the other lists are communities of
similarly-interested individuals who share ideas and help each other solve
problems. Yes, they get off on tangents and yes, they have disagreements,
but very seldom are there personal attacks and juvenile name-calling incidents.

I restricted my conduct under the notion of this being a
public forum on Matt's system for a number of years before
I came to realize that the problematic individuals were no
different than unruly students in a classroom who are free
to cause any manner of trouble they choose without consequences
to themselves. Public school teachers are forced to accommodate
unruly children in the spirit of "diversity of thought and deed
in a public service environment." The byproduct of loss
of command and control in the classroom is now obvious as
two generations of students struggle to even survive much less
thrive in an increasingly technical world.
A few months ago I decided that if my service to this community
was to achieve the greatest value, I would have to take back
command and control of this classroom. George and others were
politely asked to leave. Yes, they stepped outside but continue
to toss tomatoes and cabbages in through the windows and doors.
Before you start pasting me with that public-servant-in-
an-open-forum brush, I'll invite you to study the exchanges in
the items I've posted. Not one word offered by my antagonists
advances a simple idea nor do they offer considered critical
review a single invention based on demonstrable and measurable
simple-ideas.
This isn't about achieving consensus on the science . . .
science stands on its own and requires nobody's consensus.
If you perceive an error in my offering of the science, I'd
be pleased to hear about it. But if you're simply defending
some perceived right of individuals to make lots of noise,
graffiti the walls and leave their beer cans behind, you're
not going to get any sympathy or support from me.
. . . and I will continue to defend both my person and the
decorum in this classroom.
