@clacke

good, I am glad to hear you made it through ok!! It sounded dramatic!

@clacke hope it passes quickly and the damage can be fixed soon?

@clacke "After the Tang everything was a bit fractured..." That made me chuckle--that's my memory of Chinese history too, it gets really messy after the Tang dynasty. 😁 Funny to see someone else say it too, though.

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon You had me at "highly qualified", assuming that entails "agrees with me on core values and policies", and even more so if it includes "Not at an age where dementia is a going concern."

@thor not entirely! Science is a contact sport--the whole point of scientific presentation and publication is to have other experts pick holes in your arguments, models, assumptions and conclusions. Scientists criticize each other as part of the job. There is no similarity to the cops.
