Of course - but that doesn't mean that any of them are *wrong*.

By comparing hypotheses with observations. dah has been touting a
hypothesis.  I am pressing him for supporting observations.

If her dregree was in entymology, I might be "degrading" it, but her thesis
is in education. I doubt it the question is related to her studies as I see
no direct relation of the taxonomy of flies to elementary education. 

Ask a simple question at grex, will you! 

Thanks, rcurl, I'll look for some old books at ABE. Have used the service
several times before.

If she's going to be a teacher, she should surely learn how to do her 
own research.  You are degrading her degree; it's feeble.

One way to "do your own research" is to ask other people for leads.

It seems to me that dah's argument, taken to the extreme, would suggest
that students aren't supposed to be taught at all; they're supposed to
find out everything on their own, with no help.

30: she's asking dolgr to do it for her, not just give her a lead.

31: you're saying it's acceptable to be working on a Ph. D and not have the
ability to look up things in reference books?  I, for one, think Ph. Ds should
be able to do at least that.

Sure - in education, since that was her discipline. It seems eminently
sensible to ask for help in fields outside her expertise.

Reading isn't taught in elementary schools these days?

It is difficult to find the specialist literature in many topics - but I
presume you have never tried? I'll give you a challenge, if you'd like to
prove me wrong.

Describe Lispocephala atrimaculata, Lispocephala flavibasis,Lispocephala
unicolor, Lispocephala vernalis.  Maybe in some books they are called
Caricea atrimaculata, Caricea flavibasis, Caricea unicolor, Caricea
vernalis.

Circular arguments. how borign. But at least it shows dah is capable of saying
something other than "AH HA HA HA!". Yippee. Something intelligent and
coherent (if also controversial) too. wow.

rcurl: you know I can't do that without degrading degrees.  Why would you ask
me to do something against my principles?

Copout....

response 41 of 44: Mark Unseen   Sep 22 02:03 UTC 2003

Do you do things against your principles merely because you're asked to do
them?

(Someone with principles wouldn't be acting like a troll, here or anywhere.)
dah
response 43 of 44: Mark Unseen   Sep 22 02:34 UTC 2003

I guess you don't have principles, here or anywhere.
