You seem to getting really mad over this, how about you settle down and stop with the insults.
This conversation is the result of your disproportionate offence at a light hearted name, and I entered it in response to slinging around terms like "severe case of stupidity," and continuing with a focus on childishness and immaturity. So you'll forgive me if I find such a rich comment a little funny, and don't feel too much sympathy. You're still doing it in this post, you're laughably blind to your own hypocrisy.
You are the one who decided to jump in probably the dumbest argument in existence.
I responded to you, so what does that say about you? You genuinely lack the capacity for self reflection, don't you? Amazing.
It's not in the eyes of certain people, it's disrespectful in the eyes of the scientists who probably don't wanna be represented by Boaty Mcboatface
Probably by what measure? Because you can't get past the assumption that your view is the "right" (sorry, "logical") way to think? And you try to justify that by invoking a minister with a similar stick up their ass? Because they must be correct, right? Or maybe, that's not how opinions work at all. Wait, not maybe, the other one. Definitely, that's it.
Did you even read the article? Do you even know the situation it is in? The authroities have rejected the name because it's stupid, therefore my opinion is supported.
Wow, you genuinely don't understand subjectivity, do you? Once again, amazing.
No one's denying it's their call. We were talking about whether or not we agree with their call. But I guess if you don't have a point to make, best to just distract from that right?
The irony is funny. You are just here telling me to stop talking on behalf of the scientists, and here you are saying a ridiculous statement that could easily be false, which the article proposes.
I'm saying it's a fool's errand speaking on their behalf either way, so we should look at what we do know, which is that this has gotten millions more people interested in NERC.
I honestly don't understand why you have such a big problem to the point where you are degrading to insults, but stop contradicting yourself and have a "lighthearted" twist!
Because I'm not really in the mood to turn the other cheeky to a self important tirade.
