Young Jedi, resist responding to the dark side as set forth in the first post teachings we must.

Mag, my favorite Jedi!!!

Remember Yoda did give Darth Sidious a bit of a run for his money! Then after hanging up his Coat, he went into exile!

But yes I agree, Ignoring these posts is the best thing!

we don't always see the bigger picture.
we may see someone explode and type things that are "useless" in the technical sense,
and perhaps socially inappropriate, if there is such a thing for a cyber-interface...

but what we DON'T see, is the prototypes and test equipment on their workbench,
or the private messages they send back and forth with other members,
and unless we dig around in their profile, we don't always see the other threads they may be involved in.

Each member is just as important as the next, and we shouldn't be so quick to judge someone simply because of what they may have typed in a thread we might be interested in.

We don't always know what that person is thinking, things like science, physics, and the nature of our reality can often be a personal issue for people. More times than not, an individuals perspective is engraved into them like a hardened religion.
It can be difficult to learn that everything you thought you knew was not exactly the way they taught you.

The other side could be that a particular person was just fed up with seeing the same stupid idea for the 139th time,
and a brand new handful of pleasurable young enthusiasts is chasing it down again.......
and he just lost it...... and said things that we not productive to the situation.

or maybe there was just a break-down in the communication process somewhere earlier in the thread.

whatever the case may be, theres not many people here that add "nothing" to the Forum.
so we shouldn't be so quick to dismiss them.

Hi smOky2,

I agree with everything you have posted.  I especially agree with your assessment that there are very few on this forum that contribute nothing.  My comments are about those few.  And although some have suggested censoring them I have not suggested that nor do I agree with that.  My only suggestion was that we do not respond to those posts that are only made to disrupt or spew hate and ire.  By not responding we are not encouraging that kind of posting and hopefully after a while the poster will get tired of posting when the posts get no response.

I am NOT referring to posts that simply disagree with a technical issue or have a different viewpoint about something.  Expressing different ideas and thoughts is how we can all grow and learn.

Respectfully,
Carroll

Hi Carroll, Sm0ky2,

Learning is a funny thing to study! I am doing some Machine Learning at the moment at University.

Human Learning is filled with all sorts of dynamics: Belief, Point's of View, Inferances, Misconceptions, Miss-Direction... and the list goes on.

Machine Learning is much more rigid: Logic and Reason within a strict set of guidelines.

Censorship is not the answer, I was merely suggesting a way to make Threads easier to follow for others interested in learning. It is a shame that all Threads will become so burried in mountains of other threads that sooner or later, they become merely Ones and Zero's sitting on a Hard Drive somewhere and no longer visited by biological Entitys anymore.

A good portion of the posts to many of the threads here on this forum are in no way Constructive or help in anyway to achieve any goals. There is no learning component to them!

The chance we let pass us by may be the last chance we are given.
