Yeah, I Can Live Without Their Approval, Too - Hate Mail

There will be babblers who claim to be judges of astronomy although completely ignorant of the subject and, badly distorting some passage of Scripture to their purpose, will find fault with my undertaking and censure it. 

Update - Hate mail:  Ha, ha, faked you out, that wasn't me, I was quoting Copernicus from his introduction of his De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium, that book you guys are always so enthusiastic about but a word of which you have never read.  I knew you'd jump to the wrong conclusion when I pushed your button.  It's what you do.

As to the Eschatots still falling for Simels' mischaracterizations of what I said instead of, you know, bothering to find out what I said, as I pointed out they don't even read what Duncan Black says on his blog which they infest like skin mites.   It has devolved into the home of the conceited, the lazy and the ignorant, pretty much.  I've presented the record of that exchange which started with Simels, answering R McGeddon's proposal to ship all of the Jews to Florida.  Here, I've got a free period so I can set out the exchange extracted from the comment thread with the link to where it happened, for those who might care to fact check.  It all began with "R. McGeddon" making a snarky remark about putting all the Jews in Israel in Florida, which, unlike Arizona, is in danger of sinking into the sea, for those who like to keep track of ironies and Simels made a far trashier remark about "Gypsies", which is why I got into it.

My solution has always been to move Israel to Florida.

R. McGeddon, futilitarian
My solution has always been to move Israel to Florida.

And while we're at it, the Gypsies need a homeland too.

I think there's an abandoned shopping mall in Jersey they could have.

The gypsies could run the concessions at the theme park, Holy-Land.

I'd love to have more Jews living in the United States. I wish they'd offered emigration here as an alternative to the disaster that putting Israel in Palestine has caused. Taking a piece out some place like Arizona if a state was desired would have been a better idea.

Only the ideological ancestors of the End Timers would have prevented that happening.

-- Steve Simels, blog malignancy  Anthony McCarthy • 4 years ago
Oh, I'm sure the Jews would have been welcomed in Arizona with open arms.

-- Billy B  Steve Simels, blog malignancy • 4 years ago
heh.

-- Deacon Blues  Steve Simels, blog malignancy • 4 years ago
With papers, of course.

-- Anthony McCarthy  Steve Simels, blog malignancy • 4 years ago
Unlike they were in Palestine, you mean?

-- Steve Simels, blog malignancy  Anthony McCarthy • 4 years ago
See, now you're actually starting to piss me off.

-- Anthony McCarthy  Steve Simels, blog malignancy • 4 years ago
Seriously, I'd love to have a few million more Jews in the United States, one of the most progressive constituencies in the country, great philanthropists, brilliant disuptationists. Living here in relative safety and security. What could possibly be objectionable to that? The Likudniks would come to, or maybe not if those with a history of terrorism were excluded.

Anybody know how to say "keep digging" in French?

-- Toucari, socialist  Steve Simels, blog malignancy • 4 years ago
Continuez à creuser?

-- Steve Simels, blog malignancy  Toucari, socialist • 4 years ago
And heh.
:-)

-- Steve Simels, blog malignancy • 4 years ago
Heck, they just love minorities in Arizona.

-- Anthony McCarthy  Steve Simels, blog malignancy • 4 years ago
OK, how about the North West. Or California. Or, hey, I'd really love to have lots of Jews in Northern Maine, we might actually turn into the liberal state that so many believe we are.

Simels, of course, lied about what was said and, as happens so often at Duncan Blacks "Brain Trust" a lie repeated becomes the common agreed to lie.  You will note that he didn't mind the idea of relocating Israel to Florida, at least he hasn't gone all lie-all-the-time over it.

Billy, you silly, you were in on the original discussion and you don't even remember that you were there.


As for his idiotic non-understanding of what I wrote about a fact of mathematics and science which David Hume noted more than two centuries ago,  I could point out what it really meant but the Tots don't deal with much of anything more complex than what they eat for supper and watch on TV.   Obviously, I don't write stuff down to their chosen level of attention.  Thus the quote from Copernicus.
