there. had to be said.

Hold on one second there, friend…

Just so you know what you are arguing about (and you are the only one arguing): You said “For a scientist, you seem adverse to information.” and I see that as trollish sentimentality. Concern troll, I believe, though I may have the taxonomy wrong. Thus, the slap up side the head. The pedant comment was simple healthy fungal humor.

OK, you may continue now.

Blind squirrel: I think you are conflating meiosis with sex.

No I’m not. How did you miss the scare quotes and the conditional clause? Here, I’ll show you:

Mushroom ‘sex’, if that is what it is

Did you see any sex of any sort in the video? That was the point of my innocuous comment.

What did you think of Greg’s reaction to my comment?

BTW, I’m not getting any either.

Hi

Blind squirrel: I think you are conflating meiosis with sex. While meiosis, more specifically meiotic recombination may be the a hallmark of sex it is not in and of itself sex. The sperm I am currently making have undergone recombination, but alas I aint getting any. I am also aware of post-menopausal women who have significant amounts of sex, or does that not count?

I think we have to ask the fungi that they think. Why do you insist, blind squirrel, that your heteronormative metazoan standards be applied to all organisms?

Meaningless word salad. Now you are just laying smoke.

Right out of the Dictionary for Trolls.

It may be in the dictionary, but it is still accurate.

No matter what, it is a great video.

Greg, I like the video. All the posters here like the video. Gosh, we all think that it is the bestest video that was ever made.

uncalled for and cannot help but to reflect on the person making it.

The fungal pedants have arrived to ruin it for everyone.

That statement is grandiose. I do not have that power. You can not speak for everyone. That explains this comment

LOL, I didn’t realize I had such power.

Now

For a scientist, you seem adverse to information.

This is low grade sarcasm.(I think you caught that)

For a commenter visiting someone’s blog you seem like kind of an asshole. Are you really a Friend of Charles Darwin Troll????

That sort of remark is entirely uncalled for and cannot help but to reflect on the person making it.

I don’t see how your attitude contributes to an environment where people feel free to contribute information freely to the enrichment of all. This is your goal isn’t it?

Oh,and I enjoyed the video.
