But as you were waving about Jim Lovelock’s ear-worm book- promoting provocation as though it was the Gordian Knot of the science policy interface,

Or in short:

quoting him.

BK was quoting him.

If that’s what you mean.

By the way, the Gordian Knot was the Kobayashi Maru of the ancient world; it symbolizes an insoluble problem.

Your attempt at an erudite-sounding simile falls on its face.

Apparently (to the extent I can put myself in the shoes of someone so fucking stupid), you think the Knot symbolizes more-or-less the opposite of its actual meaning.

So I should congratulate you on a good point, Nick. Or rather, the exact opposite.

it’s easy to see how were too busy genuflecting to notice.

Yeah, that’s not English.

The self-indulgence is the worst of it, and the stalker web site is your humiliation complete.

I beg to differ. BK’s worst trait is his habit of indulging and encouraging ineducable ingrates like you. Feed The Trolls Poison, that’s my philosophy.

To no great surprise, two weeks later, you still haven’t told BK or anyone else how a website might manage to “stalk” someone.

Do you understand any field of science better than you understand How Teh Interwebs Works, by the way?

Which is to say: at all?

Just askin’.

Only if you don’t know what that law means.

Obviously hit home.

All of them are possible and none of them are exclusive to any of the others.

Your dribbling moronic status notwithstanding.

Ah, more delusional proclamation.

It doesn’t.

Sorry.

Well if you’re insane enough, anything is easy.

Except facing reality.

Never had much truck with that, did you, bray.

Yes. Delusion. Both feet in the barrel.

Means nothing.

But that’s the best you have. A big slice of nothingburger.
