I’m getting more than a little tired of the long-running wrangle on the wet ape hypothesis thread. I’m closing it and opening a new thread here, with a few rules:
-
No more pointless dismissals of comments from either side as mere opinion or evidence-less, even if they are.
-
Absolutely NO copy-pasting of arguments from other sites. If you’re not going to engage in conversation, but just want to unthinkingly recite rote claims from elsewhere, go away. That will be considered a bannable offense in this thread.
-
If you want to reply to a previous comment, actually reply to it. That involves thinking about and addressing the points in that comment. That means actually backing up your claims with evidence.
-
You’ve got one page of comments to do it all in. If this thread hits 500 comments, I’m simply closing it. You’re done.
-
If you try to run out the clock and spew lots of itty-bitty repetitive posts, I will ban you.
-
If you just snipe and run, I will delete your comment. So be substantive, or shut up.
OK? OK. Go to it.
I expect this thread will promptly die now that the obtuse and refractory proponents of paleontological nonsense are prohibited from regurgi-posting and are expected to actually have a dialog about the evidence. They may surprise me, but they probably won’t.
Besides, Space Ape Rules.
