I like the Science Board. It has a lot of neat stuff on it. But the Climate Change people, both pro and con, annoy me.

They routinely violate TMP rules by quoting important stuff for more than three paragraphs and insult news sources.
And the skeptics, like me grin are just as bad.

Shall these special snowflakes have their own board, so that sensitive flowers like myself and the OFM can turn it off?

Winston Smith14 Jun 2015 1:38 p.m. PST

And shall we be required to spell all words in titles correctly? grin

You mean discussion on 'Random Effects Generator" tables for TTG scenarios? (Severe weather, gravitational anomalies, and such)

If no, then I think not.

14Bore14 Jun 2015 1:46 p.m. PST

Typos happen, unless your a English Major then no excuses.
As per you question – no.

Winston Smith14 Jun 2015 1:47 p.m. PST

If the anisotropy of g is relevant then yes. But only if it can be proved to be anthrogenic.

jeffreyw314 Jun 2015 1:51 p.m. PST

I fully support creating a private Facebook group for the purpose of holding all TMP discussions of climate change.

Cyrus the Great14 Jun 2015 2:15 p.m. PST

No matter how many different ways you ask the same question,
the answer is still

NO

skipper John14 Jun 2015 2:27 p.m. PST

Woohoo!! Another dead horse!!!! Shoot it… SHOOT IT!!!!

Personal logo enfant perdus Supporting Member of TMP14 Jun 2015 2:51 p.m. PST

We could resurrect the Wargamers and Religion Board. Same difference.

IanKHemm14 Jun 2015 2:53 p.m. PST

No.

floating white bear14 Jun 2015 2:55 p.m. PST

I think we should have a Washing Machine board. Why should anything be irrelevant here?

floating white bear14 Jun 2015 3:10 p.m. PST

Just need 48 more….

Personal logo enfant perdus Supporting Member of TMP14 Jun 2015 3:13 p.m. PST

That would fall under Housing and Home Improvement.

Oddly enough, I have a question about choosing a gun and we don't have a firearms board. Odd, considering the number of firearms enthusiasts hereabouts.

Anyway.

Ground floor: Perfumery, stationery and leather goods, wigs and haberdashery, kitchenware and food. Going up!

hedeby14 Jun 2015 3:31 p.m. PST

No.

Disco Joe14 Jun 2015 3:36 p.m. PST

No.

Mute Bystander14 Jun 2015 3:55 p.m. PST

NO, No, no, no way in heck.

KSmyth14 Jun 2015 4:07 p.m. PST

Surely you jest. This will lead to . . . what?

Dynaman878914 Jun 2015 4:26 p.m. PST

I think we need a "New Discussion Board poll" discussion board, where all these attempts to bait people into political discussions can go.

Winston Smith14 Jun 2015 4:32 p.m. PST

This is going well….

Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut14 Jun 2015 4:42 p.m. PST

Please yes. All of my yes. More boards, more confusion, hail Disordia, all hail Eris!

skippy000114 Jun 2015 4:49 p.m. PST

Yes. Providing Bill can call down a A-10 Airstrike/Davy Crocket/FAE/Dora/Thor/Atomic Annie on everyone there when foaming at the mouth shows up.
No reason NOT to have sub-boards that are tied into the main boards. It's already done. All research could be collated and cited and since ALL of us are part of The Finest Minds Of Human Civilisation Think Tank we should reach a conclusion.

So there. Neener, Neener.

If we get one it should go in the fantasy section.

Mako1114 Jun 2015 5:37 p.m. PST

Nyet comrade.

For such an important issue of our day as this, it requires a completely new site, similar to the Blue Fez, since it IS the most dire threat to our existence, currently (or so I'm told by the talking heads), surpassing even ISIS, other islamic terrorist orgs (yes, I used the little "I" on purpose), unemployment, deflation/stagflation, etc., etc.

I've got a few catchy names in mind, but can't name them openly here, since I'd be locked in the DH for eons.

Perhaps naming it after that pontificating, jet-setting, carbon-spewing, rich guy, who is a real "bore" might be appropriate.

Grelber14 Jun 2015 6:08 p.m. PST

Winston, I believe we need two new boards to handle this, one pro-climate change and the other anti-climate change. Since both sides routinely ignore the other side's input, they won't have to bother even looking at it.
Besides, this will give you the fun of turning off not one, but two boards! Oh the excitement! Be still my pounding heart!

skippy000114 Jun 2015 8:40 p.m. PST

Well, since Climate Change has a lot to do with water, both sides of the issue should be water boarded on a Water Board.

Martin Rapier15 Jun 2015 2:05 a.m. PST

Just leave science alone, as terrement says, you can always ignore/stifle particularly annoying posters.

If it becomes too political (and sadly, Climate Change has become much more about politics these days, and a lot less to do with science), then send it to UM.

RavenscraftCybernetics15 Jun 2015 9:32 a.m. PST

no

SBminisguy15 Jun 2015 9:45 a.m. PST

There is a board for this kind of politically challenged topic, it's called the Blue Fez.

Weasel15 Jun 2015 9:53 a.m. PST

We do, it's the science board ;)

It's tucked away under TMP plus, so let people do their thing.

Personal logo javelin98 Supporting Member of TMP15 Jun 2015 4:30 p.m. PST

You know what would be cool? If we had a "Wargaming Board". That would be so freakin' awesome.

Sundance15 Jun 2015 4:41 p.m. PST

Only if you invented the internet.

mandt215 Jun 2015 9:22 p.m. PST

I think the subject should be banned, just like religion, and politics.

Interesting how a couple people here are even using this thread to make their opinions on it known. It's a strange obsession.

Personal logo javelin98 Supporting Member of TMP16 Jun 2015 9:06 a.m. PST

I mean, think about it -- a board where we could go and talk about nothing but wargaming and miniatures. We could call it "The Page of Miniatures" or something.

Dasher16 Jun 2015 11:58 p.m. PST

No.
