The Wit and Wisdom of Olmy

[carnyx]

Here is a selection of Olmy's witticisms, culled from recent posts;


-Yawn

- which is a tad silly.

- Pot-kettle-black

- If you paused to THINK for a moment you would see how silly this statement is.

- I guess if I thought for a minute you had the slightest grasp of what you were talking about, I may be flattered.

-Oh, do try not to be so silly!

-.you are seriously deluded...

- Even if it there was a solid contradiction, your statement would still be piffle.

- Your last statement remains gibberish

- What a bizarre and utterly ridiculous post!

- Your wittering

- just so much gibberish.

- There is such a need if you don't want to be a laughing stock

- If you want to go back and live like an amoeba - please don't let me stop you....

- you silly muppet,

- This prize piece of muppetry is not a solecism.

- Now you've wandered off Zarquon knows where....

- you really are a clown

- I'm quite convinced you wouldn't know logic if it gave you a haircut.....

- I see some articles of blind faith and some thought-free waffle but no reasoning

- you twit

- For goodness sake! Do you understand NOTHING?

- nothing intelligent or interesting to say, then......?

- to the ever growing list of things you know nothing about...

- I am not interested in your pseudo-philosophical waffle,

- given the level of attention you pay to what is said to you and the level of intelligence you have displayed here) you have probably misunderstood anyway.

- Some just seem to spout rubbish.

- You really aren't THINKING.

- Your bizarre, faith based witterings

- What a load of drivel.

- What a load of drivel.

- More gibberish.

- it's just a particularly and hilariously daft and ill-thought out one.

- Getting a little desperate

- You are living in a fantasy world.

- Your 'point' is laughable.

- Oh do pay attention, you muppet

- Good grief, it's like talking to a brick wall!

- You had nothing but waffle to offer.

- This is drivel.

- pedestrian, non-creative, plodding and dull thinking

- You are too confused and incoherent

- You are babbling.

- as you seem to have the attention span of a hyperactive mayfly,

- desperately spouting meaningless word-salad

- It's comical.

- What planet are you on?

- Gibberish.

- meaningless blather

- do you want to expose your ignorance even more

- Drivel.

Ah yes!

I started compiling a list of his insults in the same way but got fed up with it all


This man is very dim and seeks to hide his dullness by browbeating and belittlemnet


Here, for example , is his respose to a standard engineering practice of adding and subtracting path losses and antenna gains in radio communications, a standard engineering prctice that has been used for over 100 years:

What IS wrong? (in a particular application of this standard engineering prcatice)

Your understanding.

According to the 'reasoning' you have employed, as soon as you stuck the parabolic antenna on the transmitter you got much, much more 'for nothing'.

That is a measure of the intellect we are dealing with.
Hopeless

I consider that he is a science teacher out of his depth - the science is probably Domestic Science.

[olmy]

Now I am flattered.....

What I especially like is the way naymissus keeps on pointing to exchanges that show how little grasp of what is going on he has while telling everyone that I am dim....

Classic.

;D

Be not flattered yet Olmy. Wait until you are accused of stalking by registering first.

Olmy turns to these stock phrases when he is unable to construct anything better, which, sad to say is quite often.

[carnyx]

I'm waiting for olmy to start a thread.

Actually, I think we could turn this into a scientific discussion.
I personally never use insults as I find them childish and a reminder of name calling in the playground when I was a young boy.
However, the anonymity of the internet seems to have created a sort of pseudo combat where people- because of their anonymity- express themselves in terms that they would never use face to face.

The question is why? What does this say about the personality traits of the author, for surely it says something? Is the person on the internet the "real person" who, unfettered by societal rules, is able to be what they want to be and to act as they wish. Is the internet the open door on our yin and yang?

I agree, I mean just look at the abuse suffered by not only myself but others, from STA. I don't care how knowledgeable a person is, there is no justification for repeated personal abuse. Ok, if someone is clearly out to make trouble then perhaps they are asking for it, but generally a civilised approach is always better and produces a much nicer atmosphere. If I was in a position to impart knowledge to people who had a genuine thirst for it but did not always follow I would try my hardest to put things over in a way that they could more readily understand. I am afraid there is no 'love' with STA.

Your synopsis sounds about right, I'd be quite happy to do away with the anonymity, that way the normal rules of society would still apply. The way at the moment, we have 'Lone Rangers', occasionally accompanied by a 'Tonto' [either writing under the same 'handle', or using their own 'handle' in order to harry others by blitzkreig and or pincer movement postings], or just plain, anonymous 'nutters'. the other 90 % like 'real life' seem OK.

Olmy is obviously a refugee from the BBC radio 4 science board and s/he just cannot give up the VERY bad habits that were permitted there. Sad. But I have to say I am SO very glad s/he has been deprived of that particularly nasty niche from which to sally forth and pontificate about science. Here, s/he stands out inviting ridicule - like one of those intemperately arrogant pimply adolescents that someone recently said characterised internet bloggers. Some people never grow up, do they, no matter what their chronological age?

S/he's probably throwing her weight about on the Archers, now, gawd 'elp 'em!

Olmy is one of those people who are very good at 'throwing' science at you, word for word, but seem to lack the ability to think for themselves. I call it 'teacher's pet syndrome.'

[marchesarosa]

Well, we have all "piled in" as pippa would call it. But this time with very good cause, I think!

Alas, I do not think Olmy will take heed.
