I know you're not that stupid. You're just trying to get into an argument.
Sorry, I'm not in the mood.
You were shown to be wrong pages ago. Just because you don't understand my examples doesn't discredit them, it just means you're kind of dumb.
So which is it? Are you just trying to get into an argument, or are you really that dumb?

Looks like he doesn't want to answer the question at all.

What he didn't know is by not answering he actually answered the question all on his own.

Welll... he did leave the forum in a huff over an issue. I'll give him a chance.

Wait, he left as in not coming back or just because he was mad at the moment?

Who knows?
He came back on this morning long enough to read a little and send nasty PMs to at least a couple of people.

Yep, I got one. Although I'm not sure what he meant by ETI. I asked him but he never replied.

ETI means "Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence".

LMAO, ironically, he was berating both of you for your interest in ETI. :)

Hell, I don't have much interest in ETI. I mean, if they find some bacteria or fungus or whatever, great. If an alien civilization contacts us, that'll change my life about as much as it would change everyone's life (our perceptions of the universe, our perceptions of an alien race, etc.)
I really don't care. But what I do care about is a debasement of science, and taking the words of Fermi and twisting it to his own goals, and a debasement of a scientific organization (SETI) on unfounded principles. I have never claimed that SETI was perfect, or that it couldn't do with any real changes. But Bill has done nothing but use Arguments from Authority from arguments that didn't exist, and continue to speak down to those that disagreed with him.
Only at one point did Bill actually say something that was even vaguely accurate, and give a good reason for it.
See, I call out bullshit when I see it. Bill reeks of bullshit.

I think people must tell you that all the time and you look for someone to offload on.
Why else would you make posts that have nothing to do with the subject at hand?

I know. It makes them look like idiots. Which I cannot help but enjoy giving the acidic nature of their comments.

What about the phrase "Far and away"? As in, "It's far and away from here."
It's redundant. Something that is "far" is automatically "away". It's not like you'll see something, "Far and nearby!"

To him, it does.
Pontless arguing and appearing superior to others seems to be his life.

Hey, look:
New and Improved Antimatter Spaceship for Mars Missions
Even NASA Rocket Scientists think something can be both New and Improved. Obviously Bill is no Rocket Scientist.
