OK Dingus, maybe you're correct about "dumb"

Bruce Kay,
the catch all applicable to Ed:
[3] or of otherwise [quite vague but its your definition from somewhere?] disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

okay
Ed ...the best style
Indeed that style measure yields far from the best
If you recall I refused to participate because style is not a word us sport doggers use.

Jim Brennnan,
you ask
Please offer up you education and acumen involving physics, climatology and mathematics
the short version: In 1970 Dr. Ralph Hunsinger offered me a research grant to make a one dimensional cloud model at Atmospheric Science SDSM&T. I decided to figure out how rocks break instead.

Bruce K,
you say
and furthermore if it is substantive then strongly presented is justified.
Nothing about a post on style can be substantive as it is purely a dream in one's head.

Bruce K,
the physicist has dipped his toe into trolling waters thinking it was a fish lure. His record is not 100% clean for the purposes of FBI files. It seems he could not handle the turbulence to stay in until the setup spontaneously ran out of energy. Entropy
edit: Can someone post a picture of Ed on the Beautiful Decay Thread?

Not sure about this thread nor the concept of educating the "dumb". From the definitions supplied, it seems it is not education the "dumb" are lacking. It seems that it would be quite easy to be uneducated, but still not be "dumb".
I'm pretty sure that Ed, who is both educated and intelligent, is capable of making that distinction.
But this thread isn't about Ed...It's about someone's perception of Ed.

I do! Winters are long cold and windy in Laramie and you like yanking on Ed's chain!
Ed's chain is not easily yanked. I've never seen him lose his cool.

survival,
What do you notice? Ed seemed quite distraught [losing the cool] the day he pulled thread and in fact did not post any answers.
your memory however seems quite shallow.

I realize I'm late to this party, but Ed's posts are ones that I always read. Whether he writes about climbing, physics, or life, he writes something worth the time to read, absorb and, ultimately, enjoy. Most remarkably, this is true even when we disagree.
Maybe that's just a characteristic of physicists, since I could say the same things about jstan's posts, but I'd have to add mathematicians to the select list, too, since I can't think of a post by rgold or jogill that I would ignore, either.
In truth, we are blessed with many gems on Super Topo, but I can't think of anyone that outshines Ed.

I think it would be much more informative to us if Jim Brennan would tell us what he would like to do to Dingus McGee rather than what he would like to see Ed do to Dingus McGee.
Can the man speak his mind? From what I can tell he has posted his vicarious sadistic wishes as projected to ED for the man of action?

Jim,
that was a great punch, I did wonder why you capped Planck. I loose this observation hands down.
