Apparently, because I am not an astronomer, I am not allowed to share what little I do know, or do cursory google searches to see if a given claim is held up by proper sources, even as I openly defer to those who do know more. Also, there's apparently no way to tell whether a given source is credible or not. I have a feeling this guy ('steve') will come out as 'be open minded'.

So I assume he's an astronomer since he's the expert, right?

What, somebody is being a dick on the internet? That can't be true.

Sounds more like a case of "I put up with prolonged virginity to learn my profession, now shut up and let the expert talk" to me.

The thing is Steve has not presented himself as an expert at all on astronomy or any other topic - right now, I have to assume the null and that he is no more an astronomical expert than I am. Several users and actual experts there are defending me and also pointing out flaws with his various...claims, if you can call them that. I honestly do not know what his problem is.

His entire argument is that you are not qualified to know if something is bad science or good science, which seems like opinion and nothing else. How can he question your ability to differentiate if you have summarised the original post was nothing to worry about ?

It is a bit like someone being given Darwinian explanations and the creation myth to differentiate, and then deciding that the word of humans writing for a god held more credit and reason. It would not take much thought to be able to differentiate the two, and it would only take a cursory google search to find cursory information if you were unaware.

If you summarised Darwinian evolution was right you would essentially be correct, and would not be expected to reiterate all of Darwin's points to say why, nor would you be expected to explain what level of critical thought you had entered into to differentiate. It would be obvious what critical processes you had used in your answer,and if your conclusion as correct there would be no issues.

Essentially the guy Steve is asking what your critical thought processes are even though your conclusion is likely the correct answer based on historical evidence and scientific thought processes. If he is unable to differentiate the critical thought processes undertaken to arrive at the conclusion then it is likely he is either dimwitted or an intentional antagonist trying to irk you.

UPDATE:

Anticultist, you're totally right. Also, dude either can't read or is blind, or is a troll, since what he wanted from me is provided on the site anyway.

Depending on what his next reply is, I may just start throwing image macros at him.

HERP DERP.

I wonder if Steve is a plasma cosmologist as opposed to believing Einsteinian physics ?

That's an intellectual insult BTW haha

Agreed with whoever mentioned possible plasma cosmologist. Which means he's not even as qualified as Worfbird because both are amateurs and he is wrong about everything to boot.

I don't. I mostly posted about this for lulz and to chronicle my first major dealing with a troll, or crank, or whatever he might be.

Nobody on 2012hoax mentioned plasma cosmology (unless I missed it), but Steve is trying say that skeptical rules of thumb are not enough to explain physics. And the person who mentioned rules of thumb was mentioning them in regards to determining the credibility of a source, not physics. Again, I'm not sure this guy can read. Or maybe he can, and he just want to twist everyone's words.

I've come to the conclusion Steve's a troll.

I guess because I'm not a smart scientist like he obviously is I can't reply to his post. Fortunately, I have better things to do than feed a troll. I'm going to start image macroing him now.

More update:

http://www.2012hoax.org/forum/t-411739/plasma-wall-on-the-sun#post-1309160

Logic FAIL. First off, I didn't even upload the video he's talking about, and second, even if I did, the hell does that say about me? Nothing, and it says even less about the points I made at the beginning of the thread. I do believe we're poisoning the well...not quite an AD HOMINIDZ.

Steve tells me NOT to defer to people who know more on a given subject. Hell if I know why. And basically everyone's now calling him out for being sassy and a big jerk.

When the guy has a point to make (regardless of how false or whatnot it is) he gets fairly insulting. I smells a troll...
