I’ll take a look at the white paper, thank you for the link. I’m not going to debate the science or “facts” with you as this is a point neither of us will budge far from. However, I will say that much of the info on hive that gets downvoted is created as an opinion derived from reading the work of scientist who are renowned in their field. These people know much more that you or I ever will on the subject and they deserve to be heard. Just because you have chosen to disagree with that side of the science doesn’t make you right, and the same goes for myself. That would be arrogant of us and very ignorant of a past which has proven that corruption exists within every industry.
Getting back to the point of all this. As someone who stands on the outside of the flagging war, I would ask that you reconsider your tactics and find another way to manifest your opposition.
I appreciate the hard work you and others have put into creating hive and I’m sure you have all been very well rewarded. However, that doesn’t mean you should have a disproportionate control over what gets rewarded(at least to the point where you can zero someone’s rewards).
Again when you assume you make an ‘Ass’ out of ‘u’ and ‘me’. :)
Please don’t try and teach science to me. I am a scientist and I am well renowned in my field. I have 2 masters degrees and a PhD. :)
If you try to teach me science that would really be the end of the conversation. It seems like we have arrived there. See, usually this happens. I didn’t assume anything but here we are :)
And so you have resorted to attempting to belittle someone who is trying to have a sensible conversation with you. Well done you. I never made any attempt to “teach you science” but instead tried to make the point that science is often contested, often with valid points on either side (surely even you would agree with this?)
It’s a shame your ego has gotten in the way of our conversation. I think I understand now why things have got to this point.
Ce la vie
