Guest Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 DETRITUS is a geological term, meaning the loose rocks sloughed off of a mountain which pile up at the bottom of the slope.The medical field found it a useful word for describing dead tissue which is sloughed off of a wound or specimen. Jack I am surprised that someone who has been 'flogging a dead horse' for as long as Jack has not encountered this term before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack I am surprised that someone who has been 'flogging a dead horse' for as long as Jack has not encountered this term before I took geology in college. I learned about detritus about 60 years ago, I daresay before Mr. Walker was born. I found it useful in studying the faked Apollo photos when there were discussions of rocks at the bases of moon "mountains". Mr. Walker thinks that nobody was educated until he came along to roll his eyes. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also thank you for turning a thread in the Education Forum in an educational direction - elementary spelling and the meaning of words. It is a small start at least for this section. All we need now is the oleaginous one to interject with something pompous about syntax and my cup will be full. Happy bickering children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 On reviewing this strange thread I see retrospectively that the 'spelling police' didn't pick up on my misspelling of the word pedagogical (since corrected) which interests me for a moment.

Dawn Dawn, I think all you have done is demonstrate some of the disinformation and unfounded accusations that can emanate from some of the more infamous members of this forum. Let me explain: - To the best of my knowledge, Charles has neither been banned nor had any posts on this thread removed. - To the best of my knowledge, David resigned from the Forum and asked that his account be deleted. - Jan has not been banned but has an active account. He is under moderation because he refuses to abide the Forum rules regarding avatar photographs. - Magda has not been banned but has an active account. She is under moderation because she refuses to abide the Forum rules regarding avatar photographs. I would appreciate it if you would not make unfounded accusations against Forum members.

[/colorThe accusations are NOT unfounded. Yesterday CD had a post removed, and immediately after that and since he's been denied access to EF. Months ago a similar thing occurred with David G. Magda and Jan were put on moderation. Jan had the audacity to question the veracity of a "Colby" post. Andy knows full well he both deleted CD"s post yesterday and then disabled his account. Here is the now-deleted post: QUOTE(Andy Walker @ Feb 28 2009, 04:17 AM) All we need now is the oleaginous one to interject with something pompous about syntax and my cup will be full. Your cup, I'm forced to conclude, is anything but full. And that tiny tidbit, as Dr. Freud might note, explains so very much. Oleaginously yours, CD For the record no one, least of all CD has asked me to do this. After Andy said yesterday I was not posting the truth I let it go, but now to have Evan come back and call me a xxxx, without actually using the offending term, I am setting part of the recore straight.

Dawn Meredith Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 And for further clarification, this from Magda: (Some of this is quoting Evan from the above post, and then Magda's responses, which are preceeded with "-". Respectfully submitted, Dawn Meredith . I think all you have done is demonstrate some of the disinformation and unfounded accusations that can emanate from some of the more infamous members of this forum. Let me explain: - To the best of my knowledge, Charles has neither been banned nor had any posts on this thread removed. Then why is he getting a 'you cannot access' message when he tries? And, here is the removed thread the one Evan claims has not been removed but is no longer there anyway: QUOTE(Andy Walker @ Feb 28 2009, 04:17 AM) All we need now is the oleaginous one to interject with something pompous about syntax and my cup will be full. Your cup, I'm forced to conclude, is anything but full. And that tiny tidbit, as Dr. Freud might note, explains so very much. Oleaginously yours, CD - To the best of my knowledge, David resigned from the Forum and asked that his account be deleted. David never 'resigned'. His status was set to 'guest' by an administrator so he can no longer post there. - Jan has not been banned but has an active account. He is under moderation because he refuses to abide the Forum rules regarding avatar photographs. Disingenuous to say the least. Jan has requested many times to have his account deleted. He wants no connection to the EF at all. He wants all trace of him ever being here gone. Who can blame him. He has put this in writing to John. No answer has been forthcoming despite many requests for a response. When Jan responded to He who must not be named aliased 'peer reviewed' 911 psyops web site saying "What a crock of lying, disinformational, BS." about it, Evan put Jan on moderation even though Jan had not broken any forum rules. It is clear that Jan was referring to the web site itself and not to a person. Jan's description is a fair and accurate description of the web site. Evan told Jan he would take him off moderation if he (Evan) could alter the meaning of Jan's post. Jan did not want Evan to re-write anything of his and at that point wanted out of the EF. - Magda has not been banned but has an active account. She is under moderation because she refuses to abide the Forum rules regarding avatar photographs. There was NO problem with my avatar/photo except in the mind of vindictive moderators. It was there ALL that time before and NO ONE had a problem with it. John S himself put it up on the forum and said nothing. He said nothing when I wrote him asking if it was okay or not. Only Evan (and maybe Antti) has a problem with it as I was the one who spoke out and that was my punishment. No one else except for Jack (his biography link didn't work unknown to him) was treated the same way. Even though David came out and said it wasn't him in that photo still nothing was done to anyone else. All the other people with dodgy photos or no photos were not ever dealt with until they were brought to the attention of the EF moderators by ME and I was busy for days doing that. Boy, I bet they really loved me by then. And doing their bloody moderation too as they keep letting the xxxxx and xxxxxx Craig Lamson call Mark Stapleton a drug addict or heroin user on a public forum which I thought disgraceful. Then Burton was up in arms about poor Craig being moderated. There were other instances of biased moderation too. I believe there are still members with dodgy photos and no photos on the EF. I replaced it as requested EVEN though I feel I needn't have as I was NOT breaking any forum rules just pissing Evan off by not complying with his God Almighty petty command.. But it is still not okay with him. I will not undress for HIM and it is symbolic of how I was treated there in any case but they don't want that in their faces hence their intransigence on the matter. Why wont they respect my cultural and personal needs? Do you think Evan will ever allow me to post? No. It is, in effect, if not name, a ban. Only Myra and you (and Terry) were untargetted and that was only a matter of time. Charles was allowed to return ONCE he did his time in coventry like a naughty child. Meanwhile Len, Craig and Evan ran riot. And NOTHING happened to them. Do they really in their right mind think we would just go and start a forum because we were slightly miffed? It has been a bloody hard slog and cold hard cash has parted from all of us and more to come. I would appreciate it if Evan would not make unfounded accusations against Forum members.

Guest Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 It appears to me as though Charles Drago is having problems with his computer. There is nothing unusually offensive (for Charles that is) in what he seems to have attempted to post and therefore no reason why anyone should have wanted to delete it. His account is still active and not subject to any moderation restrictions. Sorry the reality isn't more exciting but there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
