There is literally nothing wrong right now on these forums, Whirly entertaining such an idea is gaslighting at its finest. These little disputes have always been the way of online forums and are natural.

This is the most condescending and mean-spirited I think I've ever seen you. I un-sarcastically, un-ironically, and truly thought you were someone devoted to portraying and communicating honest use of language when it came to promoting your beliefs. You were the one good member here who consistently backed up his statements with fairly credible links and spoke in a way that suggested you put thought and care into your proclamations, and you're decently bipartisan in your assessments.


I've been popping back in and out of here since this morning to see your reply, but you avoided it for the bulk of the day only to post 9 hours later trying to "score a win" in front of your internet friends with glibness and snideness. F*ck man, even I wasn't doing that here. I cared about the words you chose, not your underlying point. I otherwise agree with you, but you're either not reading that far or you're chafing horribly at having the shitposting *sshole of the forum call you out for what I thought was originally an understandable slip of the keyboard tongue or a misnomer. I don't know. I didn't think your skin was so thin.

I just can't believe you took this sudden turn for the arrogant with your vitriol and double-downing on poor interpretation of scientific terminology and literature. I haven't gone through a biotechnology education to not go out of my way to split hairs with the details--in science, the correct wording of them matters, and the wrong or poorly chosen use of words gets people killed and gets the uninitiated making bad decisions.


*sigh* So for a last summation, not that you'll care at this point.

Common cold: collection of symptoms caused by over 200 different types of viruses, rimarily human rhinovirus.
ARIs: acute (which the cold is not) illnesses of the respiratory tract such as pneumonia, influenza, etc.

Pneumonia is typically bacterial in origin, influenza is a separate virus group than the cold's. Rhinovirus (one of the causes of cold, but not all) can ALSO cause ARIs or cause a cold to progress to an ARI, which is much worse.

I know you like links to sources, so here:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3553670/

HRV sucks. It causes cold, but it can ALSO cause other bullshit that is so much worse.

"The common cold kills millions each year" is an incorrect and wrong statement. Full stop. This is the proper way to say, using correct medical terminology, what you first said:



That's it. Colds aren't the killers. They're the Charmanders to ARIs' Charizards. They still suck, but they won't refuse to be trained by you if you lack the badges from the expensive Western hospital.



But fine, man. Stick to your loaded eye-grabbing headline. Have your win. It's about all you people care for.

Because you're a douchebag, condescending, are so sure of your ignorance - you get what you dish from me and that's how I've always been. It's what got me in trouble with Ush so many times.

You don't deserve a respectful reply and you've wasted far too much time on this and I won't waste anymore time on it.

It's obvious you know you f*cked up when you retardedly said "er mer gerd! no cold mentioned in articlez!" when the study is about how deadly rhinovirus is: a cold.

ARI Institute has article after article about colds and how deadly they are (causing ARIs, duh!) and has concluded that 4 million + people die from them each year. CDC says 2 million children. Almost all of them originating from colds. <- A position supported over and over again with you never once disputing that in any legimate way.

You do not deserve another reply. I've so thoroughly destroyed your ignorance in my reply that there's no wiggle room, no further debate. You can scream cry and beg all you won't: you're simply too stupid to be worth engaging in a discussion of anything serious. No, I am not kidding.

There are 3-4 people I've run across on KMC that fit that category. It's a rare group. You have to be really dumb and/or dishonest to be put into that group because I even give not so bright people some leeway and respectfully engage them. The most insulting thing I do to a person is write them off as too stupid to be worth talking to because I cannot think of a worse position to be in.

It's almost like he's full of shit when he laments about the state of this board.

Where should the forum be?
The most active for decades! People are at home more and have more free time. It may be a little busier among broadly the same people but, many like Lord Lucien and Jaden are actually posting less. Why?

I have created a poll with some of the reasons I feel are preventing making KMC GDF great again.
