You're on my ignore list, so good luck with whatever words and links you're throwing around, but I do want to note that you should probably learn how to use the edit button instead of double-posting.

He edited and double-posted. :laff:
In the grand scheme of things, to quote killer robot Joshua, The winning move here is not to play.

That's not the problem, the problem
was accusing me of "misinformation" and saying things "I can't even understand". In fact it's exactly the opposite.
No, the problem is you playing an expert and being unable to let it go after being called out on it by multiple people already.
Also, try looking at it from the perspective of other people for a moment. You are filling the thread with posts that are, ultimately, only about you. And you're being extremely irritating while you're at it. I mean, I get it -- you have been wronged and you now must do everything to prove yourself right. But nobody else here cares that your ego was hurt.

Lowenz. The fact that they are all "ganging up" on you, and nobody is defending you, should be an indication for you.
Personally I wanted to stay out of this. I don't know if you are right or wrong. But I do see you are very explicit in your statements, with lots of bold, italic and underlined text. I've been on the Internet for 30+ years now (well before the existence of "the web"). And I know from experience, that people who use lots of bold text, larger fonts, colors, lots of smileys, all capital letters, etc, don't make the best impression.
As others have said (who can judge this better than I can), you post a lot of information that holds truth. But not everything you post turns out to be always true. Not for everyone, not for all cases. Maybe sometimes you post something that turns out to be true later. Or partially true. But you probably also posted info that turned out to be false later. Covid-19 turns out to be a complex virus, with a complex pattern of illnesses and symptoms. You can't talk about it in terms of 100% truths. That's what bothering people. One webpage about a theory or statement, or one article in a medical journal, or one scientific study, doesn't mean that theory is true. I suggest you try to be a bit more hesitant in your style of posting.
Nobody dislikes you here (I certainly don't). Dunning-Kruger wasn't mentioned because of the theories and information you post. Personally I don't even care if your info/theories are true or not. The issue is with your style of presenting. Your determination "this is the truth". And you don't seem to realize that your determination is the issue here, not the info you present. You can't defend yourself by posting more information to prove that you are correct. That will only make you look more smug. That's what you dont' seem to realize. That's why Dunning-Kruger was mentioned.
Like Renz asked you: "tone it down a bit". And by that he doesn't mean "shut up" or "post less frequent". I think. You should just be a little less certain of yourself when you post. And maybe not use bold and underlined text anymore. A good attitude in life, imho, is to always think: "I'm pretty smart, but there is probably someone around here who is even smarter than me". That helps preventing us from saying dumb things. And remember, this forum is for people who loved the games made by TTLG. And as we all know, those games were made for "MIT-graduates". :) So the chance that there are people around here that are smarter than you and me is pretty high.
Peace. :thumb:

LOL, I'm NOT playing "the expert", you want to see that. I'm only reporting the findings in our hospitals. They are NOT "my theories".

And it's NOT about my "ego" it's about the accusation to "
spread misinformation" by someone appeared from nowhere ONLY to attack me with the classical internet-era weapon "
You are wrong 'cause of Durring-Kruger effect and you of course don't even know!!11111"

Is this a real argument?

I only see someone who's boasting himself attacking me, that's what I can clearly see.
Gryzemuis on 12/5/2020 at 13:45
Man, I was only trying to help you. Trying to help you understand what is going on here. Why people react the way they do. And yes, those 2 arguments I posted are real arguments. Of course is truth not about democracy. But in any circumstance, the chance that you are right, and everybody else is wrong, is often pretty slim. Think about that.
If you insist on proving that you are right, and everybody else is wrong, you will only make everyone think you are a clown. The more you try to defend yourself, the deeper you will sink into your swamp. There is no way you can win this. If you don't want to learn, the result will be that a) everybody puts you on ignore, or b) you'll be banned from TTLG for being a nuisance who doesn't list to advice.
Being right or wrong doesn't matter anymore. It probably didn't matter even at the beginning. This about how your present your posts. Who cares if someone "attacked you". If you have any self-confidence, what do you care if someone on the Internet disagrees with you ? Why insist in going into full battle-mode ?
Heck, I suggested you to not use underlines or bold anymore. So you won't look like a clown. What do you do ? Post with underlines and bold. What can I say ?

That's not what you're doing, though? You're selectively presenting information about a complex topic that has many unknowns and that the best experts are still in the process of figuring out and effectively going, "See? What did I tell you!? See? I was right all along!" and so on.

Lowenz, I put you on ignore what must be a full month ago now. It's got little to do with the material, you just come off as an insufferable twat. Apparently that hasn't changed much. So please do yourself a favor, read the room and learn some fucking manners.
