I really don't know how this topic has anything worthwhile to add to the
subject of memetics. I again suggest either ending this and related threads or
stopping both Joe Dees and Ted Dace from posting to the memetics list. From
reading responses on here, I am obviously not alone in this point of view. Yes,
someone has mentioned to me that I can simply delete posts from them and not
read, but reality simply doesn't work this way. You let people like Joe Dees
and Ted Dace act like mindless propaganda spewing jerks and then others join
in, or eventually others take it as their cue to mindlessly spew their own
mindless propaganda. Eventually you don't have a worthwhile forum anymore.
Already many people in the real world as well as academia, think that memetics is
some sort of fantasy or science fiction joke. This kind of crap only confirms
it. They can now sign up to memetics mailing list and have to delete dozens
many political propaganda rants dripping with ad hominem that they could have
probably found by any group amateur flamers anywhere on the Internet of similar
subject and definitely of similar caliber. It doesn't take long for a person
to assign this stupidity to the forum in general and simply walk away/cancel
their subscription/ or otherwise never read it again. This forum used to be
worth reading. I am beginning to have my doubts anymore.
Love,
