Do you ever stop to think and wonder why Acmlm isn't active?

And you and I both already went through the whole circus and back on your amusement. I don't believe post counts matter. This isn't about post counts. In fact, the entire point was that people need to get over their own ideas of what spam is in order to encourage activity.

If I had made specific examples, I probably would have been accused of whining, pointing fingers, or flaming or something like that. Generalizations were safer in the long run, and I feel that others have helped bring this into clarity somewhat. But I think you can fairly easily look around at several recent threads where there are some very good examples of what I am referring to.

And I don't know who, but apparently someone thought this thread was making progress, and whoever it was, I thank them. <3

Wow, I'm glad to see I'm not alone with re-reading books excessively. How fast do you read, YD?

It seems the majority of users who have voted have a very lenient definition of spam. I think that's a good thing.

About the poll; the term thecodont is no longer is use. It's an obsolete term. As for the topic at hand, I'm not educated enough on the subject to form an opinion, but I do not subscribe to theories of macroevolution. Microevolution is observable, macroevolution boils down to, "Given billions of years, it's plausible that microevolution changes creatures so radically as to become entirely new species." This has yet to be proven, demonstrated or observed.

I recognized that "thecodont" is obsolete. That's why it's in quotes.


Hmm, a thought; has it ever been proven beyond reasonable doubt that dinosaurs had reptilian scales? I seem to recall a program on the Discovery channel exploring the possibility that dinosaurs had feathers and soft skin, rather than scales. The CG models looked quite plausible in my eyes. I don't know why, but I never saw giant reptiles as anything other than horror movie fodder.


Some dinosaur fossils (mostly maniraptorans from the Yixian Formation of China) have been recovered with imprints of feathers, but also with scales too (NGMC 91 and Scansoriopteryx come to mind). Tyrannosaurid skin impressions are known and they show scales on at least part of the body. Same for the few ceratopsians and hadrosaurs with skin integument preserved.


I'm curious, have we ever found the organs or tissues of a dinosaur? From what I understand, all we have are bones. Therefore, can anyone really say with any certainty that dinosaurs were reptilian, or cold-blooded? Unless we could see their organs or such, all we have is postulation and theory. This topic has sparked my interest into paleontology...


Sparking interest in paleontology is something I like to do ~ Anyway, as far as preserved organs, at least Scipionyx comes to mind, but its organs were rather smashed. I'll dig out my "Dinosaurs of the Air" by Gregory S. Paul if necessary as a good general defense of dinosaur warm bloodness, if I need to go into details. You can also check the archives of Dinosaur Mailing List (in fact, I encourage you to do so if you are interested!).

Really, I'm surprised that you and your IMMENSE intelligence couldn't detect the LOL and get off your srs buzinss train


You seem very offended, and I can't really understand why. All of my comments seem justified. And incidentally, I don't really see Slay's post as doing anything that has hurt what I've said overall.


Anyways, I have my right to privacy. I live in Canada. And I don't go to the university that everyone thinks I go to :o OH NO! Regardless of this, the gentleman upstairs simply told me what he told me. Believe it if you want. But otherwise you're just not being lol enough.


Don't make statements that you can't back up, enough said. I really recommend you don't play the name-dropping game with me on this.

You're referring to the Yixian and Jiufotang formations in China (yep, near Korea too), and Sinosauropteryx prima, which is not the same as Scipionyx samniticus, which is from Italy (which is what I was referring to above), and only has the stomach contents (but not the stomach itself) preserved. There is no "sacred Confucius lizard", you're thinking of Confuciusornis (which would mean something like "Confucius bird"). What other spelling are you aware of? Because I'm not. And I'd dare challenge that there isn't another one either.

I think it's rare for Mario sports games to be rated too highly. Most of them are just okay. I like the others much better.

Slay: Personally, I don't subscribe to that microevolution is separate from macroevolution. I don't see any difference between the two. Out of curiousity, would you like to consider looking at this from a classification standpoint? I realize given your viewpoints (if I understood them correctly), this would be arbitrary, but do you feel that birds can be classified as dinosaurs?

I didn't watch this week actually, so I can't really comment. But I agree that the voices were fine in the first two episodes last week, I don't really understand why so many people are complaining.
