My degrees are in the research sciences, so I am very evidence based in my opinions in pretty much all aspects of life. If no one who has ever been annoyed/harassed/threatened by LK has ever gone to the authorities to document the annoyances/harassment/threats, then there is no evidence of any of it. In the absence of any evidence, that is evidence that it never happened.
If anyone has provided enough evidence to authorities that LK was exhibiting behavior that warranted a restraining order, that evidence should be easy to produce by those who are claiming it exists.
My dear friends, I want to thank you all for declining to spar with the revenge-seeking Spaniard. His swordsmanship really isnât what it used to be, especially when heâs in such a state.
I have another word of caution for you. A lesson Iâve learned over years of sailing from the Cliffs of Insanity to the Strait of Magellan: Engage with sealions at your own risk. The only thing worse than a duel âto the painâ is an âargumentum ad nauseumâ.
NopeâŠ. You didnât state who you thought the police would believe in a no evidence situation. The person presenting the standard bias standard bias or the one going against that bias. You said you thought theyâd figure it out with police workâŠâŠ
Hmmmm. When I worked in a medical research lab as an undergrad and we had a question, we did not simply say, âIf our hypothesis was true/not true, it would be in the literature. Someone else would have found the answer a thousand times over, so no need for us to investigate.â
When we had questions, we looked for the answers. We didnât rely on conversations by other, non research specialists in order to satisfy ourselves that something was or was not true. In fact, even when other people were saying something was or wasnât, but we had some idea that they were wrong or, perhaps, new methods of detection might provide another answer, we pursued it.
That I said I hope you reported it and did not, in fact, ask you if you did should have told you that I donât feel the need to know whether you did or not. But reading comprehension has been a huge problem in these threads for more than two years, so your response is certainly in keeping with that theme.
@DreadPirateRoberts: thank you for the sealion warning. Worse than mermaids the way they suck you in! I hear they often end up the victims of their own devices, banished to the deep seas.
Oh, Captain, my captain - I pledge to avoid becoming victim to sealioning henceforth!!
QFPâŠHereâs some good news. You have said several times that people say you are a COTH employee. As you probably know both the editor and owner of COTH are highly educated people. It is unimaginable they would employ someone like you. Your entire vocabulary consists of QFP. Is that supposed to be scary? Yeah, youâre just the kind of literary talent COTH is looking for.
This post is so messed up I canât believe I am responding to it, but any researcher who doesnât understand that you canât prove a negative needs to go to her nearest McDonalds and apply for a job as a burger flipper.
Yep, going after info you seek is not proving a negative, but, pearls before sealions I guess.
I shanât mention burger flippers or people with honest, wage-earning jobs, as the classism here is repulsive. Give me an honest foodservice worker over some grifter living off family money any day of the week! Mocking people for their employment is so gross.
Make up your mind please. Is it burger flipping or am I cleaning lawyerâs offices?
I see that you feel cornered and defeated by myself and others. If not, you wouldnât feel the need for the personal attacks disparaging what people might do for a living.
But thatâs okay as it says far more about you than it does myself or others. I personally donât demean folks who flip burgers for a living.
