Damn. A guy goes off to work on car for a few hours then comes back to a soap opera style drama, minus the pretty ladies and the extramarital affairs.
I vote Stan to stay on the island. I also vote Dan to stay on the island. I believe both offer constructive comments when not directly commenting to each other.
It seems the only time things get out of hand is when someone questions CTE or admits to having difficulty with CTE. There's a bad history there that just can't be let go for some reason, sort of like racism in the south. It doesn't happen when Samba or Hamb or any other aiming method gets probing questions. There are over 90 YouTube clips from Stan alone concerning cte, along with 2 DVDs and an upcoming book. If someone questions or challenges CTE, including me, simply direct them to these resources and move along.
Challenging questions are normally a good thing because they make a product or idea better. Uncivil responses to challenging questions accomplishes nothing but useless drama. I read somewhere that Einstein once made a mathematical error and wasted nearly a year unknowingly working around it, until finally a better mathematician looked at the work and pointed out the error. Einstein merely accepted the error, corrected it, and moved on. It was not vital to his work, but he appreciated the probing mathematician for his input instead of clinging to his guns and calling the guy an idiot, or an Einstein hater, or whatever.
** UPDATE: The mathematical error was in Einstein's work on a unified theory of Distant Parallelism (a study of gravitation and electromagnetic fields). He eventually dropped the theory because he couldn't figure it out. That's when a 23-yr old physics student found the error in a paper Einstein had published. At first Einstein wrote the kid and told him the equation was correct, then a week or so later the kid received another letter telling him that the error was indeed there. Einstein was gratefully pleased that the error was found because it gave him a new approach for the theory he had quit working on.
I vote everybody stays on the island. And if anyone has any secrets for swapping motors in a 2005 Chevy cavalier, pm me! Lol
