WTF ...79

[pbmus]

Neil, making public statements about something I eat, MATTERS BIG TIME ... You are not just any astrophysicist, you are the Cosmos Astrophysicist and you have certain powers ... Of course you can study GMOs all you want but when you publicly state that they are just fine to eat, you have crossed the line from private citizen having an opinion to looking like you are being paid for taking sides ... Love ya Neil, but you are a public figure now ... a very public figure ...and what you say MATTERS ...

1. Link? Where and when?

[pbmus]

3. Here is what started the Neil knows GMOs threads ....

[lonestarnot]

4. Crap. Thanks for that.

I was hoping it wasn't true.

[Warpy]

2. Read his update

He's actually on the side of people who want them labeled so they'll have a choice.

[lonestarnot]

5. That's nice to know too.

[abelenkpe]

15. Cool.

I just want food labeled. I really don't understand why that is such a big problem.

6. Really?

I would expect this from the libertarian/conservative side, but at DU? When someone says something that doesn't agree with your world view and you insert the "getting paid for taking sides" without any evidence of it whatsoever you have lost already.

[pbmus]

7. It is not my Worldview and I said it looks like you are getting paid ...

many others said he was a paid shill ... and you lost when you inferred that I said he was paid ...

You like most conservatives put words in my mouth ...

[Eko]

8. Naw,

you are just saying it looks like it, right? I mean you are just saying,,,,,,,. From where I sit it sure looks like you are using the same ad hominem attack that conservatives and libertarians use,,, just saying it looks like it.

[pbmus]

9. First, I am not attacking, you are attacking by accusing me of calling

Neil a shill, which is totally false and a strawman ... just saying ...

[Eko]

10. So,

If Bill O'rilley says "It makes it look like President Obama is a Kenyan" you are cool with that? Using your logic he is not calling the President a Kenyan, he is just saying.

[pbmus]

11. I guess you are saying I could call you a troll and be cool with that .. nt

[Eko]

12. What

a nice answer to a simple question, once again you engage the ad hominen attack.

[Eko]

13. Why did you

even bring up the "it looks like"? What was your point? Who was your audience? I am pretty sure you are a progressive/democrat from your posts, you just were using bad logic in that post. Dont be offended.

[Eko]

14. When you use fox news tactics,

I get to call that out. I don't care if it is a cause celebrity for the left wing. We have to be better than them, better, not the same just on the other side. Otherwise we are just the left wing tea party.

[Eko]

16. And

I never inferred that you said he was paid, my word were "you insert the "getting paid for taking sides" without any evidence of it whatsoever you have lost already. ". Insert is not inferred.

[Eko]

17. In other words,

you gave weight to the side that he was a paid shill without providing any evidence by saying it looks likes he was paid for taking sides. Fox News style reporting at its worst.
