Yes, Harry Hindu nailed it recently. Meaningful propositions are informative (that's basically what he said). Propositions of logic aren't informative...

My own introduction to this topic was from the Encyclopedia Britannica. I was a small child and the encyclopedia was way out of date, so it said that ...

I commented earlier that interpretations change by decade. The idea that "nonsense" has a special meaning in the Tractacus is from the 1980's realist ...

I think you're making a mistake, but ok.

I think you know they weren't off topic. It's just sad you can't muster the character to admit it.

Isaac, how would you feel if I deleted that comment?

If you have a concern, how about throwing it to another moderator to look at? I advised you to do that and you said "Thanks for the feedback." Don't m...

Honestly, I thought just raising the flag about the abuse would be enough to end it. This has gotten ten times more dramatic than I thought would be n...

Do you remember the content that you deleted? I was simply saying that information about ice ages can be shocking, but it's taught in classes on globa...

I don't think you deleted that one, did you? The issue is that you disagreed with what I said and subsequently deleted my posts. Also you deleted post...

I'm surprised you didn't explain this earlier. One of the posts he deleted was one where I mentioned the content of a freshman class in global warming...

He deleted posts out of a feedback thread that was about him. You said I should have been able to post that. Imagine you're debating a topic and your ...

So you agree that this was abuse of mod power. How about the posts he deleted out of the climate thread. Can you review those and explain why they nee...

Whoever disagrees with you

Anyway, would you hang around a forum where your opponent deletes your posts? That's just crazy.

Really? Somehow I've been completely misunderstood. :grin:

He also deleted my posts in this feedback thread where I posted his PM's to me. I guess that's ok too?

As I said, if what I wrote was irrelevant, then probably the majority of that thread is irrelevant and subject to bring deleted by Xtrix. If that's ho...

That's really not true. I'm not continuing this discussion with you.

Basically what you're both saying is that you disagree with me. Neither of you has shown that what I posted was irrelevant. In fact, that you follow m...

This is a lie. Why are you writing this?

I don't think we should back down from stating scientific facts because someone could imply something we disagree with.

That's not true. I provided two citations in spite of the fact that my knowledge is primarily from textbooks.

That's just not true. I've explained that several times now

Thank you. Right. That requires computer modeling.

That's not true. Xtrix continued deleting my posts after I opened this thread and Baden was present.

Could you explain why moderation was needed? The only explanation I got from Xtrix was that my post was irrelevant.

It's supposed to follow from the portion that failed verification. Yes. I mentioned the computer modeling on this earlier. I think you're attributing ...

That's not what's happening.

I was wondering if you could comment on the feedback OP:

The Wikipedia article is wrong. The same information shows up in the article on the Milankovitch cycle and it's superscripted with "verification faile...

Wow. Tough crowd.

It's true

That was the last glacial period of a large scale ice age, during which the climate swings between long glacial periods and short interglacials. There...

This is a study from 2013 about summer insolation reglaciation triggering. It upholds the standard view that we're fairly close to a trigger point now...

I linked that source because as far as I know, it represents the standard answer. For some reason the Wiki article is highlighting one article from Na...

C'mon, man. My sources are all books and articles. You're looking for an internet blurb. Be a human, why don't you?

He's continuing to delete perfectly normal posts of mine. What the heck?

I think the SEP is saying that, per the Tractacus, propositions of logic are nonsense.

"..the last four interglacials lasted over ~20,000 years with the warmest portion being a relatively stable period of 10,000 to 15,000 years duration....

This says propositions of logic are nonsense per the Tractacus. They're tautological. They don't picture states of affairs.

The propositions of logic are nonsense. Is there some other logic?

:up:

I think you should check in with another mod before you proceed.

He's just deleting whatever he wants.

He is modding the feedback thread and modding a discussion he's taking part in. He's making ridiculous demands. I'd like a read from the mods please.

Wait. Who deleted my last comment? Xtrix is modding the feedback thread.

Tractacus?

Wittgenstein said logic is nonsense.
