Should Kath Be Allowed To Continue As Moderator?

Poor thing - did that 13 year old in the cute Catholic school uniform turn you down?

You would censor yourself there, if you consistently enforced the rules, but look, yet another missed opportunity to show that you ever do that.

NHL hockey talk is quite prepared to restrict itself to an NHL hockey talk thread, when all threads are consistently under the same rule, so long as the no off topic bullshit rule is only being enforced for Monty and the Olympics, NHL hockey talk is prepared to burn all the threads down, no peace, without justice.

You can't bait her into consistent enforcement of the rules, I've already tried, she refuses to bite. She is forcing us to go to war, and a war she is going to lose, it's quite odd.

Generic organization of content is for suckers.

Are you going to enforce the no off-topic bullshit rule in every thread then? Or just in threads you and monte like?

Because I'm hearing a whole lot of the latter, and none of the former.

I aint moderating shit, you retard.

So it was a fake threat that you instantly regret?

Well, at least it's going to be a lovely war, I could literally NHL hockey talk non stop for the next decade, quite happily.

She truly underestimated our love of hockey, oh well, her loss.

what we should do to make everyone happy is institite a broad 1-post per 10 minutes rule to cut down on spam and off topic posts. that would also abide by the calls for consistenty.

the dude abides, this aggression will not stand man

What is theoretical physics?
.Theoretical physicists use mathematics to describe certain aspects of Nature. Sir Isaac Newton was the first theoretical physicist, although in his own time his profession was called "natural philosophy".
. By Newton's era people had already used algebra and geometry to build marvelous works of architecture, including the great cathedrals of Europe, but algebra and geometry only describe things that are sitting still. In order to describe things that are moving or changing in some way, Newton invented calculus.
. The most puzzling and intriguing moving things visible to humans have always been been the sun, the moon, the planets and the stars we can see in the night sky. Newton's new calculus, combined with his "Laws of Motion", made a mathematical model for the force of gravity that not only described the observed motions of planets and stars in the night sky, but also of swinging weights and flying cannonballs in England.
. Today's theoretical physicists are often working on the boundaries of known mathematics, sometimes inventing new mathematics as they need it, like Newton did with calculus.
. Newton was both a theorist and an experimentalist. He spent many many long hours, to the point of neglecting his health, observing the way Nature behaved so that he might describe it better. The so-called "Newton's Laws of Motion" are not abstract laws that Nature is somehow forced to obey, but the observed behavior of Nature that is described in the language of mathematics. In Newton's time, theory and experiment went together.
. Today the functions of theory and observation are divided into two distinct communities in physics. Both experiments and theories are much more complex than back in Newton's time. Theorists are exploring areas of Nature in mathematics that technology so far does not allow us to observe in experiments. Many of the theoretical physicists who are alive today may not live to see how the real Nature compares with her mathematical description in their work. Today's theorists have to learn to live with ambiguity an
