I made the original pigeon post? Did you read the part asking me for sample size on wizards?

How about you tell all here what is a reasonable sample size for being able to rule out wizards? How many people have you seen shooting fireballs out of their hands?

You made the original "Questions on Delusional Thinking" post, which was something of a rant. That wasn't in reply to anyone - it was the original post.

You're obviously mad at someone, and it sounds like it's someone religious, who believes in miracles. But you didn't reply to them. Instead, you came here to rant at us.

I'll give you the last word, because I have no interest in going further with this conversation.

It is totally not ok to do this sort of flamewar on HN and we've had to ask you repeatedly not to. This is just a sample:

(Note that last one: "Please don't do tit-for-tat flamewars on HN. It's off topic, nasty, and tedious.")

Would you please stop getting involved in flamewars on HN? I don't want to ban you but you keep doing it.

Sigh. Mea culpa.

I actually am trying...

What is wrong with my question on delusional thinking? Is it not an active area of discussion among psychologists? Is it not important to understand what delusional thoughts are versus rational thoughts?
