I did read it. It's a fluff piece.

I think it had good information for people who aren't in the field. Not a fluff Piece at all.

Buddy, my field is computer science. I learned literally nothing new other than we found definitive bones to prove the pre-existing theories that we've had since 1990

Well I didn't write the article, so I guess all the people who are publishing it, disagree with you as well. You know, you seem soooo friendly, I would never have guessed computer science. Imagine that!

I'm imagining this as me walking through a mall and you handing out free pieces of chicken and I in my misfortune decided to take you up on your offer and took that free piece of chicken. I have now been waylaid for 15 minutes by your shenanigans because you refuse to accept that I did not like the chicken that was a given freely to me. Am I not entitled to my own opinions?. I'm being rude because you won't take a simple no for an answer. You have reached out to me over five different DMS about this subject when I made it clear to you initially that I did not care to further continue this conversation.

Then apparently I'm assuming because I'm too lazy to actually check the mod log. You removed my comment where I screenshotted your first DM to me because I guess you realized how stupid it looked

Oh, I was happy to restore your image of my dm so anyone can see what made you so annoyed. It's back up. :)

OR it can be like me handing out chicken in the mall, you not liking it, and me asking, hey why didn't you like it? Is there something I missed or something wrong with it? Which is not that unusual. You've never ever been asked why you didn't like something?!

And no, I deleted the dm shot because all you did was show an image of me asking you why you downvoted the article. We've already established that I wondered why you didn't like the article.

I thought maybe there was something scientific in it that was wrong and was interested in your thoughts. But your only thoughts were that it's a fluff piece.

So you answered, gave your opinion, and now we're done.
