That's rich.

@sda ITs the truth and the accepted science. Original estimates were high, they were estimates, so no contradiction in this fact.

But you'd have to deny some pretty obvious and accepted facts if you dont think its several orders of magnitude worse than the flu.

You are welcome to go flat-earth and disagree with the whole of the scientific community on that, but thats all you.

He is quoting me. for some reason he always does it as a normal post rather than a reply.. probably some attempt to shame me ::shrug::

@freemo

I have seen replies to a topic, posted as a separate one due to controversial or opposing views to the OP, and honestly - I did not mind that. At all.

But a Quote without attribution, like here? Uhmmmm.

@design_RG

I dont care either way if he wants to continue the topic as a new post and only vaguely reference the ideas I posted... hell I dont even mind him quoting me as a new post per se...

::shrug:: he can do what he wants.. I'm more concerned with the conspiracy theory nonsense. He is always posting stuff about how Global Warming is a hoax, COVID is a hoax, and very little if anything of actually valid or insightful science.. He is respectful enough so I dont see it as cause for a moderation issue per se, but it is quite annoying to see on the timeline which is usually filled with excellent scholarly and educated ideas.

"always"

It's almost as if you don't know that words actually have meanings.

The reply thing is unintentional, but you won't have to worry about it anymore. No scientist would ever use "order of magnitude" so cavalierly. It's almost as if you don't know what it means. Will blocking you prevent me from seeing you in notifications? Guess I'll find out.
