For him to make anyone look bad, he'd have to:

• Stop intentionally, or carelessly, misrepresenting the facts nearly all the time
• Refer to actual points much more often, instead of the norm, which is to attack straw men and introduce red herrings
• Admit when he's wrong, which is very often
• Stop demonizing people for merely disagreeing

None of that seems likely.

Odd. You think that me saying the same things that I say very, very often -- weekly, at least, for many years -- is ... rare.

You know that's self-refuting, right?

Shrug. Since I didn't read the comments in question, I am feeling no pain. But I suspect if I had, I also wouldn't.

The fact that he resorts to lies in the first sentence of each comment implies otherwise.

You're lying. I did no such thing.

Speaking of Tibetan singing bowls and doorsteps if your doorstep is in the USA maybe not. But if Tibet is near your doorstep maybe...

Not saying it's a good idea. Just pointing out that drones may be dropping packages off sooner than you think, depending on where your doorstep is.
quote from the last link:

Really? Citation please. Why is there this observer phenomenon that I experience?

Or maybe you're someone who doesn't experience it and hence don't know what I'm talking about.

Was this the guy who was then billed by the hospital for all of these tests?

I find it funny people can have so much faith and certainty there's no God and use simple trite logic to prove it when the same simple trite logic proves that our universe is stranger than most think.

For example, scientists can't even explain one of the first observations each and every one of them makes - consciousness - self awareness in the way we experience it. By the same logic of Russell's teapot and Occam's razor wouldn't the "consciousness" phenomenon not exist, other than we personally observing it? Couldn't you in theory have a machine or a human being that behaved exactly as if it was self aware, but didn't experience what we experience? If not, why not? Prove it. Or conclusively prove that other people do or do not experience this consciousness you do. In short, explain your invisible little friend that is yourself and why others do or do not have their own little friends that is themselves.

I have no proof that others experience this consciousness, I have faith that they do because I experience it myself and don't believe that I am so special. But I find no way to prove it conclusively.

In line with the weirdness of our universe perhaps there both is and is not a God. Just like we've shown that stuff can be in a superposition. And each of us is also in a superposition, and what happens in the end for each of us depends on whether we interfere constructively or destructively.

Slashdot, a 'professional environment'? As if we needed more proof that you're a fucking lunatic...

You clearly don't view as much porn as I do.

I didn't pick one comment: I read only the first one, and then gave up when you lied about what I wrote. And you're doing it again, so again, I won't continue reading.

I didn't say there was. I said the restrictions are arbitrary. I was explicit.

I can't bother to read past your first idiotic comment.

False. It is removing arbitrary restrictions on business. This is about the free market.

Irrelevant. Not my problem. We are freeing the market. Adapt or die.

Anything you say next is false. I am forcing nothing. Neither is the government. If they are forced to do anything, it is by free market forces.

Everyone, except for those relying on government to protect their interests against the reasonable interests of others, and I have no sympathy for such people.

I didn't go off-topic at all.

So? I wonder why you think you're making a point.

I do not recognize the "right" of any government to ban the sale of a legal product or service.

Even if that is true -- it's not -- it's irrelevant.

This is not a huge issue for me: while it is absolutely clear that laws restricting the sale of legal goods and services are stupid and harmful, it would have far less of an impact on freeing of the health market than much more sensible and broad legislation: to remove the business subsidies for health insurance, and replace it with an individual income tax credit, which will necessarily have the effect of driving down -- massively -- the cost of care and insurance.

Show me an undetectable piece of firearm ammunition and I'll start to worry. A 3D plastic gun is useless if you can't get ammunition in to the building as well.

In many areas, yes. I hope you don't think you're arguing against me in some way.

So what? Seriously. If a small business can't handle the free market, then it should go away. That's not a bad thing, it's a good thing, and the worst of all worlds is a government that keeps burdensome or expensive regulations around just to make sure businesses that rely on those regulations don't suffer.
