Biologists should like each other.
Hercules, you seem easily upset if you think something like
is "condescending tripe".
Vkothii has said and done a lot of things to anger us. His attitude on any biology thread is to question the semantics being used, then claim a state of all-knowing in which we must answer his questions to later be told that we are wrong and provided with his "correct" answer. This is a classic setup done by those that want to feel important by controlling arguments and dictating what they believe to be true. Me, Hercules Rockefeller and others here have pointed this out to Vkothii (although Hercules Rockefeller has done so in the most virile manner) and Vkothii simply insults us back or screams for the moderator. We would rather like a more peer-to-peer causal relationship here, we don't want anyone playing professor and we must be his tarts, most of us get enough of that in real life be it from our PIs or higher ups in academic or industrial research (there not top to the peking order!). I could be wrong though: last time I fought a know-it-all here it cost me my moderatorship, but that was 4 years ago and now I'm a graduate student, NOW I'M THE KNOW IT ALL! HAHAHAHA, just kinding, I know nothing.
