    I don't care how important you think you are or how self-righteously indignant you feel, if you want me to pay attention to you and address your criticisms, you will need to approach me politely and make them in terms that are reasonable, informed, relevant and coherent.

        OK, we all know that isn't strictly true and that I will frequently engage with a slathering loon who has trouble stringing a sentence together while you all yell at me. But, in principle, I reserve the right not to engage rude or unreasonable people.

        That runs counter to the usual enraged incoherent gibberish that you get. Sometimes I look at the word soup and wonder whether you're the victim of irate bots.

        I often think someone has combined the Chomskybot and AI, and the result has acquired sentience of a sort.

        Artificial unintelligence - the final frontier! I'm still struggling with getting people to answer how the heck they're going to program a quantum computer without using the normal Boolean logic gates - I am not emotionally equipped for the computer to manufacture consent ;-)

        "if you want me to pay attention to you" quite reasonable. Twitter can be shouting matches, or enlightening, supportive, thought provoking. No one gets to demand responses from you. Defining ideas, is separate from civil respect for people Nice to be able to follow you here. .

        Ah, thanks for the clarification. A question I have been pondering since recently reading an article of yours is how does a ‘female brain’ run a male body? Thanks.

        It can't. The female brain lacks the scrotabellum which is vital to male behavior.

        You can permanently ignore your Twitter account if you insist on that unrealistically high standard. More time for Areo, tea, walking - & tea while walking? Are 'designer straws' a thing?pic.twitter.com/RXCEJbl2MH

        But if “reasonable” and “coherent” is ever defined as closer to “emotionless” and “passionless” we may start to have a problem
