I like letting people battle it out, but I don't believe the truth will rise to the top eventually.

Haven't societies that allow the free exchange of ideas out-competed societies that censor speech?

The truth may have a better chance of rising to the top in a free environment, but I don't think it is guaranteed to do so.

It has absolutely nothing to do with silencing a "fringe idea," and everything to do with him being unable to resist posting about hijacking every thread he reads to make into about Peak Oil, even if that thread has absolutely nothing to do with Peak Oil, because in his mind every single thing in the world has to do with Peak Oil. He could work Peak Oil into a Pot-Limit Omaha forum. Did you know a recent auction of mineral rights shows interest on the rise in Nebraska for oil drilling, even though actual drilling and production remain flat?

I use Peak antifreeze, but use WalMart oil. Should I switch to Peak oil, or WalMart antifreeze?

Everyone that voluntarily posts in any politics forum should be quarantined in those forums and not allowed to post anywhere else.

Does this also mean we are now post peak Jiggs?

Will we one day look back at the glory boom days of cheap and plentiful **** posting from our isolated, repetitive and expensive mainstream content?

I for one am deeply concerned.

I need closure.

Maybe if he accepts Peak Earl as an undertitle?

Like I said: In the 25% or so of threads where it's absolutely relevant, I bring it up. It's not remotely close to 100% of threads I contribute in, so stop being over-dramatic and wholly dishonest.

Mexico's slow descent into chaos is a result of being past peak production. Sorry, not sorry. Because, it's well documented.

.

Even if it's tangentially relevant, you realize no one wants to read that crap in every thread? If you want to post in Politics Alta again you are doing a piss poor job presenting your case. Just agree to keep peak oil in the peak oil thread, how hard can it be?

Whoa, ban 74o for that Politics Alta bull****.

Nevermind that it's NOT in every thread. But do keep maintaining the myth. And, by all means, keep burying your head in the sand.

The 3:1 ratio of support in this thread suggests otherwise.

You mean like staying in the back of the bus? LOL...

JIIIIIGGGGGGSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

This thread is going to be closed soon so I'm going to post this.

Omar I read an article that the author felt the days of oil were numbered. That we will have too many sources of cheep energy, and we just won't need it anymore.

I'm pretty sure you can work "peak oil" into threads outside of P/PU, like this one or this one.

Jiggs only cites peak oil when its relevant. Like when it caused the government to LIHOP on 9/11. Or caused the financial crisis. Or caused Mexico to collapse despite no evidence of collapse. Or caused Detroit to collapse despite the fact that trainwreck was set in motion decades ago. Or caused unrest in Egypt. Or when a fire starts in lower Manhattan.

Last night I made my weekly trip south across the border to fill up - paid $2.99 a gallon in expensive NW US. When we drove to Florida and back 2 years ago, I don't think we got below $3/gallon even when we got down into TX, LA, etc.

LOL peak oil.

PEAK OIL!!!!

Did you actually take my "tip" as me suggesting exactly how often you do or don't bring up peak oil? Did I actually need to say something like:

"but let me give you a tip - just because you can find a tie between a topic and the subject of a thread doesn't mean you need to post about the topic in 23.764% of threads where you can find such a tie."

I thought my point was pretty obvious, and there was nothing "wholly dishonest" about it. Like I said, I had never read a peak oil post from you before reading this thread - I have no idea how often you do it. But the fact that you defended that thread derail and still won't back down from that position is pretty telling.

BTW, I love that you managed to get in a link (that I didn't read) to some article about peak oil in your reply to me. Miss the point much?

FYP

Maybe we could have a Peak Oil Playground forum.

again, short term supply sprint says absolutely nothing about the capacity to finish the marathon... the price has dipped many times since the financial crash of 2008, and always goes right back up. ...

Conditions this month have nothing to do with short-mid-term production promise. Nothing. You will learn this when the U.S. shale bubble bursts in the next 2-3 years.

it is telling that none of you arguing the echo chamber position here have the temerity to bring it to the unchained thread ... including the troll who called me out in the econ forum, but has yet to show up.
