Accept your defeat, join us, and be honest about who you represent. You may be surprised at how interested we are in listening and having a dialog with you. But if you just want to sit on the mountain and _tell_ us how to think, then you are already dead.

The first vending machine was also one of his constructions, when a coin was introduced via a slot on the top of the machine, a set amount of Holy Water was dispensed. This was included in his list of inventions in his book, "Mechanics and Optics". When the coin was deposited, it fell upon a pan attached to a lever. The lever opened up a valve which let some water flow out. The pan continued to tilt with the weight of the coin until it fell off, at which point a counter-weight would snap the lever back up and turn off the valve.

So, unless we totally agree with everything you say, we're "fekkheads" who should be muzzled so that we don't pollute your sacred stomping ground.

Sorry to have to be the one to tell you, but you can just stay in your bunker and look down your nose all you want, we're going to keep on happily thinking what we think, no matter how manifestly unqualified we may be to do so...

You don't really care what the subject is, you just want to argue, to "shout down" anybody who dares speak, so that you will be able to cover up your own massive insecurity.

I'm going to make it my duty to continue arguing with you in this thread for as long as possible, just to see how far it goes. Buckle up doc, it's about to get rough!

Let's just keep this on the internets, shall we? That's what it's for after all. (Geez, the nerve of some people.)
