I d think that the OP sahould have to apologize atall because what would you rather have someone who htinks they know about a pending disaster and doesnt say anything about it and many people are hurt, injured or even killed or someone who went out on a limb and was wrong
i know which one id rather have
and personally i think you should have to apologize if anyone does because of your last post

Excellent! I thank you for the education. I lived in the New Madrid area for about 23 years, never once felt a tremor. But I always knew it could happen, I just never knew when. I still think it is overdue, based on past history. But, as you say, probably not right away. Good day to you, sir.

I think you should apologise for coming across like a complete parochial fool yourself. Allow me to elaborate dear child...
You, YOU, are within a small number 'sane', 'rational' of people contributing to this thread??? You have the audacity to make such a claim yet you have done nothing but victimise the OP as 'easy meat'. It's text book school-yard tactics chum and I think you're in no position to speak on behalf of any 'sane' or 'rational' persons on this thread other than yourself.
Fact is, I also happen to acknowledge 'YOUR' side of the argument, and furthermore, I appreciate why you have YOUR views, but you've given nothing solid other than the fact that you clearly dislike prediction threads and concentrate largely on ridiculing those who 'stand for those beliefs'. See above, it's not pretty at all.
Personally, I'm neither FOR or AGAINST this issue, as the OP fully acknowledges, however, what I do stand for, is the very principle of the thread. The OP deserves better responses that those composed by yourself. Accept it for what it is.
You know what, I think YOU should apologise for coming across like a complete ASS while berating someone else for it. He May not have "contributed" (I say good for him) but you are not better than anyone else "dear child", so stop pretending to be. I can almost hear your little snide chuckle as you wrote that.
And then apologize for furthering these ideas. You and everyone else who helps perpetuate this CRAP.
Allow me to elaborate dear child...
It is people like you that allow the OP to post absolute CRAP over and over again, each time when nothing happens within their "prediction" window, they continue to move it out farther and farther and twist the meaning and results until they find something to fit.
People like YOU allow this to happen.
You prod these pretenders on, give them enchoragement, tell them it's all ok to have an "opinion", good show for all the effort, you're so impressed.... there doing good after all.. hurting no one.
Right?
NOT RIGHT!
They ARE hurting people, they frighten people, stress people out with their circumsantial "evidence" and supernatural BS. People get SCARED. They can do desperate things, cause personal turmoil, change their lives and the lives of others.
You think saying *****WARNING EARTHQUAKE COMING**** isn't the same as shouting "FIRE" in a theater? Think again.
Apologists like YOU are just as bad as people like the OP.
Perhaps we could put a thread together of the number of predictions ever made on ATS that came true..
Yea.. thats what I thought, we couldn't, it wouldn't contain anything.
So do us all a favor, the next time you want to berate someone on content or attitude, take a good look in the mirror.
*************************************************
As for the OP.
It's been 10 days, your time is UP. I am waiting for your apology thread that you promised.

So when people refer to it, do not use prophecy - use prediction.
Originally posted by questioningallThis prediction did not come out of "thin air" either - it came from a proven computer program
From the webbotAs usual, hopefully this will be all wrong - an artifact of a defect piece of code in one of the 200+ small programs that make up the 'web bot project'.

ok everyone needs to shut the hell up with the arguing....
WE STILL HAVE FOUR DAYS LEFT.
if the prediction is wrong its wrong.... if its right its right.....
just wait and see and stop bickering. NO ONE HERE IS FROM WEBBOT
so picking fights with people who #1 arent subscribed to webbot for 180 bucks and #2 dont even know exactly how it works is meaningless.
the next person who has nothing good to add to this thread should be temporarily banned.
This is getting rediculous reading through 2000 character posts on why someone should apologize. GROW UP.
No one needs to apologize its a prediction... PREDICTION MEANS ITS NOT FACT.
you are all arguing as if this is supposed to be a fact.
ANY AND ALL POSTS TO GO AFTER THIS MESSAGE BETTER BE ONE OF THE TWO TYPES I LIST BELOW
#1 SUPPORTING EVIDENCE AND IDEAS WITH LINKS
#2 UNSUPPORTING EVIDENCE AND IDEAS WITH LINKS
if you dont have either to post then save it.
First your logic is seriously flawed, although I agree with you on principle, if someone knows something that would prevent tragedy or help the general public they should definately let everyone know.
But we are not talking about that.. we are talking about a person who has posted three alarmist prediction threads:
1. Only 10 days Left-Until Predicted Huge Earthquakes
2. *Alert System* Tell what weird possible Earthquake Animal, Sky or Water behavior is happening -
3. *Serious Warnings* Alert * Earthquake* Postings* Please Read*
Lately she has been running around her threads saying she isnt predicting anything and just giving us all information.
The titles speak volumes, and the content (some edited on her part) point directly at PREDICTION.
Warning people based on sound solid research is one thing.
Warning people based on an internet clipping service is quite another.
One is reality, the other is BS.
So tell me what I should be aplogizing for?
I am going to call you out on your prediction threads, three recent alarmist headines all about ther same thing.
People commend you for "speaking out" and "informing" us. You can't fool everyone all the time and I am going to hold you to your predictions.
You WILL apologize as your predictions come to pass as you said you would.
Your scaring people who don't know better and causing stress for your own benefit.

Any apology you feel you need, you can find on *Serious Warnings thread - so you can go and read it, as that is the only apology I will issue.
One thing - I am sorry you are so scared and stressed out over my threads, you seem to be only one of a very few. (oh there is my personal apology to you - happy now?) If you are so scared, I would advise maybe going to other threads like:
"N.Y.C. to be destroyed Feb 2009"
"FEMA coffins in Georgia"
Obama is the Anti-Christ
zombie apocalypse could be possible
Those are just a few of many - Yes, you should definitely go to those threads, I am sure they will have a much more rational discourse on future, current events, and predictions, and non fear mongering, than this thread.
Though I have to say - from my observation:
The majority have found the webbot predictions interesting and people have found the "odd behavior thread" very interesting - ( as I surmise that from the majority of the postings), including people who are interested in maybe going further with it - that are in those fields.

No downer to me, friend! I still have friends and family back in the Memphis area. I personally hope ( and believe) there is nothing to this. Me and mine know that Mother Nature can have a nasty attitude on any given day. We don't live in fear because of it. I have slept through hurricanes when I lived on the Gulf Coast, and I have been up close and personal with a tornado. I've never been in an earth quake, but maybe one day. Mother Nature can be real scary, for sure, but overall, she is one awesome, UNPREDICTABLE Lady!
