[MD] What is SOM?

[gav]

hiya dave,
how old are some of these guys? 12,13? certainly 'childish' is an apt adjective.
i think we have a nice juxtaposition going on: the old and new world.
the old world built on competition, represented by krimel, platt et al: these guys think discussion is a contest and the winner is the one that gets the last word in. 
the new world which is being built on cooperation and is represented by your good self, marsha et al: primarily interested in collaboratively reaching new and better intellectual analogues, ie truth.
it seems to me that you have changed somewhat....i still love your rapier wit bro...that hasn't changed...rather you seem unruffled by the poisonous/puerile retorts of others....i would say you seem more amused (and bemused i suppose) than anything.

Krimel said to dmb:
But, but, Dave. Anything proceeding from the mouth of anyone who advocates
science must, by definition be SOM. Isn't science just one big united
monolith with all its proponents marching in lock step? These evil bastards are
either deluded, intentionally trying to deceive others as to their true aims, or
your endless rants are just the fetid blasts of hot air they appear to be. I am
I to conclude that appearances can be deceiving but not always.

dmb says:
Since I have never even implied that scientists are deluded evil bastards and
repeatedly explained that the MOQ's purpose with respect to science is to
expand and improve upon its empirical principles, your childish drivel
doesn't merit an answer.

Man, this is fun!
