    Hmm, the left guy doesn’t even look like Peter Woit ;)

      Although Dirac operator is mentioned before the response, I think the probability is high that this is not Peter ;-)

      Cheers,
      Dmitry.

      P.S. My guess is that the girl is Amanda Peet.

    What a clever and strong girl who correctly maps the ways of talking into the right treatments.

    Inexperienced boys may often believe in pacifism and appeasement but those who know better have already learned that the girl is discussing the aggressive crackpot in the only way that makes any sense and that actually has a chance to lead somewhere.

    I wonder how much time it will take for others to learn the same lesson. Meanwhile, Clifford Johnson is still licking cook Nigel Cook who is flooding Asymptotia.com with some extensive stinky trash.

    Clifford is so happy and thankful that the sh1thead has visited Clifford’s blog! It doesn’t help him, anyway, much like it didn’t help Britain and France that they were sweetly kissing Adolf Hitler.

    Whether someone likes it or not, evil must be faced with fists.

      Oh, you are always so serious :) ))))

      Clifford Johnson is still licking cook

      Let us be gentlemen and agree not to use words like “cook” (it’s not like I am against cooking, but I just don’t like the context :-) ). The culture of human relations in Slavic countries is gone forever (since communists have effectively wiped out all elite/intellectuals), but we both had some experience in the West where intellectuals have managed to survive.

      Whether someone likes it or not, evil must be faced with fists.

      I agree with this, however – since “evil” is not that stupid (as you seem to suggest), it is better to keep fists in the pockets until a right time comes.

      Cheers,
      Dmitry.
