• Fred Bloggs

    From Cursitor Doom@21:1/5 to All on Sun Dec 29 13:36:35 2024
    I've noticed our resident omniphobe and climate catastrophist, Fred
    Bloggs, has been absent of late (which is most unusual for him). Did he
    finally succumb to anoxia due to greenhouse gases? Did the blood in his
    veins boil due to an increase in global temperatures? Anyone heard
    anything from him?

    An eventual rise in average global temperature by three degrees Celcius
    isn't going to boil anybody's blood, and rising CO2 levels aren't going
    to give anybody anoxia. The atmospheric oxygen content is about 21%, and
    as we convert more of it to CO2 it is going down (and has been measured
    as having gone down a bit, but by less than you get by going from meteorological high to a low).

    He's more likely to have succumbed to Covid-19 (which is still killing
    people, but not the numbers we lost during the pandemic), and even more
    likely to have decided that that this user group is a waste of
    bandwidth. Your contributions certainly are - but they are execrable
    enough to be worth jeering at.

    Didn’t he leave when google groups dropped us?

    Well done, Bill. That thesaurus you've obviously invested in is serving
    you well in expanding your limited insult vocabulary.
    So the Covid shot felled poor old Fred, then. Lord knows there were enough warnings against taking it from the internet cognoscenti but he presumably trusted CNN more and paid the ultimate price for his misplaced faith in
    the legacy media. He will be missed.
    :(

    Mon cher Piglet, much as I'd like to believe that, I fear we must simply
    accept Bill's view as being definitive this time. Even a busted clock is
    right twice a day.

    Well done, Bill. That thesaurus you've obviously invested in is serving
    you well in expanding your limited insult vocabulary.

    I'm sure there's an English-language thesaurus somewhere around the
    house - I can see a Dutch one from here (Synoniemen Wordenboek) - but I
    don't need to use one to provided descriptive terms for your inanities.

    So the Covid shot felled poor old Fred, then. Lord knows there were enough warnings against taking it from the internet cognoscenti but he presumably trusted CNN more and paid the ultimate price for his misplaced faith in
    the legacy media. He will be missed.

    Covid-19 inoculations killed perhaps one in 500,000 of the people who
    got them. Your chance that Covid-19 would kill you even after you got
    the inoculation was higher, but still way lower than the chance that
    Covid-19 would kill you if you caught it, if you had avoided
    inoculation, which is still a pretty effective - if less than perfect -
    way of avoiding infection. As you get older your immune system get progressively less effective, and so do inoculations.

    Fred is highly unlikely to have died of Covid-19, but it is a feasible explanation of why he gave up posting. > :(

    My comment merely offered a couple of possible explanations for his
    absence. You seem to have stopped reading after the first line, as you frequently do.

    Very likely.
    The last messages from Fred Bloggs on my computer were 4 messages on
    Feb 21, 2024. Google stopped accepting new Usenet postings on Feb 22,
    2024.
