Which magnatar are you referring to?

I was referring to one in

I was referring to one in Sagittarius, SGR 1806-20. I believe its blast was the largest recorded other than the sun. Seems like the wave should have made those lasers move a little {:(

In it's own neighborhood, it was considerably brighter than the sun.
My understanding is that the project wasn't in science mode at the time.

keep your breath - you can filter 51166. (forum preferences in your account)
I did already; the ratio of helpful posts to not so helpful ones of this guy is rather low.

They have meaning, and what

They have meaning, and what I'm helping is more than your groundless complaining or others' blind cascading or prattling which is hurting. Only cretins and ignorami ignore, and if you aren't reading this I'll get to you anyway.
keep -> save
guy -> you

Ohhh... excuse me. I think you may have an error or two in your message.

1. You say you are helping something. In fact, your message reads as if you are helping "groundless complaining" or "blind casscading" or .... Doesn't seem to quite make sense to me. Maybe you really meant to say, "...and what I'm helping is the ability of the posters in this thread to improve their rather less than perfect spelling and grammar, which is something that your groundless complaining, etc, etc, etc, isn't doing."

2. Then you postulate that these various forms of complaint (plural) "is hurting". Shouldn't you actually be saying that these various forms of complaint (complaining, cascading. prattling) "are hurting"?? Actually, once your meaning is worked out and understood, it should be "is" because you use "or" rather than "and". You make it hard to decipher your meaning, though.

3. And then again, perhaps the word "hurtful" might have been a better choice than "hurting".

4. And then there's your "correction" where you change "guy" into "you". Your "corrected" sentence now reads, "...not so helpful ones of this you is rather low". ???

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.... Perhaps you had better go back to elementary school and pick up a few pointers on basic sentence construction.

No doubt you see your little crusade as something that is sorely needed to rectify the less than perfect spelling and grammar of the modern generation. Boy are you wasting your time. If you thought about the problem for a few seconds before shooting off your mouth, you would realise that a far better way of making an impact would be to lobby your elected representatives to allocate more funding to the education system and to do something about strengthening the syllabus as far as teaching spelling and grammar is concerned.

By carrying on the way you are at the moment, you are simply succeeding in angering a large number of other readers. In particular, you are angering me because you seem hellbent on dredging up old threads (this one dates back to Feb 27) just to make a couple of totally useless "corrections", without any attempt to contribute in any meaningful way to the science discussion. You are simply wasting my time for no good reason.

Please stop doing that.

Cheers,
Gary.

66 posts in two weeks? My, aren't we hyperactive. But it's high time to stop with your OFFENSIVE and MEANINGLESS (yes, they are) remarks. Your story here is turning into something ugly... and possibly requiring medical attention.
BTW from now on you are the first (and only) in my Ignore List. Aren't you proud?
