What's a thermite bomb?

[wildbilln864]

Man that thermit is some bad ass shit!

oops! forgot to ad link. :hi:

[wildbilln864]

1. Hmmm!? Impact sensitive thermite?

Copper oxide and aluminum are combined to produce an impact sensitive mixture which detonates upon impact.

and can't leave this one out can we.

2. That's a great question

Oddly the video does not show a bomb.

[wildbilln864]

4. agreed!

Can't really say that's a bomb myself but the poster did. :shrug:

5. So what was the point of your OP then? n/t

[wildbilln864]

6. Figure it out.

Or don't. :shrug:

13. Common ploy of the ignorant & illiterate...

You have nothing intelligent or relevant to say about the content of a post so you try to use personal attacks against the poster...

[Realityhack]

14. Bill is often asked what he means and refuses to answer.

That is NOT a way to have an intelligent discussion about something.

[Ghost in the Machine]

15. What part of "What is a thermite bomb?" didn't you understand?

Maybe the question can be dumbed down a little more for you. You *do* realize it was a question... right??

[Realityhack]

16. That is the title of the post.. which is just a link to a video...

which Bill admits is NOT a thermite bomb.

Basically the question is out of context / has a very strange context.

It is unclear if Bill wanted to know something about the video or about the term. He admits it is just a label someone through onto the vid.

And this is FAR from the only time Bill has posted a link to a youtube video with a cryptic (at best) title and refused to explain what he was trying to get at. This is a consistent pattern with Bill of making people guess at what the post is about/pointing out/etc.

17. See, the problem is this: you focus on the poster, not the post's content..

It's not a good debate tactic.. try working on that, ok?

19. Thanks for introducing yourself.. now that the pleasantries are aside

what is it that makes you a hypocrite? Could you expand on that a little bit?

[William Seger]

20. "Common ploy of the ignorant & illiterate..."

... and second graders. Hypocrite.

[Ghost in the Machine]

21. You *do* realize that pointing out what someone is doing isn't the same

as actually doing what they are doing, right?

Right???

[William Seger]

22. What I realize...

... is that you frequently attack posters you don't like, apparently without paying much attention to the content of the thread. (E.g. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=125&topic_id=219508&mesg_id=219645 )

In this case, you replied, "See, the problem is this: you focus on the poster, not the post's content.." This, in a thread where some effort was devoted to trying to get wildbill to explain what the hell his post's "content" was, and his only reply "Figure it out."

You *do* realize that pointing out what someone is doing isn't the same as actually doing what they are doing, right?

Right???

Hypocrite.

[wildbilln864]

23. "... is that you frequently attack posters you don't like"

so you think frequently means one time!? Really?
You show only one example and it doesn't show what you say. :crazy:

[William Seger]

24. To be clearer...

... I should have probably said that I don't see you posting much else except attacks posters you don't like with personal insults. And then, ironically, "lack of substance" is one of your favorite taunts.

Hypocrite.

[Ghost in the Machine]

25. Wow, the depth of your ignorance is astounding... seriously...

"This, in a thread where some effort was devoted to trying to get wildbill to explain what the hell his post's "content" was, and his only reply "Figure it out."

The content of his post was a question asking "What's a thermite bomb?" with a link to a youtube video. A link without any text explaining what the content is about usually means that the poster is looking for the opinion of others without biasing that opinion with his own opinion.


As for the link you posted to a reply of mine, if you hadn't figured it out, it was (again) pointing out something that someone (you) asked, which focused on the CONTENT of a post, NOT the POSTER. Therefore the question "Are you blind... or just stupid?" was appropriate and very fitting. Maybe I should ask you again, given your replies here?

You're not very good at trying to derail a thread, or spin horseshit into gold, so maybe you should just give it up now, instead of making yourself look any goofier...

[William Seger]

26. Keep digging...

... I'm sure you'll get out of this hole eventually.

The thread I linked to was one where you actually agreed with what I was saying (stabbing poor victimized SLaD in the back), simply because you hadn't read it carefully and/or simply didn't understand the point I was raising with SLaD. Nonetheless, you amusingly asked me if *I* was blind or stupid! Amazingly, when that fact was pointed out to you, you said "I'll go with stupid for you," then completely reversed what you had said in the previous post (trying to remove the knife from poor victimized SLaD's back), and apparently hoped nobody would notice anything except your cheap insults. Who the fuck do you think you're kidding, slick? SLaD, maybe.

In this thread, wildbill posted a link to a video titled "What's a thermite bomb?" LARED answered, "That's a great question. Oddly the video does not show a bomb." Wildbill says, "agreed!" Realityhack then asked what I thought was an appropriate question of wildbill, "So what was the point of your OP then?" Wildbill's response is, "Figure it out. Or don't." RH then points out that this is not an untypical wildbill thread, and I'd have to agree.

But ignoring all that, you decide to leap to wildbill's defense with some nonsense about "content," a point so ridiculous in this context that you yourself apparently thought it needed some help from personal insults: "Common ploy of the ignorant & illiterate... You have nothing intelligent or relevant to say about the content of a post so you try to use personal attacks against the poster..."

I then pointed out your obvious hypocrisy. But you couldn't just let it go at that, so I also pointed out that you seldom contribute anything here except cheap insults against certain people. You seem to have a Don Quixote complex, but now you're suggesting that I should "give it up now, instead of making {myself} look any goofier...?"

Put down the bong, man.

27. Do you charge for the clown show you're putting on?

Sorry, but that's the only response your post merits. You've twisted the truth like a clown twists balloons into animal shapes. Your attempts at derailing aren't working, yet you keep plugging along like 'the little engine that could'. The only problem is that your train is on a small track in a kiddie park somewhere... it's not going anywhere, just running in circles...

I'll keep my bong, thank you... but you can feel free to walk away from the koolaid dispenser at any time...

[William Seger]

28. Have another hit, Don

Sorry, but that's the only response your post merits.

Hypocrite.

[Ghost in the Machine]

29. Sure thing, Karl! Back away from the koolaid..

Dude, you're one dimensional and transparent as hell. Let's try to fill you in on something with a little clue here: You're *not* fooling anybody.

You've got some kind of nerve to say "you seldom contribute anything here except cheap insults against certain people." when you wouldn't know my posting habits if they bit you on the ass and called you Nancy. How would you know *what* I contribute when you've never even left the dungeon?? A quick search of *your* contributions reveals that in the past 13 months, you haven't posted in ANY of the other major forums here. None. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Your whole purpose here is to dwell in this dungeon and try to quash or derail any conversation that you don't agree with. What's your agenda, William Seger? You're a one trick pony in a show that should have gone offstage 2 years ago.

Try learning a new trick, dude.

[William Seger]

30. LOL, maybe you can collaborate with HamdenRice

He's compiling a dossier on the posting habits of people who disagree with him, and making insinuations about their motives. That seems to make him feel better about getting beat up on the facts-n-logic side of things. Maybe it'll work for you, too. The bong doesn't seem to be helping, so maybe self-medication isn't the answer.

But you're right; this is the only DU forum I participate in these days. That's simply because I have a lot more fun stirring the shit on boards where lots of "conservatives" hang out. I would suggest you try it, but I'm not sure you could handle the heat in that kitchen.

[wildbilln864]

12. to familiarize readers wth thermit.

here's another thermit video. :hi:

[Realityhack]

3. It would be incorrect to call that a bomb. n/t

[William Seger]

8. Forget it. Termite bombs are not effective
