Today, I tracked over one hundred attempts of abuse on ANN. I've been working on the filters and editing mechanisms for over four hours. Maintaining ANN is turning into real work, and all I see are tasks that I despise. This one individual, and the general attitude on ANN lately, is alienating visitors and making this site a horrible place to be. Most of what I see is insults and blind advocacy... I'm tired... And I can just see the negative comments again, in reply to me posting this...

Dude, I don't know what kind of drugs you are on or where you are getting your
information, but people have been keeping time as best as anyone knows for
5000 to 6000 years! The ancient Chinese had incense clocks where the incence
would burn weighted strings at a specific interval, the ancients had sundials
and many other types of timekeeping devices including water clocks, etc. All
these were very common in ancient times.
Perhaps you should lay off the dope, stop spouting your foolish nonsense
and visit this link: http://physics.nist.gov/GenInt/Time/early.html
Here you find that people have been keeping time for thousands of years,
contrary to the utter nonsense that you have posted here. If you got this information
from another human, and it isn't something that came to you in a drug induced
stupor, you should kick the living shit out of them! :0 Everything you have
posted here and I mean everything is utter nonsense and an embarrasment!
All I'm saying is get a grip before you hurt yourself!!! |
