I don't like that, I'm talking to Hydra. Last time I smashed Astronut the same occurred, and I had to do the same twice. But I will respond appropriately. I don't think Hydra needs help, but if you insist...
Why is it his way of life?
Why did he run away from academe?
Quoting: Halcyon Dayz, FCD I'm not sure. He have a lot of reasons, I guess. Try to look for this information in his "Thought of the day" subpage, I guess he talk a lot about in an old radio show.
He might actually be breaking the law here.
Quoting: Halcyon Dayz, FCD I don't think so, he don't publishes nor present himself as "Professor", this is the way people call him. He only present himself as James M. McCanney M.S.
In any other country in the world a Professor is anyone who teaches,
Quoting: glauco This is incorrect.
Who told you this lie?
Nobody man, I live in South America, I have my degree and I know what I'm saying. Come here and you will see how many Professors we have. Then take a trip around the world. It is semantics as I said.
McCanney is an American.
Pretending to be a professor.
He isn't.
Quoting: Halcyon Dayz,FCD He don't pretend, this is the way people call him. Go see his publications, apparitions and meetings he go and you will see him presenting himself as James M. McCanney M.S.
So, as McCanney have an world-wide audience and he teaches to them, there is no problem on calling him "Professor McCanney", do you understand what I mean?
Quoting: glauco Yes.
You are supporting a deceptive lie.
Bla bla bla. Go call the cops.
The ONLY reason McCanney lies about his credentials is to inflate his 'authority'.
Quoting: Halcyon Dayz,FCD As I said, he don't present himself as Professor.
He's pulling the "believe me, I'm scientist" trick.
In science, REAL science, assertions are assessed on the merit of the EVIDENCE.
Quoting: Halcyon Dayz,FCD A scientist do researches and publish papers. And needs a degree. That's what he does.
If Stephen Hawking had written these books people would have called him a crank to his face.
Quoting: Halcyon Dayz,FCD Why? Isn't Hawking a theorist physicist?
But none of these papers are relevant to his woo claims.
Quoting: Hydra Yes, it is. All these papers talks about electricity in outer space, if you read the title and the Abstracts.
This guy puts his woo in self-published books.
He doesn't even try to get them peer-reviewed.
Quoting: Hydra Books don't needs peer-review.
McCanney is not a scientist.
Scientists do science.
Quoting: Hydra Scientists do researches and publish papers. That's what he does and I prove it from official sources.
Nope.
McCanney can prove his credibility by getting his 'theories' peer-reviewed.
Then people will start to take him serious.
Quoting: Hydra His first papers in Cornell were peer-reviewed. Not sure about other ones published out of Cornell by American Geophysical Union, but I guess so.
Currently he's indistinguishable from the hundreds of other woo-peddlers.
Quoting: Hydra Sorry, I don't understand slangs very well. Avoid it for non-english speakers, please.
Sure, proselytise your religion of electrickery to the sheeple, McCanney fanboi.
There are plenty of those here.
Religious people is exactly what I said about NASA and other official space sciences. Is peer-reviewed, but never includes the real scientific method defined by Karl Popper.
Man, I'm so good. Where is the smart guys in this forum? I only see quacks.
