Stupid
19th November 2008, 01:02 AM
...Or should I say, 'has anybody "wasted" their time in a no-planer forum ?'....because the more you confront them with reasonable explanations, the more they dig their heels into their unreasonable theories.
The most evident problem they have, is the extent that the no-planers will argue between themselves, how other no-planers's theories are stupid, or how no-planer "X" must be a shill or perp. (giggles at the melee)
I have posted and argued with these people. And I don't really know why...because I DO have better things to do.
Probably all these reasons are true, to different degrees......
-- "Know-it-all's", who don't know what they claim-to-know, annoy me.
-- I hate...angst-for-angst-sake......a feeling I get from many of them.
-- It's better than b-slapping them in person.
-- I feel I may add a tiny bit of doubt into their heads. I don't presume to be able to change them, but I can try to help them look at themselves.
-- I'm old and ornery.
It may cause the reverse effect, that I become "the enemy", and give them their opportunity to exercise their rebelliousness.
I do believe I just got shut-out of the "911 movement. org" (no-planer) forum. I can log-in, but not post. No reason given for the block, I was polite all the way through. (Perhaps that is why no reason was given, I did not break any forum rules.)
Here is my last few posts....I'm Freq Band. (please excuse my terminology (e,g,mass), it may not be accurate, but the gist is there...)

And I debunked ozzybinozwald's "repeating smoke video" accusation...

Repeating Smoke
Yes I see it.
Smoke is clearly repeating in the DK video.
But I have a reasonable explanation.......
Aspect ratio.
Years ago, most everything was shot, or meant to be broadcast, in a 4:3 ratio...the near-square size of your old analog TV.
Today, the typical flat wide-screen TV is a 16:9 ratio.
So what do you do, if you have older footage in 4:3, but want to fill the 16:9 wider screen ?
Option 1) Don't stretch anything, and put black areas on the sides, called "Pillarboxing".
Option 2)...You could stretch the entire image, but that looks fake, and not all that pleasing to the eye...everything looks short and fat.
Option 3) Duplicate and repeat the edges, creating a full 16:9 screen. The problem is this doesn't always look good either, but does work fine for certain images such as landscapes.
(Note: these days, there are more complicated algorithms used to stretch the edges, but in 2004, duplicating the edges was "high tech".)
Ozzy is referring to an edited video that is only edited for the express purpose of filling a 16:9 aspect ratio screen....it is not edited to "fool" or "trick" or otherwise change the "story" of what is being conveyed.
If you look closely to the OTHER side/edge....you see the same duplication.
If you look at the original Detroit shot, you can see the very-most left edge, is EXACTLY where the duplication begins. How strange.
Debunked.
