User talk:Rahmat Muhammad
Welcome!
Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. You'll probably want to know how to get started as an author. Just look at CZ:Getting Started for other helpful "startup" links, and CZ:Home for the top menu of community pages. Be sure to stay abreast of events via the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list (do join!) and the blog. Please also join the workgroup mailing list(s) that concern your particular interests. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forums is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any constable for help, too. Me, for instance! Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and have fun! Stephen Ewen 19:15, 25 December 2007 (CST)

Hi Rahmat,
I have been laughing over this for the last few minutes. I was about to drop you a line myself. When you want to save and someone has changed that text while you write, you get a conflict message. I have been backing out of the article and just doing it all at once. Funny!
Keep going. I have had to transfer much of what I have done from the article on Cosmology since this section was getting too big and I keep pulling stuff out of the aether.
The overall contributions of this guy are staggering. That is complicated by the fact that we really aren't sure how much we got from him and how much has been added. --Thomas Simmons 22:03, 28 December 2007 (CST)

Stirring
"However, religion is the Cliff's Notes version of ancient philosophy and we all know that Cliff's Notes produces not only incomplete summaries but also superficial interpretation."
LOL You will draw fire with that one *vo --if anyone takes you seriously. Had any response to this? --Thomas Simmons 22:15, 28 December 2007 (CST)
Will be out of the house for a few yours. Going to go watch Nicholas Gage save the world, again. By the way it is nice and sunny here on the Kapiti Coast, flowers in bloom etc. Might go to the beach--I live just across from Kapiti Island where Peter Jackson shot scenes for King Kong. What is the weather like in New England?--Thomas Simmons 22:19, 28 December 2007 (CST)
Expected responses
"The response that I expected...something along the lines of "you're going to hell", etc. etc. I don't think most people got what I was trying to say in that article."
"Hoist on thine own pittard knave." You missed me entirely. You neuroscience folks need to do some time in applied linguistics--context is everything.
Cast they nets to both sides of the boat and avoid being a pitcher of warm spit: You addressed a huge audience and you took a stand. Falsifiable too. You were looking for a fight. Anyway, well done. There is meat there even if it is easily digested.
If you are going to be understood, be clear and write more words. We can always use more words. Bet they gave you a limit. Bastards. Think everything can be done in a 500 word essay.
"Weather in New England cold (though not freezing)."
Well, it is New England.
"Enjoy the movie!"
I did. We now know what happened to the Olmec civilisation and Mssr. Gage's marriage is on a firmer footing and two rather crusty old actors, Mirren and Voight, just might live happily ever after.--Thomas Simmons 01:37, 29 December 2007 (CST)
