[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] Maybe but I don't see that in many places. Matter of fact, most people using "the base" have been using it correctly and have achieved success. The actual quotations are in quote marks, and the summaries are in bold. Everything is pretty clear. Sometimes heedless copying and pasting fails to differentiate between these things, but most of the data is clearly out front for all to see. People need to be more careful in copying and pasting, and in applying arguments using the data. Some are simply doing "blind" copy and paste in various debates without understanding the context of or qualifications involved in the data at hand. They don't take the time to qualify their arguments and keep them within the scope of the data. Some for example want to use Keita's cranial studies to make sweeping claims that he never made. This sloppy approach often runs into problems though some have had partial success even with these weaknesses. On Reloaded 2 years ago I urged certain posters to exercise care and not go beyond the data- such as sweeping claims of mass movement from the Nile Valley to populate West Africa circa fall of the Dynasties. I told them such vast claims were untenable and to scale them down to more defensible proportions. Unfortunately there are still a number of "enthusiasts" who mean well, but may go overboard. I would hope they get better as time goes on and they et more exposure to the various dimensions. But, another factor at play is various bogus troll gambits, that DELIBERATELY mix narrative summary with actual quote, in desperate attempts to divert attention when they are being defeated or debunked. Its a common ploy. Unable to deal with the data that debunks them left and right, they go into deception and distortion mode. For example they will claim' that the database says ALL of Egypt is in the tropical zone- when in fact the data shows that PART of Egypt is in that zone, and no item of data, or narrative summary ever claimed anything different. Don't be fooled by diversionary and deceptive "use" of the data- like FBI informants and plants in the 1960s who acted as if they were "down with the people." The citations are given in full, with quote marks clearly in place- and the narrative summaries are usually obvious. Exercise proper care in their use, and verify items with original articles and books if their is any doubt and there will be few problems. I have not seen fighters like Morpheus, Slugger, Big Mike, TPatrol, TooTallJones, and other regulars under different monikers have much problem. They know how to apply things. If anything their opponents typically RUN AWAY from the brutal hammering they usually get with the weight of data is applied correctly. Or when losing they deceptively get administrator "help" to quash or exclude the multiple hammer blows coming at them. I can see what you say happening if proper care is not taken. [/QB][/QUOTE]
