As of yesterday, I’ve started deleting comments from this weblog if they seem to me to be completely off-topic or make no sense. By the end of last year, the comment section here had begun to turn into something I couldn’t stand to read and didn’t want to be associated with. This was not a tolerable situation.
Please only post comments if you have something interesting to say related to the topic of the posting. If you want to share your thoughts with the world about the biological basis of homosexuality, quantum computing, etc., etc., please do it somewhere else than in the comment section of a posting about the issue of the predictivity of current formulations of string theory.
This has already wasted far more of my time than I would like. I don’t want to moderate or in any way be involved in a public discussion of this, so the comment section for this particular posting is closed. If you absolutely feel you must discuss this issue with me, send me e-mail, although unless there is a very good reason, I’m unlikely to take the time to write back in response. People with on-topic comments are encouraged to continue to contribute them to earlier postings and to any future ones.
