We're talking about the future of human society in particular, not of the universe in general.

Oh, sorry. I'll re-phrase:

I predict that human society will be long gone before the heat death of the universe.

The thread has become rather heated, so let's all take a breath and calm the discussion down please.

This is an improper speed bump. Just saying.

That's not a prediction Boru, that's you trying to be funny. I've got no problem with it, but I would really like to get a serious opinion from you if you have one.

Sorry, can't help you. Ta for asking, though.

Because it's an overreach. Heated discussions are part and parcel of what we do here. It doesn't seem to be the part of mods to step in where no rules are being broken.

I think the timing was off, not that you're to blame for it.

Actually, Brian, I reported some posts for excessive, incessant and one-sided rudeness/flaming. That might be it.

Oh, sorry.  Didn't know you were having a whinge.  I drop my objection to the speedbump, then.
