>>12846483Yeah that's because colleagues tend to be polite towards other colleagues for obvious reasons. That's exactly what I just said isn't it, that you're getting this off people who you just assume are giving you the full picture.
>mostly things like "his excitement for physics is infectious"yeah I'd call that pretty milquetoast lol
I agree he's a very passionate guy, but he's also an obnoxious cunt. Lubos will get in an argument for literally no reason other than for an opportunity to have people stroke his ego, even when he's wrong and every single person knows he's out of his depth except him. He'll just make shit up for no reason. He'll tell you about some absolute bullshit in a very arrogant way, and he'll continue until it's hammered home that he has no idea what he's on about, and then he'll act like nothing happened and carry on doing the exact same thing.
It's that sort of attitude that made Lubos one of the few idiots who actually praised the Bogdanoffs for their blatant fraud, because his bullshit detector is permanently switched off so as to not leave him verbally paralyzed.
Come to think of it, maybe Lubos should be /sci/'s mascot.
