AWESOME! I might get it later!

It's the Internet TK, I'm reading what you said. Couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic or not. 

Awesome! (Most of them are LEGO Dino repaints, but still coo)

@mr.h, how? I was joking.

@ kom, just end it please.

@ SR, chilly where I am but it is normally like 85 degrees.

@ carno, stop will go through hell with a smile.

Cool! I wouldn't mind seeing these as JW figures!

I don't think Spino could bend at those angles to turn around and attack while being held on to

That..... was a bit ignorant TK. 

i posted what i knew kom, don't take it the wrong way. about calling you a moron, you bet your ass i did, don't bring your nationality/native language into debate. it has no meaning, & using it against me was childish. please show me where i've been biased here, don't say “because you think there's 11 ton spinosaurus'” because that by no means is bias. your “6-7 ton” figure is unofficial atm, and it will be until the paper is released. yes, i'm stubborn. but, if this figure is actually cited within the text, i'll embrace it. you haven't been here long enough to call me biased, bruh. reading older posts of mine would show you that.

Sorry but someone spitting on private information coming from Maganuco or others from the team is biased to me.

Plus, really, I post the quote. You ask the screenshot instead. I post it, and you still reject it. If that's not biased, what's that ?

Also, actually private communications within scientific community DO MATTER. There are regularly references in peer reviewed publication where is stated as sources (name of the author. private com.)

Now if you say that you'll embrace the figure only once it's published, that's fairly reasonnable too. I don't force you to embrace that new estimate as of now.

I ask you to not spit on it like you did all the day.

Because if in one year, a new material implies a 11 tons plus Spino, I'll enjoy it as much. I have no favoritism, I favor the actual, up to date, figures.

So yes, I can't discussed with the biased guys, nor the fanboys or the haters.

TYRANT KING - It's actually a tad chilly where I am. How about for you? :)

@ SR Speak English.

SPINOSAURUS REX - How very nice! Your tone always instills such confidence in your ability to ameliorate your point of discourse! Could you possibly be any more fascinating?! I ask -  nay, demand!  - a formal right to applaud you for your exceptional wit! A joyous cacaphony of bells for you, my berating friend! Such a wondrous and astute litany! :)

So how is the weather.

Deeply sorry AL, deeply. But a certain new member needs to realize it isnt cool to randomly appear and rudely downgrade other's claims.

S-Rex and I know all too much about these flame wars. Trust me, you don't want one with anyone. 

@Carno, Chill out and do not to tell to others what to do, that is up ONLY to the Mods and staff team; so please if you dont mind do not attack to the other members that is againts to the forums rules- 

 open your ears, all of you: I already said send me a pm if there is something to report.

Is the last sentence Ill type out about it. You knwo whats the next-  

thanks to all.

Il be waiting any pm about whatever you guys wanna said or report-

Well i do suppose i can't do anything physically, but we can have one hell of a flame war, but IIIIII dont know.

There isn't exactly any action going on in any other topic. This has been rather interesting to keep up with. 

Spinosaurus rex is really threatening me. That's factually pathetic. And I'd like to have the guy in front of me. But that's impossible so I just can laugh more at him.

Carnosaur, you still suggest I've used my nationality in the debate. Once again, you were pointing on my language, I tell you I'm not born English speaker, nothing more, period.

Now, for the guys who think in their theories, so be it. I don't give a heck, I rely on the real paleontologists, the real professionnal discussions and the actual data.

So the theories of Spino rex and Carnosaur I just don't give a coin, really.

I responded because I thought there was some possible discussion. That's impossible.

I've discussed with Gigadino member and despite we disagreed on some points, we did not insult each other, even reaching an agreement.

Ibrahim et al.>>>Spinosaurus rex and Carnosaur. So who cares...

SR, How bout you have another "orgasm" comment on a differant topic, k? There are multiple people who have the same tone as me, but yet you turn to me always.

TYRANT KING - Indeed. We need to cool our heels and take stock of the valuable information that's been presented by all parties involved in this conversation. :)

Guys, I made a new series go check it out!

CARNOSAUR - You're most welcome! I really enjoyed that information; it brought to light some data that I'd been sorely missing over the past month and actually filled in afew gaps for me! It was awesome! :)

Guys stop. Just stop this.

I know all too well that's not how you operate. 

One thing though. How's about none of this "I'm the last guy you want to piss off" stuff? Just saying. Like, "ah, I'm so scared of this internet tough guy." Anyone can say anything from behind a keyboard and monitor. 

If somebody feels insulted by whatever, send me a pm.

I already said that 100 times this year,  that can't be so hard to understand.

SPINOSAURUS REX - What, might I ask, are you going to do to KOM? You, like the rest of us, are a voice within a virtual world. Your tone is becoming more and more threatening, but you, like anyone else here, are nothing but words. You, like everyone else, have no power to effect pointed changes upon others through a topic board.

Oh, cut the guy slack while he still spouting nonsense, you and i both know thats not how i operate. IDGAS if you are new, you need to accept the fact many people dont think the way you do, and you said you were 28? Ha! I would expect more, but clearly i shouldnt.

Perhaps if you'd just get off his back. No need to attack damn near everything he says just because you disagree with it. Unless of course, it's a habit you've developed and have no control over. Cut the guy some slack though. 

How bout you look at the majority of websites about Spino, they mainly support my theory. Dont you dare call me biased, i can copy and paste all of the websites that support me if need be.

Hey, what about me? And insulting those who disagree. That is truly pathetic.

Well then how become there are few webites that support this? It's been 3 almost 4 months, and there is only one website that supports this thoroughly. And newsflash, you practically insulted all of us except a few that agree with you, trust me, me and Carno are the last people you want to insult.

See, Dal Sasso et al. considered MSNM v4047 the largest theropod, hence their opinion must have been that others were lighter still. That probably based on Seebacher (2001), who they referenced even though their size figure is inconsistent with Seebacher’s results for other spinosaurs.

Dal Sasso considered it to be the largest theropod. Now they consider it merely the longest theropod. I don't know which method they've used to estimate its weight, and I don't think you know either. There several new methods to get a body mass estimate now.

These "new" 7-9 ton estimates aren't anything new, they were published 9 years ago and had absolutely nothing to do with the new finds.

Two questions :

- do you think I'm an idiot who doesn't know the history of what I'm talking about ?

- do you carefully ready what I write and post ? I've never said these were new estimates.

6-7 metric tons is the new estimate.

Once again, The information is pretty poor atm, owing to most of it remaining undescribed. The authors constructed a 3D model for estimating the center of mass, but strangely did not publish a weight estimate. 

The information is poor because it's not yet published. It will be published, I repeat, once again, once again, once again....

As of now, there is a lateral-view skeletal, but most of the individual remains aren’t described, let alone figured from several perspectives. 

Let the team do their job instead of arguing. They are working further on it. Don't warry, you'll have your publication.

Also, if really you hate Ibrahim et al. work, just confront them !

Your lack of respect for the paleontologists is disgusting. I guess that's symptomatic of the Internet era, the average geek knows everything from his laptop...

 And i'm not -- i repeat NOT taking your word for any of it. sorry, mate .

That's not my word, that's the quotes from Maganuco. I'm not your mate.

But as it stands all you've presented, again, is personal communication and a blog spot on those personal communications. 

Plus the information of new pending publication.

All what you have presented is your own biased facts.

At least I refer to one of the guys actually working on Spinosaurus material and who's gentle enough to respond me.

And my posts above show why this really shows nothing of what Ibrahim has to show us. Nothing has been released, all of this is your assumptions and that's it.

Ibrahim et al. is going to published their results, are you really trolling me so that I need to repeat this ?

My assumptions ? No, I don't have any assumptions.

If Ibrahim et al. proposed a 13 tons Spinosaurus, I'd report this figure as well.

You have your assumptions of 11 tons based on nothing published at all. You're totally biased in this discussion, I'm not. And if another theropod expert shows doubts about Ibrahim et al. mass estimate, I will show it. 

Because I'm damn more objective than you.

Continue with your insulting mannerism, it's not going to get you far here.

You were the very first to insult me, calling me moron. But I prefer to be a moron than biased. 

i was just gonna say exactly that.

Plus, there was no conclusion against the evidences from Ibrahim et al.

wut...

I did, pretty clearly leave the response from the team. If you'd venture to click the link, you can read it yourself. Enough with your antics kom.

That you like it or not, Spinosaurus still has short legs (how exactly short is the question), a shallow torso, a very narrow skull, an elongated neck

No one agrees. That's the thing; and it can be evidenced throughout our debate.

Plus, there was no conclusion against the evidences from Ibrahim et al.

Second, even then, this does not change greatly the deduced alleged body mass estimates for Spinosaurus, in no way

You have no evidence for this and i have none against it. We must wait for the paper to come out. end of that discussion.

I can for sure. But be sure, it won't be your beloved 11 tons figure...

Baseless conjecture on your part.  But, i'll leave it at that
