This is a normal post It's good you remember my original prediction back when it was a tiny vent, and how accurate it's been proving
"that this was unique, that it stood out in comparison to other recent eruptions. It resembles the big shield volcanoes”

I'm certain it's this admiration for me that you repeatedly reference it, and not because you're toxic little dweeb jealous at your betters

This is a normal post oh, the wit
and the tiresome Prufock cycle is almost complete.
1) attempts to troll me compelled by hatred
2) retreats to grammatical pedantry in attempt to save face. What was it last week? I left a full stop off my comment. That was a great save...
3) trolling somehow becomes even more nakedly humourless, a feat in itself, and insulting, often regurgitated trolling catchphrases I haven't seen since the 90s
which only leaves us with your last ditch stand
4) calling me mad or insane
and so it goes...

and there you have it. never any argument over ideas, like whether my predictions about the icelandic volcano had merit, you're not really capable of that. even your brief attempt to defend the spectator made me feel like I was arguing with some distressed inarticulate teen rather than an adult.It's just a tedious cycle you'll try again next week, but I guess any attention is good attention, when you have so little else going by way of personality or substance

This is a normal post Says the guy who went mental about an article he didn’t read about a show he didn’t watch.
You can say that’s sane if you like, but it ain’t.

This is a normal post just because you're unable to follow an argument, it doesn't imply the other person is mental, though I'm sure it's comforting to believe so
if the spectator run a poor review of coogan, and I point out that it's in line with the attack pieces they've been running on coogan since he gave evidence at leveson, and indicative of the falling standards of their writing (and I provided a few links to illustrate my point), then that's relevant. It's just your mind being unable to switch gears, prufock, possibly hampered by how personally invested in the spectator you are. you thought people would just pile in like the spectator readers' comments, but found yourself in an argument about the mag itself and were unable to articulate anything other than "please don't talk about this" and call me mental. it's about as satisfying as our other exchanges, but like above, still you persist.

This is a normal post this was a recent article
and "shitting themselves" are prufocks words, not my own. my original post referenced early research and how geologists were worried that it could develop into a major and continual hazard. if you recall how recent eruptions have disrupted european aviation, the possibility of it developing into a regularly erupting shield volcano that sends ash clouds 8 km up into the troposphere seemed like a reasonable concern. So far it seems to be following that development path, as the above article confirms, but there's still a lot of unknowns.

"the possibility of it developing into a regularly erupting shield volcano that sends ash clouds 8 km up into the troposphere"

That would seem scary, if that's what shield volcanoes do. They don't. You're thinking of cinder cone volcanoes.

Shield volcanoes just sit there like fat lumps oozing their contents out onto the surface (insert "your mum" joke here). They're about the most benign volcanoes you'll ever see. Mauna Kea is a classic shield volcano, and hasn't released an eruption column in forever. The worst that does is force the occasional road to be rebuilt somewhere else.

This is a normal post as the article states, the petrographic compositional profile is changing
as unlike the mixed partial melting of the majority of other icelandic volcanoes, this one seem to be sourced from down at the mantle boundary, possibly as an old pathway that hadn't been used for 14,000 year was reopened by a recent earthquake. So when you have varying mg mafic minerals, as stated, you have varying viscosities, and hence varying sorts of eruptions. The one characteristic of these deep sourced volcanoes is that they tend to be long lasting and bring up lots of rock, some erupting for thousands of years, so in this context I think they were talking about shield volcanoes in terms of prominence, as they are some of the largest volcanoes on earth. shield is more of a morphological descriptor, some are quite pyroclastic, or have suffered cone collapse. And even volcanoes like mauna kea and loa are in what's called their post shield phase, they had substantial large pyroclastic eruptions in their earlier phases, with large ash deposits like the pahala ash layers showing they blew their tops as good as the next volcano
