I never claimed to be Mr. smarty pants.[/quote]Sure you did. That’s where the two doctorates and 16 years of collage came in. (I’m still hoping to see some of the collages, by the way.)

I was responding to dave from fallbrook’s earlier posting of his academic background, so I didn’t really bring it up, he did. [/quote]If you’re referring to me, davelj, I’ve been a poster on this website for approaching five years. In the many hundreds (hell, could be a thousand for all I know) of posts that I’ve made over this time, my academic background has been brought up MAYBE three times, including this one. And in EVERY case, it was a response to someone either asking about it specifically or begging the question (as in your case), so to speak. I have NEVER brought it up out of the blue because, frankly, I think it detracts from the conversation and, as I’ve noted, I think degrees are over-rated. Consequently, it is largely irrelevant. You, on the other hand, clearly believe the opposite, which is why you brought it up in the first place.
And, anyway, who the hell is Dave from Fallbrook?

I just reviewed alot of the original tread. Aside from the joy of battling sarcastic wit with some of you, I have learned nothing new from most of the threads. Some of you are more interested in defending established ideas rather than questioning the status quo. Not worth my time frankly.[/quote]Allow me to translate: “Not worth my time frankly” means, “I have no rebuttal so I will come up with an excuse for not doing so. My excuse is: It’s ‘not worth my time.’ I’m a Very Important Person with Two Doctorates and 16 Years of Collage, for Christ’s sake!! I’m an “INVESTOR”!! And an Artist!!”

Participant[quote=investor]I was afraid this might degenerate into a “dick fight” so no, I’m not going to say what in. It’s none of your f’ing business anyway. [/quote]
Bwahahahaha…. ringalingalingalingaling… my bullshit detector just went off.
There are only two reasons you wouldn’t say what they’re in: (1) you don’t actually have two doctorates, or (2) they are in some subject that is so far removed from the topic at hand as to be completely and totally irrelevant to your argument.
If you were afraid that “this might degenerate into a dick fight,” then why did YOU bring it up? After all, this is all YOUR doing, “investor.” You’re the one who wanted to claim to be all Mr. Smarty Pants. You. Brought. It. Up. Not me.
