Well, anyone who wants to read the thread can, Cap'n NotBright. I said before I stand by my posts. If it props up your feeble ego to think you handed me a humiliating defeat, go ahead. Anyone capable of rational thought can read the thread.

One of us also felt compelled to falsely claim to have taught university level economics, despite being completely unfamiliar with the concept of MPC (which is taught to all freshman economics students), and despite revealing that he had never even heard the term "tax incidence," while sarcastically and ignorantly suggesting that someone had meant to type "tax incidents." Now tell us once again: Who has the "feeble ego?" The question really shouldn't concern whether someone handed another a "humiliating defeat." Rather, it should concern who attempted to engage in reasoned discussion and make cogent points, and who participated in that thread only to do a lot of dodging, deflecting, and name-calling. Sorry, Ex-Professor, but I just don't suffer fools gladly. Especially obnoxious ones!
But don't worry, "Ex-Professor." Getting caught having engaged in a bit of resume fraud on an SHMB obviously isn't a big deal. I mean, after all, you can't get fired for it. (Thankfully for you!)
It is a bit embarrassing, though, isn't it?
I read the thread...it was a good discussion. No one "had their ass handed to them "....why boast about it, even if you think you did?

As is obviously the case with "Ex-Professor" OldGuy, it would serve you well to learn how to pay attention and how to engage in at least some measure of critical thinking.
But I doubt that you two ignoramuses will stop kissing each other's asses any time soon!
