Here's a Subject They All Agree On!!!

Geeze, doesn't the guy have anything better to do than pick on you???? The whole thread has gotten completely off topic and has become a cyber bullying session. You obviously are unfamiliar with the history here. This obnoxious jackwagon opened fire on me with a long string of unprovoked insults long ago, and he just can't give it up. He tried to be a cyberbully and it backfired on him. It's embarrassing to throw a boomerang only to see it return and smack you square in the face!

Instead of starting more redundant threads, why don't you spend a little time reading and learning about your hero Noam Chomsky? Try to locate an objective source this time! Originally Posted by SassySue

What's next in the hit parade? Maybe I will be adjudged a shitty private equity manager by the estimable Marc Mezvinsky!

Professor, it certainly must be embarrassing and frustrating to be exposed as a liar who boasted of obviously nonexistent academic credentials. (And on an SHMB, no less. How pathetic!) No doubt you are seething with hostility and resentment. Maybe it would be cathartic for you to stomp your little feet in anger. Perhaps more therapeutic, though, would be for you to seek professional help and directly confront your anxiety arising from deep-seated self-esteem issues.

Best wishes for an eventual and full recovery!

Sue, he obviously has no life or self esteem. He also misreads "our history". He gets a kick out of trying to ruin my reputation on a SHMB, among people I don't care about. Let him knock himself out. At least when he's attacking me he's not out in public.

Love you, as ever, Sue! Hope all is well.

Sue, he obviously has no life or self esteem. No life? Says the guy with almost 27,000 posts on an SHMB? LOL! (Actually my life is damned nice, thank you.) And a lying little fraud who felt compelled to try to bolster his arguments by claiming obviously nonexistent academic credentials is prattling about someone else's "self-esteem?" Too fucking funny! He also misreads "our history". You're quite delusional. He gets a kick out of trying to ruin my reputation on a SHMB, among people I don't care about. You ruined your "reputation" all by yourself, you lying, babbling buffoon. Let him knock himself out. At least when he's attacking me he's not out in public. Don't forget that YOU"RE the one who decided to open fire with insults. Don't whine if someone decides to punch back.

What kind of person gets his ass handed to him in a debate and follows up a bunch of name-calling (that he initiated) with a claim that he taught a subject he knows nothing about? Sad and pathetic, for sure, but funny nevertheless.

It's amusing to see an obnoxious asshole who tried to be an internet bully embarrass himself and get his fucking teeth kicked in! Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy

Just a hunch, but I'm guessing that you didn't exactly chalk up a 99th percentile score on the quant section of the GRE.

You have issues. Get help now. You are a danger to yourself and others.

Fuck off, asshole. The last thing someone with your problems ought to be doing is hectoring someone on who has "issues!" Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy

I'm the one who can't "let it go," but you keep on responding with insults? Are you that obsessed with with continually bumping a thread that reminds everyone of what an obnoxious, insecure, lying little fraud you are? Damnedest thing I've seen in a long time! Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy

Au contraire, professor! First, you deserve credit for every bit of the comedic value contained in this thread. After all, you were the one who came up with all the wonderfully wild, imaginative statements. All I did was comment on them. I'm willing to give credit where credit is due!

Second, I'm hardly "dangerous" -- except possibly to the self-esteem of someone who continually insults me in a debate while getting his ass handed to him on topic substance. (That sort of thing tends not to go very well for the less knowledgeable of the debate participants.) Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy

You never answered earlier. Was Otis Sistrunk one of your students?

Are you enjoying yourself, Halfbright?

Since you're such an obnoxious asshole, it's been a hell of a hoot to see you demonstrate so convincingly that you're a lying, insecure little weasel. Admit it. Rather embarrassing, isn't it?

Schadenfreude! It's human nature.

Pretty thin skinned, aren't you, Halfbright? Besides, it's apparent you don't want to discuss, you want to be told you're right. That's why you have your own forum. Just go there. I tried to discuss with you, you wouldn't have it. Done with you. Go fuck your self.

Aw, professor! What's the matter? Don't like being regarded as a laughingstock?

Pretty thin skinned, aren't you, Halfbright? LOL! Project much? Besides, it's apparent you don't want to discuss, you want to be told you're right. That's why you have your own forum. Just go there. I'll go wherever in the hell I want to, you babbling buffoon. I tried to discuss with you, you wouldn't have it. You are preternaturally incapable of having a reasoned discussion without hurling insults every time you become baffled and confused by the topic -- which is often, if the discussion pertains to economics or tax policy. Done with you. Great! It's about time you stop replying to this thread. All you're doing is continually reminding everyone that you're an insecure, lying little fraud. Go fuck your self. That's the spirit, professor! Stomp your little feet in anger. If you do it loudly enough, maybe everyone will soon forget that you're a bald-faced liar. (But I doubt it!)

Don't settle for merely following a long fusillade of unprovoked insults to someone else's intelligence with a claim that you taught university-level economics.

Go for the full monty! Tell anyone who challenges any of your opinions that you are a Nobel laureate in economics. That'll show the bastards!

there is precedent for this.
