I'm fully aware that other people are reading my posts, and also that they don't have to as well, as has been pointed out ad nauseum over the twenty three years that I've been posting.
Who made you the arbiter of this site anyway in the relatively short time that you've been here? I'll hit you with a textbook if I get close to you professor, a big one too.

Right, I suppose you’d say well you can just ignore the dog poop in your lawn too.
 
Using this same logic, you don’t have to read what I’m writing to you in response, now do you?

I'm checking  your spelling. If you trip up I'm calling Duke. I plan to I insert difficult words to spell, to trip you up. Then I'm telling Duke. All part of my evil plan.   Ooohhh I hope you read that one!

Ybabpmuts

You can use phenetics since you're from Duke.

Yes I read it.  I’m not sure what my employer has to do with any of this.   Some of you guys are really over the line with this kind of crap.

My daughter refused Duke because the professor she met was a pretentious ass who kept referring to his wall of degrees and what he had published. She rightfully left and never looked back. It's an old white man's graveyard of stodgy **** and old white men are half of what's wrong with this country. I raised my daughters to be strong and see through all the old white man ****, think for themselves, and make their own way in life. Give me **** all you want John but I've put two girls through four years of college each, and one of them through six years of college total, and they both leave strong independent lives. What you don't realize is, as Stike always pointed out, you can't be stupid and wrote this kind of ****.

Sounds legit, not made up at all.

This helped me in the meantime- Do what John mentioned and save that as a bookmark and use that when you want to get to the site. Then it’s basically your home page. Problem is, when done reading a thread, you have to click back instead of the banner. The banner takes you back to the home page with only 10 threads. 

...or just hit the bookmark again instead of back.

I also set up a second bookmark "BGE OT", easier than hitting Forums, scrolling down, looking for and hitting OT.

Hahaha. Nope she ended up going to UVA for a masters in mechanical eng. Beautiful campass.  Got her BA in eng from Smith, which as you know had been traditionally a Liberal Arts College, but my oldest daughter was the first class in their gen eng program, first class to graduate as Eng from Smith. My youngest went to UNH and graduated with honors with a BA in mathematics, They're both well into careers in their respective fields. Call me what you want John, but this is all legit.

Oh I wasn’t questioning the fact that they went to school and got degrees, good for them.  You’re obviously very proud.  

And I never questioned your intelligence, either, I was only questioning your judgment.  After all, you are the one who said he knows he posts twisted stuff, but you don’t care how people take it.  Those are your words, not mine, so it doesn’t have anything to do with me being some arbiter of content.  I never claimed to be that.

As if to make my point, the above response from you is actually quite coherent, without any attempt at some kind of a lame bum joke.  It seems you’re capable of that sort of thing when you want to be.  Funny how that works.  

As we say in the south and your daughter may have learned, have a blessed day.

There's nothing wrong with my judgement John. I've been doing this for 20+ years. People have the option to read it or not, same as anybody.

Well, and folks also have the option to tell you what they think of it, don’t they?

Regardless, here’s a piece of judgment for you, Paul.  We have thoroughly derailed this thread, and probably bored just about everyone else out of their minds with the back and forth.  If you want to continue this discussion, take it to private message or even your own Activity page if you want.  This will be the last on the topic from me here.

And a very mature nanny-nanny-moo-moo to you John.

Since you all high jacked my thread...  I mowed a duke professors lawn when I lived in NC.  It was a very strange situation and only lasted a month or so if I recall.   Mostly I remember the guy being like mid 40s with greased hair slicked back (like George Mcfly) way dorky but confident, he had a presumed wife who it seemed like she was very young (like student age or just over) and was holding a baby in one of those situations where shes not allowed to talk or do anything without his permission.  The house was older ranch style surrounded by large pine trees, nothing had been fixed up or maintained in ages, and there were weird chemical containers or something on the back porch I assume he brought home from work.

  I don't know it was creepy and I had really bad vibes over the whole account. 

 

 I also mowed a Distinguished Professor of biostatistics who taught at UNC for many years and he was very normal and friendly!  SHots FIRed!

There are two types of people in this world.  Those who draw conclusions based on a single anecdote or limited data.

Speaking of drawing things. I once dated a naked artist, she would go and sit out naked in the hot desert sun and draw flies.

Two totally separate actions. I write the stupid **** off of the top of my head, but posting it is a totally separate action. Sometimes I do post it and sometimes I don't. I'm well aware of how f'd up my brain works John, I've lived with it for 58 years, and I'm sure everybody else on here probably knows how f'd up it is as well. But you, the big professor from Duke belittles me like that on the forum. You should be proud of yourself. I hope the fleas of a hundred camels find your underwear drawer.

You're a full grown man, one can assume, yet you seem to lack compassion and empathy for people who are going through **** and have one outlet to deal. 


Shame on you professor shmuck

I’m not belittling you.  I’m just trying to get you to appreciate that, believe it or not, other people here are reading your posts.  This basic fact seems lost on you.  

Because you wrote that you know your posts are messed up on the one hand, but that you don’t care how people here take them on the other!   That kind of attitude isn’t going to endear yourself to many here, don’t you agree?

It’s like telling a neighbor “I know my dog pooping on your lawn every day and me just leaving it there isn’t OK, but I don’t care what you think.”  

It’s not very nice, is it?

I find guys that call others small Peen are usually guilty of transference. Same goes for calling others douchecanoe. 😁🤣

no self awareness because John and others live in an echo chamber circle jerk world. 🤦🏼‍♂️

For the record, John reserves the right to demean and name call anyone he wants precisely because he is a Duke professor. Feels he’s better than you. He sometimes provides condescending praise to his loyal subject though. Which is nice if him. So magnanimous.
