**Sorry, but I lost my last ounce of respect for handy when he said that he called those with cochlear implants the “FrankenDeaf”, seemingly equating those deaf children and adults with cochlear implants to freakish monsters. He never said anything on the board in response to my criticism of this appalling and abhorrent statement.
**

Wait, he uses names like “FrankenDeaf”, and had the nerve to chastise me for saying ‘hearing-impaired’ instead of ‘hard-of-hearing’ in a thread where I was asking for advice on teaching deaf students? What-the-fuck-ever. I wasted the two seconds I spent feeling bad big-time. Although there were other deaf folks and hard-of-hearing folks in the thread telling me it wasn’t a big deal, Handy felt it necessary to beat his point home and argue about it. Handy, you are not only an asshole, you’re a fucking hypocrite.

(And yes, I can find the cite if anyone requests it - but I’m at work and don’t have time to search for it at the moment.)

Allow me.

Sorry dan I thought any thread with “porn” in the title is one you’d already be aware of. <smirk>

Here you go. Please forgive my initial atrocious coding errors; they are corrected further down the thread.

I saw that thread when it first was begun, but I didn’t read past the first post or two. (In general, I try not to click on anything with “porn” in the title whilst at work. You understand.)

Well, then, two things:

1. You were both being smug bastards in that thread,

2. You’re right, that’s what he said, and it’s just all kinds of wrong to tell people to take it to the pit and then not come along yourself,

and c) That link mighta been handydandy at the beginning of this thread, no? Oui!

and iv) I ain’t the porn slut here.

[Otto]

1. I was being “righteously indignant.” Nyah.
2. Thank yew.
   c) He hadn’t started spewing his shit in that thread when I started this one and then with the board being all kinds of cranky…anyway…
   iv) Who is?

[dantheman]

Dang, where’s that :notme: smiley when you need it, eh?

I’ve had a day to cool off, and looking back on what I wrote yesterday in this thread, I’m willing to admit that my criticisms of handy were overboard and out of proportion to the offense. My apologies.

I always like a person that can take a step back sometimes, nice to know you are one of them.

It has come to my attention that at least one person was not clear as t o the intent/meaning of my most previous post to this thread. I thought it might be of use to say that I was being, rather than serious, sarcastic. I thought that was evident, but then what I think something is and what it is to someone else are sometimes not the same thing:)

Ah, QED, you rock:). Thanks.

Yeah, smug bastards maybe, but he’s so slippery that when a chance comes along to nail him down to a particular transgression I can understand the desire to take it. He responded to someone calling BS in that thread, which is more than you usually get out of him.

I’m sorry, you’ll all have to tell me what OS/browser you’re using.

I’ve noticed that the only people who pit members due to their post count are those that are obsessed with post counts.

What?

No, you miss the obvious. You are not qualified. I am tired of you giving bad and potentially dangerous advice to our membership.

So I am making this official. You are not to give advice in any medical thread to anybody ever again. For any reason.

This is an official warning. Your continued ability to post on this site is in jeopardy.

[Qadgop_the_Mercotan]

boy, that thread brings back memories. Some them less than pleasant. Thanks, drachllix, I think?

[dantheman]

Yeah, who could ever forget that bullshit post? As if the only people permitted to post are “qualified.”

Uh, I didn’t pit him because of his post count. I pitted him because of the worthlessness of every post of his I can recall seeing, including one in which he posted false legal information as true and when called on it by three different people including two lawyers held to the lie. He then did the very same thing again in another thread in very short order.

[Qadgop_the_Mercotan]

Yeah, but that’s handy for you, Otto. When called on his mistakes, I’ve never known him to either admit it or apologize. I find it best to merely recuse what he posts, even when he may be correct. It keeps my blood pressure lower. I can’t change him, but I can change my attitude towards him.

[spinky]

I had to go find my personal example of handy being full of shit.

The only possible explanation for his utterly useless contribution there is that he wants to sound knowledgeable, yet he has nothing useful to say. He doesn’t care if he’s helpful, so long as he can act like he’s the smart guy who solved the problem.

When called on it, he fights back a little, and when it’s demonstrated that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, he never comes back.
