blonde, Since I’m not a pot ( which is in Flemish by the way a very insulting word to refer to a gay woman) and not black, you can keep your kettle and try to clean it. ---

Ryle, How come you fail to “understand the second sentence”? Can’t you understand that an adult isn’t stucked in your schoolkid mentality? ---

It’s ‘stuck’ BTW. Also, it’s typical of trolls to ignore peoples arguements and insult with dumb lines about schoolkid mentality. ---

Meros, \ ***So you claim to be a doctoral student but don’t even have the capability to retain something that was explained to you less than 24 hours ago?** Every one who studied more then on language knows: This expression appears just the same in several languages. The question for me to "translate " or the question “do you understand this” is so utterly ridiculous that I feel no need what so ever to answer it. And since you bring it up: Sorry for you but I have already one doctorate. I’m not a “doctoral student”. Salaam. Aldebaran. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ryle Dup \* > \*_Gee ever looked in the \* same fucking post you just fucking wrote?_ \*\* That I studied Christianity in the context I refer to, doesn’t mean I’m an expert in sects popping up like mushrooms in the USA, or those who appear eventually outside the USA. It doesn’t even mean that I’m an expert in Christian theology, although this was of course one of the subjects. If you want to be called an expert in Christianity you must have studied Christianity as your main studyfield. You mustn’t be an expert in University programs to understand that, in my opinion. ---

Man, I just checked this guys profile. See those 142 (although it’ll probably be 150 by the time I’ve finished writing this) posts he’s made? He’s done them all in _2 days!_ Someone should ban him for his own good. I’d hate to think of him burning out behind his monitor and having an aneurysm or something. ---

Just outta curiousity I’m wondering if anyone in the history of the SDMB has had a higher post-per-day rate than our friend Aldebaran.
