No, I’m in one of the best graduate programs in the nation and talking about hundreds upon hundreds of peer reviewed journal articles.
And you, on the other hand, are acting like an asshole.
_And_ you’ve still not addressed the points that I’ve refuted. Care to retract your claim about the Taliban?

So you are a silly little college student. How old are you, anyway? 23, 24?
Sorry if it bothers you, but your opinion means less than zero. I suggest you get over yourself.
Peace & Love,

And we have a mature response, just as expected.

It doesn’t matter, friend. Arguing with **milroyj** is somewhat less satisfying than dropping red-hot ingots on your shin, and even more painful. You might as well hold your fire for more worthwhile targets, ones that offer at least a pretense of reasoned resistance.
About the only useful thing one can reply to the spewings of **milroyj** is :wally

You were looking in the mirror when you said that, right?

Unfortunately I’m afraid you’re right my friend… I did my best, discussed in good faith, was polite and even friendly.
Ah well.

Why the sudden hard-on for me, ETF? No matter, it still doesn’t change the fact that FinnAgain is talking out of his ass.
“pedagogical implications of semantically driven linguistic practices” indeed.

Hey, maybe you can look up each of those words individually, and then study their meanings and then (you might have to think really hard for this one) figure out what they mean as a whole and then (this may require you to lay down for a spell afterwards) reflect on why research of such is significant, even vital.
Or you could just go fuck yourself, which was as valid a reccomendation as any.

**FinnAgain** : [I told you so.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=274735&page=1&pp=50) A four-page cite fight about something that happened on national _fucking_ television. By the way, **milroyj** ’s total meltdown on page 3 is not to be missed.

You did indeed.
I still don’t regret attempting to have a civilized, polite, factual discussion.
Ah well, at least now I know better.
And yes, what a fun lil’ meltdown.

Consider it a lesson learned.
Milwhatever is an idiot.
One thing about him though.
He has no pride at all. He doesn’t care who knows that he is an idiot.

A man who can’t get someone’s name right after several tries ought not to throw around that “idiot” word the way you do.

**Lib** :
I think he was deliberately changing **mil** ’s user name in the same way many do in the pit in order to show disdain. (eg. "I’m not even give you the coutesy of writting out your name in full, finnwhatever.)

But that practice is against board policy.

Wait. Isn’t accusing someone of “junior modding” junior modding? I don’t know for sure because I am not a mod. 😛
