Agreed. And he generally moves on after the drive-by posts, so this is a minor annoyance compared to the people on my (blissfully short) ignore list who are tenacious about being jerks.
Thanks. I dismissed his claims very curtly, without even going into why they’re pseudoscience, because I have a certain brittleness of character than does not suffer fools gladly. I could have done better detailing of how exactly they’re wrong.
Like, there are graves north of the Caucasus of folks who’d migrated from south of the range. This is presented as evidence that the Aryan languages migrated north from India to Russia. Hello, skeletons don’t speak languages. The graves say absolutely nothing on the question of IE migrations. There was not a whit of context cited for these graves. In the cited paper, the context makes it clear that the migrants were part of the well-known Anatolian farmer expansion, which was not IE. That’s the level of crap those articles deal in.
The Indigenous Aryan Theory was definitively exploded in 2018, with the DNA from Rakhigarhi showing that the Indus Valley Civilization excluded the possibility of Indo-Aryan presence at that time. Some indigenous Aryanists had the chutzpah to claim that Rakhigarhi proved the exact opposite, so they’ve been laughed into oblivion.
I could have picked apart those flimsy claims one by one, but the topic ban has been imposed in that thread now. I’m ready if he tries to start it again.
And when skeletons do speak, it’s time to run.
Especially the lost ones from Cadavera!
So you’re saying DrDeth with an idea is like a dog with a bone?
In this case, he latched on the word “hypothesized” in the PIE article - and decided it meant that PIE was a hypothesis. It has been hypothesized that Dr Deth isn’t as bad as he seems - which means that his existence is just a theory and he might not exist.
You could very well be right. My only caution would be that the only source we have for all of these fantastical, and demonstrably untrue stories about his father come from DrDerp himself. Who deliberately and compulsively lies and misrepresents facts, cites, himself and other posters all the time. So, there’s really no way to know if his father is as much of a lying asshole as he is, or if DrDerp is just being a lying asshole about what he alleges his father told him and his father is a perfectly decent human being.
Who only failed in upbringing his son…
Once, while going through a particularly rough patch in my deployment to Iraq, I began to hypothesize that I did not exist. But what kind of sick mind would conjure up the likes of DrDeth to bedevil it? In short, DrDeth must exist, or else I have gone well and truly insane.
Well, either I have, or you have (if it turns out that I also am only a figment of your imagination).
It’s more like a compulsion to roll in rotting carcasses of bad ideas.
My guess is his dad did a number on him, including feeding him a bunch of BS.
Although it’s rather insulting to dogs, I would say that’s an apt analogy.
On the advice of a trainer, I taught my dog to sit while his dinner dish was doled out. He would sometimes literally salivate from the aroma of a hot stew or sausage, but would dutifully sit until called. He would also calmly take bites out of a hamburger while I held it. But give that dog a juicy beef bone, and he’d snatch it right out of my hand and run out into the back yard with it. You could not part that dog from that bone to save your life. That is Dr Dipshit on certain subjects – pretty much all subjects, actually, but it’s gun debates where he really drives me nuts.
You know, many of us were making the point earlier that we weren’t insulting his dad, we were insulting DrDeth. Maybe we could go back to that.
Yeah, I don’t recall Gatopescado ever making a hostile post; just, as C_T says, the jokey one-liner drive-by posts. If he was ever hostile or mean-spirited, I missed it.
Plus, we both have a love / hate relationship with Jeeps, so I feel a bit of a kinship with him there.
Agreed. The only time I noticed him being hostile was while gallantly and seemingly drunkenly defending the honor of his crush here.
I didn’t have DrDerp defending fascist ICE thugs on my bingo card, but I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised.
After all, federal law enforcement agents stick together.
Personally, I want to thank him for giving us the opportunity to point out the ways the Nazis were actually superior to ICE agents.
Yeah, for all his faults, I never thought he was a fascist, it was his one redeeming quality before this.
Huh? What thread?
Why are ICE agents masked?
