I pit DrDeth

You sure that’s not just yet another word he insists on misspelling?

No, Mr. Dibble, your patience with this idiot (albeit some well justified irritated outbursts) knows no bounds.

The man’s knowledge of Simons Town is via wikipedia, his idea of TMNP is google maps.

As a fellow Cape Town resident I suggest that Dr. Deth shut the fuck up on subjects where his knowledge is less than sketchy. This would, of course have a side effect: Deth would have to be absolutely silent on every topic.

Oh, well.

That’s enuf of a explanation to convince me. I mean, a assumption could be made to the contrary, but I would not make such a argument myself.

DrDeth fail

You both make an solid point.

Oh, now he has a problem with third-party sources (Christopher Columbus thread in GQ).

His great-great-grandfather took down letters for Columbus during his voyage, so he knows all about what REALLY happened.

was Bartolomé de las Casas!

That’s how he knows for a fact that Bartolomé de las Casas hated Columbus, even though he praised him to the skies in his book.

In fairness, if Columbus were to post his first-person account in that thread, it would definitively answer the question. Unfortunately, I don’t think he’s going to join the Dope - he would probably find the zombie jokes offensive.

Nah… DrD would be arguing with Columbus. :smile:

He’d be Yankee-‘splainin’ North America to him.

Hey, I’m a Yankees fan and I know way more about North America than Columbus. He never even stepped foot in North America in fact. :wink:

Who’s going to break the news to Doc that the USA didn’t exist when Columbus was around?

Cite, please? (Wikipedia preferred, second-hand report from father acceptable).

I’ll take my being owned like a man: I can’t hide from this irony, can I?

Sorry, I wasn’t trying to dig at SDMB; a part of me laments the decline of message boards generally.

I am stealing “Yank-splainin”

It’s cromulent, indeed. Thanks go to MrDibble. It was his term for what DocD was doing by correcting MrD about a Wildlife Refuge (?) in MrD’s neighborhood (S.Africa).

But I think we need a word for what Sam Stone does. An alleged Canadian, he gets his knickers in a twist about USofA politics, spouting nothing but far-right-wing talking points.

Ooh, maybe Moose-Goosin’!

Making a false eh-quivalency?

In the spirit of the Martinizing dry cleaning method which was pure spin & hype, perhaps we could say he’s Albertanizing.
