Does this mean Esprix only likes to have sex with men named homer?
Here I actually thought this was one of the new Smilies being voted upon.
Me:
Troy McClure:
Well, yeah, it’s not just teens, it’s everybody who screws around with Great Debates threads. But it’s a little more annoying at a certain level when it’s a kid, because one feels a certain constraint in getting out the Hammer Of Doom for a giggling teenager at the keyboard, instead of a giggling adult. Like, “Dang, don’t get to use the Vaporizing Death Ray this time…”
At least I do, I guess I can’t speak for the rest. 
Nor can you read what you have quoted.
It took me less than five minutes to find this site: University of Northern British Columbia. Their requirements for admission are differentiated depending upon from which province you hail and for which admission category you qualify; however, they are somewhat similar to those I listed and which you quoted.
I think Monty was referring to your use of “a english professor”, rather than “an English professor” or “a professor of English.”
Otherwise, I think you’re doing fine. Proceed. (Liked the ADD post, by the way.)
I like SmileyDeath already, if for no other reason than the sweaty grappling comment. Also, even though he’s only 14, he’s handled this Pit thread a lot better than most new Dopers of any age. No meltdown, no frothing attacks, just good-natured banter. Gotta love it.
I was also referring to his apparent conclusion that an professor of English is not something.
Good thing I love irony! Please be so kind as to render “an professor” as “a professor.” Seems I forgot to drop the n from the indefinite article after I realized that “English professor” could be ambiguous and then changed the phrasing. Oh, well…as I said, good thing I love irony!
Irony or Gaudere’s Law?
Ah. Point taken. My Hammer of Doom knows no age, only putziness. 
Damn straight.
Sure, he’s shot out of the gate kinda fast (OK, 70+ posts in his first day is more than “kinda fast”) but I’m willing to write that off as just being eager.
There are a lot of message boards where that kind of thing is the status quo (ever been to gamewinners.com? Ye gads!). Flood posting isn’t appreciated here, but hopefully he’s figured that out. I think he has shown admirable restraint in this pit thread and I hope that once he gets the feel of this place he’ll settle down and fit right in.
Oh – and welcome to the boards, Smiley.
True, but I couldn’t resist at least tossing out the lines, both of which, IIRC, are from Airplane II, a PG-rated movie. And I wasn’t the one who brought up the subject of sweaty grappling men!
NOOOOOOO!
I’m not allowed to watch pg movies!
:eek: 
You don’t. They’re from Airplane!, actually, but that was a PG movie as well.
Thanks, andros. I can never remember which gag is from which flick!
A hypothetical situation:
You’re one of the many posters or ex-posters who really hate smileys. You decide to try to get rid of them by creating a new identity and being annoying with them.
What would you name your new nick?
I’m not making an accusation of sockpuppetry, I just thought it was amusing.
Have you shared your amusing hypothesis with the admins yet, Wikkit?
Isn’t accusing someone of the you-know-what footwear-metaphor, even hypothetically, a no-no?
However, posting threads in GQ and never returning to them to thank the people who give you honest reponses is a really assholic thing to do, and will get him hounded off this Board pretty quickly.

Anthracite, realistically, very few thread starters on GQ ever give a thankyou.
There are some people that are genuinely looking for an answer. These people may or may not give a thankyou. Regular users of the board are probably more likely to say thankyou.
There are other people that aren’t really looking for an answer, they’re looking for a debate. Those people might be tr…s, or they might just be dickheads.
