You asked me incessantly for my credentials, remember?
As a very logical guy, you understand, that I cannot prove to you that I know anatomy: like my last girlfriend, you will always ask for ‘more’. But you can prove to me that you know anatomy better. Show to me olphactory nerves in the human accessory sinuses.
Where? This is a mesage board. Everything I’ve ever written is till there!
Peace, you know very well he can’t show you olfactory nerves over the internet. It is true that you can’t prove your knowledge of anatomy to us. But that, as usual, is waaaayyyyyyy off the point. You don’t have to prove it. We have extrapolated your knowledge of anatomy based on your statements in previous threads, many of which do not make any sense, or if they do, contradict other posts of yours.
This board is not about proving. It is about developing mutual trust with other members by providing accurate information. Although some cites wouldn’t hurt.

You stupid little fucking idiot - it was me, not Gaspode who asked you for you credentials. But heck, I understand, all of us Aussies look alike. And don’t you ever accuse me of being drunk just because I swear at you - you must be pretty shit-faced yourself given the language in your last few posts.
You are no longer funny peace, and for people to be throwing around the “t” word without getting into trouble from the mods is pretty unusual on this board.
If you want to start debates then post in the right forum - this is the Pit and this thread is about you being an arsewipe. Do you really believe that anyone on this MB thinks your arguments are more powerful and convincing than those of jb, Colly, and Tom? Get over yourself you little wanker. None of us are laughing with you anymore peace - we’re laughing at you.

OK, I acknowledge a possible mistake: perhaps I confused Gaspode and Reprise: I remembered that some of these Aussies did ask for credentials. I never check previous posts: if you, Gaspode, say that you did not post something, your word is OK. Otherwise, this BM will become a nightmare. And I was unfair to you, rubbing in this olfactory nerve stuff: I know it is impossible for you to show anything, because it does not exist, not because it is impossible to show over the Net (refs. ARE possible, JB).
I made multiple attempts to make peace. Never succeeded. Perhaps you need a character like me to prove your superiority? If this is the case, I do not mind. Go ahead, have your day! I will survive. Actually, I will live longer: if I know that my mere existence makes a few people happy, I am happy.
And do not be as sensitive as Reprise: she has called me all kind of names; I only called her drunk (when she actually was) and she did not like it! Treat others as I’d like to be treated.
Peace
Steeeee-rike one.
We’ve known that all along peace. You’ve been shown many refs proving that olfactory nerves are present in the sinus. Strike fucking two.
Uh huh. Yer out.
Oh, and by the way, this BM will become a nightmare. This thread is already like a nightmare BM: I strain and strain, redfaced and near-stroke, but there’s no progress. What a pain in the ass.

It wasn’t a “possible” mistake - you were just plain WRONG.
I’m one of the posters who can expect a “back off” email from the mods just about any time now, but I truly don’t understand why you have a problem with citing your credentials. No-one is saying that having a degree makes you a better person than someone who doesn’t have one, but there are fields in which credentials very much count - medicine happens to be one of them. I don’t care how many websites you’ve visited or books you’ve read, if I ever need brain surgery or open-heart surgery, I’d much rather be operated on by someone with a medical degree than someone who can’t or won’t produce any evidence of being qualified to perform such surgery.
I’m probably also going to use a fully qualified accountant to manage my finances and a qualified lawyer to defend me in court should the need ever arise.
The point has been made over and over and over again (but you’ve already admitted that you don’t read old posts) - nobody has a problem with you holding and expressing an opinion on this board, but you come perilously close at times to endangering people by representing your opinions as fact. Particularly when you make blanket statements about things medical.
And BTW - a quote is not a fact. If you want to attack the foundations of science, you’ll have to do a whole lot better than just posting a quote.
Haven’t paid too much attention to this roast, but y’all may want to take a peek at this thread: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=1009190#post1009190
I don’t care about the anti-lawyer raving, but anti-semitism, too? Sheesh.
Well said.
This isn’t bringing old issues up to date. It’s necophilia. Either post original outgrowths or don’t bother.
Locked.

Whatever you felt was well said was said well over 3 1/2 years ago.
If there is a point, here, to which you wanted to respond, your best bet (for ancient and long dead threads) would be to open a new thread and simply link to the thread (or post) to which you are responding.
