The good doctor's post was okay - it's Bodoni's that's idiotic

Q: Could drmark2000 win a land war in Asia?
A: Drawing upon his Mongolian hertiage, yes unless there were any walls in the way.

Nice job, Scumpup. But do you really consider mine a “persona?” The point of all of the fucking boards like these is to be able to say what we think, without thought of the ostracizement that takes place in normal, face-to-face human interaction. This is the glory of these boards! We must preserve and defend it!

And I admire your admiration. It is well deserved, after all. If you’re not entertained then, just as you say, skip my posts. If you choose the “Ignore Poster” feature you are engaging in embracing complete gutlessness, as so many do. I skip plenty of posts, not that I want to. To choose the ignore option for others’ posts is a vile and reprehensible practice.

That’s right, Bryan. Bodoni closing the thread in such a peremptory, high-handed and unjustifiable fashion stopped a discussion that the good doctor wasn’t dominating dead in its tracks. It was quite unnecessary and if she, or her fellow powers-that-be, have any balls (cue hilarious nanoswarm Simpsonesque jokes), they would reopen it immediately. Period.

And, Cervaise, shame on you for trying that manipulative bullshit. Any member who sees his or her presence here in terms of a popularity contest ends up with nil respect. As you well know.

You really might want to read some of his threads. This one should belong in any proper SDMB hall of shame. He has a pattern that is, by this point, well established.

It would be fine to have anybody else start a marriage thread because virtually any other Doper wouldn’t be starting such a thread with the deliberate purpose of being inflammatory, baiting people, making snide spurious “professional opinions” of the mental health of other Dopers, and other jerkish behavior. The bad doctor has made a habit of coming as close to the line as possible, and that thread should have been closed if only to stop him from, yet again, engaging in his song and dance. The best way, of course, to stop him is, and will be, his upcomming banning.

Oh and, just for the peanut gallery, as sure as I am Spartacus, it occurs to me that anybody who had actual training and had done thousands of hours of research into human sexuality might get their information from said research, and not commedy routines.

I’m not only the leader of a massive slave rebellion, I’m also a doctor.
And I will have sex with your wife.

Is drmark2000’s degree a Ph.D. or Psy.D.?

In which states is drmark2000 licensed to practice as a clinical psychologist? For how many years has he been licensed?

Has drmark2000 ever published in a peer-reviewed journal? If so, which and on what topic(s)?

If drmark2000 does possess a degree in psychology, why does drmark2000 sound fairly ignorant about psychological issues (or about general topics) when he writes about them here?

As one with a PhD in clinical psychology, I can say that I have met several people over the years who should not have doctoral degrees in clinical psychology, yet do. Fortunately, they are among the minority, but they do exist.

The degree is not a guarantee that any sort of criterion level of intelligence or maturity has been met, although the process makes it more difficult for the stupid or childish to progress too far. Still, exceptions do occur.

Perhaps I should change my name to DrHentor?

You could, but it’d sound ever so much more bitchin if you put a number (preferably large) behind it. How does DrHentor3000000000 strike you?

Heck, I tend to agree with the sentiments posted in the referenced OP, and even I would have locked that thread for deliberate provocation had I been a mod.

No, I am Spartacus!
Does anyone recall the Thread where he teamed up with other nutjobs to insult all of our intelligences, it was pre-suspension and not his Op. He teamed up with **mswas ** and Aeschines. If not here it is: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=351735&page=1

This one was fun What is the greatest human cruelty?

Dr Hentor, you could certainly do with brushing up your reading skills, or learning to lay aside your prejudices when reading posts that conflict with your own worldview as this post shows.

The only place I was demanding apologies from anyone is in your head. Enough material there for a whole conference, I shouldn’t wonder.

Thats only because your hatred for shrinks, extends to those whose claim to shrinkhood is dubious. [insert smilie]

I’m not the only one, you dumbfuck. There are scores of guys who would bone your own wife (if you have made the mistake of acquiring one) in one second, and she’d be happy to have them. This is only natural, for decent human beings.

Why not e-mail Lynn and ask if she has any objection to you opening a thread in GD with a similar premise? I wouldn’t link back to drmark’s thread, though, since he’d started it in the Pit with the obvious intent to express anger/dismay/disgust at Dopers who are married. Start the subject fresh, with no mention of him. I think it could be a very interesting thread (example title: “Is marriage still necessary?”), though I myself (having never been married) probably couldn’t contribute anything particularly insightful to it.

Be diplomatic; I doubt insults will help.

:confused: Referencing one thread and seeming to fit a post in another thread. :confused: Which one is this in reference to?

Why does this board have such a hard time with allowing “offensive” pit threads?

So I’m in the group he’s pitting. He’s got a fair point, whether or not I’m offended. 50% of marriages do end in divorce, and forcing a child’s existence (whether in or out of marriage) is one of the most presumptious things one can do (although I’ve done it).

He pitted marriage. Get a grip. Get over it.

Q: Does drmark2000 have a sense of humor?
A: Humor is for the lesser beings that lack drmark2000s wit and ability to bone married women. If he were to have a sense of humor, his jokes would be so intelligent that only Chuck Norris and God would get them.

Yes, it is unquestionably a persona; a comic-opera one at that. Just as Larry the Cable Guy is a caricature of a redneck, drmark2000 is a caricature of an egomaniacal attention whore. Also just as with Larry, the schtick was funny for a little while, but it is now tiresome. The actual opinions you express are rather simpleminded and, if not delivered in **drmark2000 ** character, wouldn’t excite any notable degree of animosity.

This bit, above, is a perfect example of you acting as drmark2000. I do simply skip your posts, I don’t need or use an ignore feature to screen out chaff. Anyway, I expect that the fellow under the drmark2000 costume is probably reasonably intelligent and gifted with a modicum of creativity. If that man should ever put in an appearance here, it might spark my interest to read some of what he has to say. In the meantime, drmark2000 is handled the same way I handle Larry the Cable Guy, Raymond J Johnson Jr, Urkel, and other characters I find tedious: I move on to something that is interesting and funny.

Goddamned fucking straight! But, why do you feel this way?

More like the board’s Nathan Thurm if you ask me.

Again for the terminally stupid: it was NOT closed because he Pitted marriage. It was closed because of his BEHAVIOR in said thread.

I have no objection to such a thread in GD, as long as it’s not trolling. I considered drmark’s OP to be trolling, which is why I closed the thread, and why I have asked the other mods about his posting privileges (and we are still talking, BTW, most of us have lives outside the SDMB).

And yeah, I can say that I think someone’s trolling, because I’m on the moderating staff.
