Yo! paulberserker!

No, he mentioned duffer already.
:wink:

paulberserker,
it’s certainly disappointing that Kaitlyn lied. However her posts were still interesting, worthwhile and polite. The complete opposite of yours, in fact. :wally

Dickhead. Now I have to respect you again. :mad:

:smiley:

No, the tomato, dammit!

Have you ever read any of my other posts? Is this still going on with a garden ramble and a leg and a wing? Will all our questions be answered?

I don’t think I ever claimed that Kaitlyn being a liar vindicated my posts in the other thread, merely that i’m not a liar. Unlike Ilsa Lund, who doesn’t seem to able to make his mind up who he is.

(fin)

Yes (sadly).

Don’t you read your own posts?
Here’s what you said:

“Fruit aside Ilsa, how you feel about your pitting me now, seeing as Kaitlyn’s posts have all been exposed as a house of lies thatched with a roof of bullshit?”

So you even contradict yourself in the same thread.

Is this another one of your bigoted sneers?

When did this turn into a thread about fried chicken?

Nurse Carmen is another guy who posts under a woman’s name. You gonna go after him, too?

Is Carmen his first name? If so, is it exclusively used for females? I know it can’t be the Nurse part you’re referring to as it’s a profession, not a gender-specific title. :confused:

Ha! I made you respect me specifically to piss you off. My scheme has worked!

Ilsa is a liar. Proof:

Seems to be an awfully weird joke to make to me.
More lies:

2004/01/26 was in school ~8 years ago (implying that he isn’t in school now?)

2004/09/25 started college at 12

2004/02/29 IQ 150-180, another mention of starting college @ 12

2004/04/13 homeschoold from 5-7th grade, then started college

2004/01/26 went to poor southern school until 5th grade, then started college

Apparently, Ilsa is so smart, he can travel back in time, and make himself smart enough to get into college at an even younger age!

2004/09/15 Claims to be a published herpetologist, no PhD yet

Thanks to some anonymous people for the links! Let the weaseling commence!

Reread that last thread, and it seems to be a weird joke based on her double posting. Sorry for the mistake. The rest of it stands.

Her as in Kyla, not Ilsa.

Where are the discrepancies and contradictions? Those are all internally consistent and show no proof of fraudulence.

“Going to school 8 years ago.” (see first post) While being a senior in college

http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=4533352&postcount=58

Apparently going to college just after grade 5 (at a poor southern school). Then it is changed to him being homeschooled grades 5-7, THEN starting college. See first post.

Him apparently being a published herpetologist. See first post. While it has a chance of plausibility given his supposed intelligence, but it seems a little odd that in 7 months he went from being a senior in college to being published as a person knowledgable in a certain science. That is assuming he graduated very soon after he posted about being a senior in college.

Going to school ~8 (notice the tilde… it denotes an approximation) years ago would have been in 1996, when he was ~10, the age someone would be in 5th grade, and began homeschooling.

His exact quote is “Well, I went to a poor school in the south, and then only until the fifth grade. (No, I didn’t drop out, I started college.)” and that doesn’t preclude the possibility of his being homeschooled for two years beforehand.

The school’s financial situation is irrelevant.

Admittedly suspicious but not proof of anything. All he said was that he was published. That could mean anything from an well-regarded academic essay to a magazine article.

One link says he started college after having done grade 5 at a school. And one said he was homeschooled for grades 5-7. Maybe he was homeschooled for part of grade 5 and went to a school for part of 5, but one version says that was homeschooled for grades 5-7, and one says that he went to college when finished with grade 5. How is that consistent?

The “~8 years ago” bit may be consistent with him being homeschooled, but since it is one of two different versions of what happend, it may be a lie.

Not two years beforehand, two years after. He was in grade 5 and then went college OR as one of his posts says he was homeschooled for grade 5-7 and then went to college.

Which seems like a pretty huge mistake to make to me me.

Yes, I admit that, it was part of what I quoted from another source, and accidentally mentioned that detail again.

Yeah, I suppose that could be a possibility. Seems it would likely be an academic essay, but “published herpetologist” would seem to imply more than that. I suppose it could very well have been true, publishing an academic essay after getting a degree… Just not saying it was a magazine or a academic essay makes it seem more like it’s more than that.

Or it could be awkward phrasing and an honest mistake. Grammar isn’t always very precise… for example, when I said “that doesn’t preclude the possibility of his being homeschooled for two years beforehand”, I meant before college, not fifth grade.

We’re human. We make errors.

Misleading, yes, but not an outright lie and it fits in perfectly with his character or what we know of it. He’s a pretentious blowhard, yes, but I don’t see any evidence that’s he’s a troll in anything that you or Zero Gravitas linked to as your whole case against him are these lines:

[ol][li]I started college at twelve.[/li][li]I started college when I was 12.[/li][li]When I was in school (~8 years ago)[/li][li]I was home schooled from the fifth grade on, and started college two years later.[/li][li]Well, I went to a poor school in the south, and then only until the fifth grade. (No, I didn’t drop out, I started college.)[/li][]FWIW, I am a herpetologist. I don’t have a PhD yet, I occasionally make mistakes, but I am published and generally know what I’m talking about RE: snakes (if little else!).[/ol]*

Great. Now “expose the doper” has become the new cliche. :rolleyes:
I miss “penis ensues.”

It is a pretty big mistake to make. Grammatical mistakes that would give the impression you spent two/three years doing something you weren’t (being homeschooled grades 5-7) seem like a pretty big mistake to make, and one you’d probably need to clarify. Especially if you had said what your schooling situation was a few times before, and then it completely changes, from being 12 (which supports the homeschooling) and then to doing grade 5 (roughly, age 10) and then going to college. If the second part were true, he’d be a senior at 14. Just seems a little far off from what could be considered a simple mistake.

“And then, only until the fifth grade (No, I didn’t drop out, I started college)” says “I went to a school until 5th grade, then I went to college”. Again, very inconsistent with what he had been saying before. He had said he had started college at 12 / was a senior at 16, and kept on confirming that he was 16, why would he make such a big mistake that would implicate that it was a lie, that if the new version were true he was actually 14, and hadn’t been homeschooled and not correct/say anything about the post?
