Wow, he's really been a deleting fool, hasn't he? Except for the 'Sic him, Nikto!' remark, nothing violated his posted "rules". He's a remarkably shameless liar.
Hmm, went into the shallow pond that is Quora, and he's pretty pathetic there, too. He doesn't engage, he makes claims that are formed as a "question", and upvotes some things. He sure as hell doesn't engage there that I've seen.
A social studies teacher (was it 8th grade or 9th grade?) that describes himself as a Mentor, Historian, Economist after some of the whoppers he's tried to pass is a certifiable crank. At least he's getting therapy. I wonder if he's as honest with his psychiatrist as he is with everyone else? That may explain why he seems to be getting worse, not better.
<i> It never looks like hysteria when you are in the middle of it. It never feels like a mania when you are being consumed by righteous zealotry. It never looks or feels like a cult when you believe it to the depths of your soul.
True believers are never swayed by the evidence. They believe the absence of empirical data is a test of their faith. They might skew the data in order to lure in those who still hold to an outmoded view of empirical science, but they themselves have given their lives to the narrative, not to the facts.
If you can still be a true believer when the facts tell another story, your status within the cult will be enhanced. If you really want to take it a step further into delirium, you should propose punishing and persecuting those who do not believe.</i>
Wow, Markto and Nikto to a T! It's about climate change, but it can be about whatever the party line is today, such as gun control. And no one follows the party line like those two on the important issues (small variances are allowed, of course, for plausible deniability of strictly following the party line).

ReplyDeleteAnd he complains that some people find his argumentative and leading questions insincere and arguing a point, not honestly asking for information.

No doubt why I'm effectively banned.
