Thanks for proving my point.

Dammit, Bomba, now you've done it. We had him on the ropes before that...

Yet another predictable response--so far gone you don't recognize the
trait in yourself. (Maybe it's an aftereffect from the brainwashing.)

And while we're on the subject of psychology--despite the degree you
hold, you are not licensed to practice psychology (at least not in the
state of California where you reside). Don't pretend to be something
that you're not.

Last I looked, one doesn't need a license to tell the truth. You should try it
some time.

Lucky for you - they'd have pulled your license years ago.

M^V is no more a "psychologist" than someone with a degree in History who
works at 7-11 is an historian.

Doctor of Pedagogy in Psychology. You profess to teach that which you
admittedly do not understand yourself.

Nice.

Just nice.

Yes it does. Expertise in scientific method and interpreting mountain

knowledge to report on the OBVIOUS damage done by mountain biking.
Anyone can do it, as long as they are HONEST (that rules out all
mountain bikers).



All mountain bikers are dishonest. Sounds like a pretty stand-up
hypothesis.

I'm going to go ahead and step out on a limb and divine that you in fact
have no higher degree than a B.S. tops.

I wouldn't even be surprised if you were a high school student with the
maturity of your debating skills.

Thats the joy of the internet, though. We all can try to pretend to be
whatever we want.

If you'll excuse me I've got to go pick up my Congressional Medal
of Honor before heading down to Cape Canaveral for my moon walk
this evening.

I'm going to go out on a limb and divine that I'm not the only one who's
putting you in my killfile. If you continue to bite on every hook that the
troll tosses to you, you might find someday (if you ever want to post
something actually bike-related) that no one is listening. Bye!
