   That's right Al but it has nothing to do with being clever, it has to do with
   refusing to have my attention deflected from the real issues by this
   irrelevant crap. It has to do with
   spending the time at the library  studying the facts of these issues
   and the records of the candidates. 

Right, just like I said, Dok, you are just too fucking smart for the rest
of us.

It is called working to become an
   INFORMED voter instead of a blind sheep or a random number generator.

No, you just lord your Doktorate over all of us you big genius you.

   You can bank on the fact that most of the boo-birds at that race track have
   not and will not do make any attempt to get the facts.

I can?  Just how do you know Mr. (excuse me, Dr.) smart ass??

   I hope you don't think that insulting me because of the use of my title
   in my .sig is a substitute for intelligent debate. 

Insutling you?  I too have a Ph.D.  I learned, the hard way, many years
ago not to even think about lording that over others.  You are a snotty
intellectual know it all who thinks he is smarter than the rest of
humanity.  When asked for facts you can't supply a one except your
"knowledge".

I have explained why that
   title is in my postings so many times now I could spit. However, since I
   spent 8 years of my life toiling to get the degree while living in poverty,
   I will
   not apologies for having the title. I have more than earned the right to use
   it.

Yeah, well, bucko so did I.  I lived in poverty too.  I spent a lot of
time too.  Big fucking deal.  You're a snotty asshole who thinks he knows
something.  Shit man I wouldn't dream of signing my postings with my
Ph.D.  In fact the only time I ever mentioned it on the net was in
response to your snooty shit.  Its clear that your are one of those
nitwits who thinks because he has a Doktorate that he is somehow
superior.  The fact is that I once thought that myself about myself.
Life has taught me different (if I can be allowed a little grammar
license).

Do you know, you asshole, that you criticized somebody else's spelling
with a sentence that included a mispelling?

   By the way, the smiley you ignored is there for the humor-impaired like
   yourself.

On the contrary I am not humor impaired, just ask anybody who knows me,
like bzs.  I chose to ignore it.  Why?  Because it's people like you who
like to make "nigger" jokes and then include a smiley and think that
makes it all right.
