Quel dommage

[Sean]

It should be simple enough to find out.

Even for you.

And what do you mean by that exactly?

[quaddriver]

Andrew, he has, is, done nothing. Ignore him.

[Andrew D]

And while you're at it, maybe ask bigskygal how many libraries her published work is in.

In case you're still harboring doubts, try looking here and here.

So, are you ready to man up about your reference to "submitting posts in internet forums"?

Are you ready to admit that you didn't have the faintest fucking idea what you were talking about?

And that you didn't care?

Time will tell ....

[Andrew D]

I mean what I wrote.

You should try that some time.

But in the extremely unlikely event that you really need further explanation, simply contrast your willfully ignorant

It's worth pointing out that submitting posts in internet forums does not make one a published author.

against my superabundant proof that I am, in fact, a published author -- not just on internet forums, but in the real world.

Speaking of the real world, have you dropped by here lately?

You should consider it.

[loCAtek]

They can't, they don't, they only rub their dicks against facsimile.

I'm asking again nicely Andrew. What did you mean by that little quip?

[Sean]

Andrew, he has, is, done nothing. Ignore him.

LMAO - So because I don't feel the urge to brag and make-up shit on the internet means I have done nothing?

Try living in the real world Quad. You know, the one with trees, oxygen and jobs.

I can't speak to anybody else's breadth of knowledge/experience (I'm assuming Gob's is fairly extensive), but I have a great deal of confidence in my ability to make logical assumptions based on extensive exposure to the behavior of any particular individual.

I'll slip into BTI mode a moment more and share that in addition to the two Bachelors degrees + one minor I earned at Uni, I was also just 6 courses short of a BS in Zoology, and a couple of courses short of yet another minor, in Psychology.

In addition to those formal studies as an undergraduate, I have read thousands of pages over the years in the field - not just 'pop' psychology, but journal articles and scholarly books. I find the subject fascinating, especially given that the field of law is a canvas upon which human psychology manifests itself.

In the past decade+ that I've been involved in family and criminal law, I've read literally hundreds of psychological evaluations of clients and defendants and children, prepared by actual psychologists and psychiatrists. I know my way around the DSM better than anybody here but Gob, I'd wager. I know the tests that are utilized to evaluate subjects, and how behaviors over time are factored into diagnoses.

I've had opportunity to know a few truly mentally ill people in my life up close & personal - editec was just one. It doesn't escape my notice how similar AGD's grandiose pronouncements are to the ones we used to read from edi, the USDHHS certified narcissist.

Any reasonably educated person can spot the self esteem issues loCA has and can identify from watching her descent into trolldom, since being 'thrown over' by the pair from Oz, that she is acting out as any borderline personality would. Given her history as she's shared it with us herself, she clearly has suffered from volatile relationships most of her life. She's admitted a significant addiction problem that she refuses to seek treatment for in any meaningful way.

This is not rocket science, drawing logical and reasonable assumptions about these posters.

As to quad - I've read so many truly bizarre posts from him that so blatantly misstate reality as the majority of the posters here have perceived it . . . well, he clearly has something going on and I'd venture a guess its NPD.

I know some folks really dislike rubato and sometimes he bugs me, but I don't detect mental illness, not even when I'm really outraged at something he's posted. Scooter, Sue, Guin, Gob, Hen, Sean, Daisy, Stoat, oldr, Big RR, Econoline, Long Run, @w, Jarlaxle, Timster, dgs, liberty, liberty1, kristina, etc. - all have personality quirks, but none have ever posted repeatedly in such a way as to indicate mental health issues.

Me? I'm quirky and at times rude and at times wrong and at times oversensitive - but I've never engaged in a pattern of posting that indicates mental illness. I suffer from a bit of depression now and again, but that's all.

I believe we have three posters with PDs - given the size of the board, it's only to be expected.

I'd love to see the three of them take a 30 day break so it can be proved that there won't be a 'next' 'victim'. Anybody who was paying attention knows very well that loCA started the disharmony surrounding her by belatedly editing prior posts to alter the substance, thus screwing with the responses of others. Then she began trolling the Oz couple in response to their rejection of her. I know this; I was in contact with her and knew the extent of her feelings about the rejection.

quad has hated this place and acted accordingly from the start.

AGD's antics are recent enough that everyone recalls them.

If my armchair diagnoses are correct, these three won't leave - they can't control themselves. If I'm wrong, it certainly seems the healthy response to being told one isn't really appreciated is to find a place where one is - voluntarily.

[Andrew D]

Must we always go over everything again and again and again, Sean?

You posted this:

And you posted this:

Had you bothered to spend even a modicum of time on the matter, you could easily have discovered that my claim to be a published author is not based on anything which one could, before I wrote it, have found on Google. You could easily have discovered that my claim to be a published author is not based on any "submitt[ed] post[ing]s on internet forums".

You could easily have discovered that my claim to be a published author is based on the simple fact that I am a published author.

Is there something difficult about this?

[loCAtek]

Holy frijole, yet I can keep a boyfriend, while you can't BSG?


You can judge me, how again?


Who wants to be close to you, without net miles between you , 'eh?


...sorry, you brought it up, now deal.

[Gob]

Who cares about, and of what relevance is any of your published work Andrew?

What do you want of this board?

[loCAtek]

It tops your published work in spades.

[quaddriver]

woudl that be why I am in it and you are 'ahem', *here*?

Im not going to get into the detail that Andrew did, but I as well have easily verifiable accomplishments in said real world. Many of the readers over the last decade have looked em up.

the reality is, you *do not*, which is why, you are *here*.

People do grow tired of insolent neverwas's

the fact that you, nor anyone else can ever seem to point out this 'made up shit', speaks volumes for intelligence - specifically your lack of it.

[Scooter]

Holy frijole, yet I can keep a boyfriend, while you can't BSG?

Anyone can keep a bf if they lower their standards enough.

And the fact that you believe a woman's measure of worth is the lengths to which she will go to please a man, that explains A LOT.

[loCAtek]

Of which you manless know what?

So asking nicely doesn't help...

It should be simple enough to find out.

Even for you.

Have you got the intelligence or common courtesy to answer my question or are you just going to keep wittering on about your 'achievements'?

[quaddriver]

IIf my armchair diagnoses are correct, these three won't leave - they can't control themselves. If I'm wrong, it certainly seems the healthy response to being told one isn't really appreciated is to find a place where one is - voluntarily.

'scuse me:

bwhahahaha

I am closer to my masters in psych than you are to your 'minor', and unlike you, I have the credits and transcripts to PROVE it. (Gob as we are aware, has NO transcripts)

What are you degrees in BSG? Mine are CS and EE. Easy subjects.

But enuf on that, for one who wants to engage in armchair diagnosis', your post was just DUMB.

Should we point out your proven pattern of not being able to commit long term to any task, endeavor or JOB?

It was not an accident that I started calling you 'location gal', without ever really caring about the excuse du jour you gave.

Apparently everyone you work for turns into the asshole.

but enuf on that as well.

You might wanna dial up that DSM, and diagnose your habit of storming off, finished with the place, to turn up a week later, once even under another handle. (and recall which 'idiot' busted you) truth hurts dont it?

How is the book coming?

edited to add: If you *had* actually taken ANY psych courses other than the 100 series single course required as part of your undergrad studies, you would have realized that in the internet day and age, a person with NPD would create at LEAST one internet 'its all about meeee!' presence. Like, um, I dunno, your hero? (current count:2 that we can prove, 3rd suspected) Christ on a stick. I seriously hope you think better than that in your job.

[BoSoxGal]

AGD, you really are a bit of a sad case, aren't you?

A long paper solo authored and a shorter long paper co-authored almost 20 years ago and you are nearly bursting out of your itchy skin with egomania.

As you very well know, a true legal scholar would have published many, many times since - rather than languishing in insurance defense hackland. Yay for you, you put some work into a worthy cause. Once it impressed me, until I saw so much more evidence of your actual character. If the Dalai Lama pissed you off, you'd shit on him, too - I've no doubt of it. You are a malignant narcissist, sir.

You know I've got classmates from law school only eleven years out who've published many times more than you, and are in the majority of the libraries you listed. I'm sure they've never once bothered listing them, though. They're not narcissists.

No, I've not yet published in a law journal. I blew it off in school, against my professor's advice. (I also passed on assisting a leading Constitutional law scholar with researching, writing & editing his then most recent book, because I preferred clerking at PDS in DC). I am currently working on polishing my article on law in Elizabethan theatre for submission, however, because it's a specific focus that no prior scholar has presented and it should be available in academia for law & literature students alike. I am a published short fiction author, and am presently working on my first book.

Every day I work on behalf of my fellow citizens despite the long hours and low pay. Not because I'm a dullard and couldn't have done 'better' - but because since pre-pubescence I've been a Tolstoyan who truly believed life wasn't really about personal gain, but about service to one's fellow man. I don't judge others who choose more material pursuits, except when they try to shove their perceived superiority down my throat.

It's amusing and sad at the same time, how you can't stand not being adored here as you fiercely believe you should be, and how it drives you to be competitive toward someone you've just declared WAY inferior to you.

You are not my intellectual superior. And I'm not sure that your character places you ahead of anybody who posts here - maybe quad?

[Andrew D]

Who cares about, and of what relevance is any of your published work Andrew?

What do you want of this board?

Your buddy Sean apparently.

He's the one who tried to demean it, so it must have meant something to him.

[Gob]

If you hadn't raised them, and boasted about them, I'm sure he would not have.

Again, what do you want from this board?
