I've been thinking about the similarities between Bob and Howard
lately. Neither man (and I use that term loosely) was able to get a Ph.D...mostly due to "political reasons." Both men have had horrible experiences on Usenet (Bob with his epic battle with phantoms, Howard with the exposure of his plagiarism) that would send a sane man running for the hills, presumably to lead a more productive life. Both men are hopelessly quixotic (Howard with his "wrecking ball," Bob with the obsession that will ultimately define his entire life...Bwian). Both men are oblivious to their shortcomings. Both men claim victory even when beaten senseless. My question is...were these men unable to get their Ph.Ds because they were crazy, or did the craziness result from not getting their Ph.Ds? Boon |

So Marc, what sort of a PhD do you have, so you can logically throw stones at these guys? My best guess is that Robert wanted a PhD because it is a way of redeeming his career as a professional student. My best guess is that Howard was involved with a profession where a PhD could have been an asset, but was frustrated in his progress for whatever reason. I never wanted a PhD because I had seen the professional progress of people in my profession who did have PhDs, and did not like what I saw. Two of my children aspired to a profession where a PhD was essentially mandatory. Their aspirations were encouraged by watching their cousin who was about their age, die an agonizing death from cancer. It turns out that anybody who has a relevant degree and reasonable grades can get a PhD free and clear from the NIH via any of several of participating schools with salary and benefits for the duration, if they are willing to be trained to fight cancer up front and personal, and do so for about 5 years up front. |

![]() BigFatLiarBorg lied: I never wanted a PhD because I had seen the professional progress of people in my profession who did have PhDs, and did not like what I saw. Either that, or your language disability prevented you from filling out the application forms. BTW, have you figured out the difference between "delude" and "illude" yet? When you do, award yourself a shiny brown star, just like the one for mastering the abstruse words "metaphor" and "simile". Arnii Krooger's motto for Usenet: "They haven't yet invented the word I can't misuse." |

He probably possesses passable personal communication skills. He was able to keep a job as a library clerk for over 25 years. Robert can't hold a job for as long'as two weeks, much less over a whole career. |

message My Master and commander observed, cogently: I never wanted a PhD because I had seen the professional progress of people in my profession who did have PhDs, and did not like what I saw. Funny thing Middiot, I did a search for degrees granted to "George Middius". According to the permanent records, you don't even have a high school degree, GED, nothing. Perhaps you were kicked out of school for playing pocket pool, messing with other little boy's privates, not being toilet trained, or what? BTW, have you figured out the difference between "delude" and "illude" yet? Why do you ask, Middiot? The Middiot's motto for Usenet: "They haven't yet invented the person that I can't abuse, including myself." Funny you should say that about yourself! |

With Bob, however, what you see is what you get, and it ain't pretty. Boon |

Well, in the interest of full disclosure, my socks and shoes are full too.. Kroo, you're very sick and you need help. Continuing to abuse yourself and your family is not the answer. Look, Shhhh! won't do my daughter or my wife, and neither of them will do me any more. I've run out of money from the 1-900 calls, and my palms and pecker are blistered. I'm getting even more desperate and my pastor won't talk to me any more. He said if I ever came near him he'd call the police. GOIA, you're really not very good at editing quoted text. But this sudden rash of honesty from you is refreshing. ;-) |

Not one person has said "Hey, Bob's right!" Refusing to read your article on listening shows he's more into games than communication. It disproved his claims rather succinctly. He refused to entertain the fact that he could be wrong about something. I did a Google search on Bob a couple of days ago, and the amount of negative stuff about him was overwhelming. Sure, there was the normal Bwian nonsense, but there were quite a few people who flat out wanted nothing to do with him. I saw him get kicked off of discussion forums, etc. There's a real pattern of behavior here, and it's pretty self-destructive. But it's the Internet. I've seen worse. Boon |

Until recently you were in my kill-file because of your battles and it wasn't worth the trouble to sort you out from your nemesis. If you persist in starting attack threads, you'll return to it. You know Bob, I agree with Stephen here. In my opinion you do have much to contribute and I think you're a good guy, but this stuff with Marc is beneath you. The truth is that I like both you and Marc and have learned from both of you. But this battle isn't very flattering to either of you. RAO would be a much better place if you guys decided to killfile each other and move on. I have killfiled Bob, but it doesn't really work when everyone is still responding to him, and I can read his comments in their posts. I genuinely thought Bob's behavior would lead most of the people here to ignore him as well. If someone else other than me was the target of his derision, I would have nothing to do with him. Oh, wait...I already made that decision years ago. I always thought his online battles with Bwian were the nadir of Internet activity, showing the whole medium at its worst. When Bob came on here a few years ago and tried to join along, his was criticized pretty roundly and was sent on his way. In recent years, he's come on her all warm and fuzzy, and those who have forgotten his battle with Bwian seem to think "he's okay now." But his little vendetta against me proves one thing...Bob can't help himself. Newsgroup after newsgroup, forum after forum, Bob has eventually gone berserk and has been asked to leave. I don't have any problem with leaving if Bob stays and is allowed to continue with this type of behavior. While it would be nice if RAO could be this utopia where knowledge could be freely exchanged, the truth is that it isn't, and Usenet in general has become "that bad neighborhood" of the Internet. If you come to Usenet for knowledge and advice, maybe you need a few slaps in the face before you realize there are better places to get that. Bob is one of those creepy guys hanging out in the back alley, and most people should walk on the other side of the street when they see him. Boon |
