I'm just wondering why we should take DrRosen at his word about going after his PHD? He's been caught in one lie, said he was a newbie then later claimed he was not
Say what? I was called a newbie by others. Given that I'd only visited the site very occasionally, making fewer than 100 posts, usually popping in once or twice over X-mas holidays from college. I didn't lie about anything. By time as a member, I suppose I'm not a newbie. By number of posts or familiarity with CKA's cast of characters, I am. Does it matter? It's a meaningless label. Apply it how you see fit.

and I've not seen a confirmation on the PM threat that he said Bart sent him. I'll hold judgment on his supposed expertise till further prof or he actually shows a competent grasp on the subject. Just saying something is so does not make you knowledgeable on a subject.
You're right on that last point. And I have no desire to teach. That's not my purpose for being here. But I am going to shout "bullshit" when I hear loony internet conspiracy nonsense like Muslim bashing, climate change denial, 911 "truths" and the like. That shit's like children of the 50s learning American history from Bugs Bunny. As for Bart's threat, I leave it to those of you who know Bart better than I to decide whether you believe he'd play the internet toughguy with someone for disagreeing with him. I don't really care whether you believe it or not.

And when exactly did this become a bash fest of N-Fiddledog, Martin, Bart vs Gunnair, Desertdude, DrRosen? With a side of Islam vs Christianity in the field of atrocities?
I'm too much a newbie to say, but it likely comes from halfway sane and knowledgeable people calling out internet lunatics when they post their ignorant and hateful beliefs in vain attempts to compensate for their pathetic lives as virtual miscreants because they haven't the guts to live out tjeir twisted fantasies in the real world.
