do you really think I am dishonest or incompetent because I asked that question?
I never did address your asking the question. I merely addressed how you made such an obvious error in misappropriating a title.... and I questioned that.
I dont use titles often, so I guess you got me there
Well, that's interesting. Let's see what we find in your previous posts.
Arioch7: I get some of my info from Dr. Squat... Fred Hatfield who is the man! 127 [I don't know whether Fred Hatfiled is a doctor or a power lifter or both -- I do know that you used the "Dr." title.]
Arioch7: Not to be a wise guy but isn't Mr. Atkins sick?323
Arioch7: from an essay by Dr. McBride... 329
So out of the three posts where you did refer to titles twice you used the "Dr." title and once used the erroneous "Mr." title. You used titles in referring to different people probably more than any other poster on this thread. You bring to question your claim that you don't use titles often.
You chose which?...
For a person stating they are serious to refer to a doctor (Dr. -- a doctor that has been mentioned several dozen times on this thread) as mister (Mr.) has been one or the other -- intentionally dishonest or, ignorant of your own denial thus simply incompetent -- you chose.333
Dr. Squat IS a doctor but that is more of a nickname. Do you really think that Dr. Squat is a prestigous title?
Obviousley, you know that Dr. Atkins is a Doctor, you might not know some of the other people I am quoting so I added the title.
I dont use titles for men like Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams who I very deeply respect and admire. As a matter of fact, I DONT use titles that often. I used them so as not to sabotage my point. The way you are attacking me for not using the title Dr. makes me wonder... what do you want to do? Say I am sorry? Become an Atkins man? What? Admit that I am a liar? Admit I am a moron?
That is how you are debating me? So since I dont use the title Dr. I am wrong? I had a conversation in which I said that people that INSIST on others calling them Doctors can be really pompous and overbearing. So, if it makes you happy, I will refer to him as Dr. Atkins.
BTW, you will note that I used Fred Hatfields name and used Dr. only when I said Dr. Squat which I have already explained. I know he wouldn't mind, he does not have an inferiority complex.
