The reason I used the title Doctor McBride is if I put Jan McBride I would be afraid someone would think I was posting something by an essayist.

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.

I made my point clear in expressing the choices. You can run but you cannot hide for readers will decide for themselves.
