A minor scholar, an economist by the name of Thomas DiLorenzo

Now isn't that interesting. It seems our good friend Richard is making his argument against 'the Real Lincoln' by attacking DiLorenzo's personal scholarly credentials. This claim is very peculiar as it reveal as much about its author as it does about the person he's attacking. Let's compare these two individual's scholarly credentials:

Dr. Thomas J. DiLorenzo -
Professor of Economics, Loyola College (Maryland)
Amazon.com identifies him as the author of at least 11 published books.
An academic journal database search has multiple hits for DiLorenzo as a published author.

Dr. Richard Ferrier -
Tutor, Thomas Aquinas College (California)
Amazon.com identifies him as the author of ZERO published books. His college's website identifies him as the co-author of a forthcoming "e-textbook" that is available for download off the internet.
An academic journal database search identifies Ferrier as the author of ZERO published journal articles out of several hundred listings searched.

And in the unlikely event that rdf is still out there watching...sorry Dick, but you'd be advised to look in the mirror first the next time you wish to call somebody else a "minor scholar." Other than that, have a nice day!
