WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!

You were the most prolific poster of all time. You have posts all over every thread on the forum. Your medical physics plans add some diversity to the forum, and your wry comments are fun... The forum will fall apart without you and your 5% of all posts!!

:( :( :( :( :(

Don't be discouraged when people rip apart your comments... I think the point of that post about lying about tutoring was just to reveal the reality that such scams are possible and would almost certainly not be noticed by a committee and probably couldn't be refuted even if they tried...

Twistor wasn't saying he uses fluffed resumes or cheats in any other way... but that it's quite easy to do...

I thought it was pretty obvious that was what he meant along with the fact that anyone who believes that nobody has
done that is as detached from reality as somebody who believes nobody in this planet has lied.

Man, and to think that I had tried to make a post saying that the attacks on twistor were ridiculous and that he was obviously joking around... and then the site kept acting up so I couldn't post it.

Twistor has never been one of my favorite posters, but it takes all kinds to keep a forum like this up and lively. There's been too many flame wars on this forum that have led to people deciding it's not worth it to post.

But if twistor decides it's not worth it, good for him for walking away and not getting overly worked up about it this time.

I know I said I wouldn't post anymore but I think I should clarify some things.

First, I have never tutored anyone and I did not put it on my own resume. I don't think it adds much credibililty to your CV and it certainly wouldn't be one of the items worth verifying. Do I think I would have gotten away with adding anyway? Yes, definately.

It wasn't so much the comments as much as I've been having somewhat of a stressful week. I'm most likely over-dramatizing.

Madicago.

Flame wars I can handle, even enjoy sometimes. But too often there are a few moralists and whiners who have to ruin everyone else's fun. I don't want to be professional on this website.

Not only that, I've been a cell phone commercial all along.

Don't try to understand the mechanics behind how a commercial can post. We ads are very much alive. While you sleep we steal *** from your refrigerators.

That's all there is to it.

In reality I can't make such a glorious exit. What will happen is that one day I'll get very busy and forget about this place. Or I'll offend everyone and get banned. Or the message boards will quiet down and I'll get bored.

physicsdude isn't nearly important enough to play a part in my decision to stay or leave. In fact, if he stays around I may keep coming back to discredit him even though he is my intellectual and genetic experiment. I would have to substitute his urine for mine if I ever wanted to travel into space. If you understood that reference you get a cookie.

hi twator, do you remember "inherent contradiction"? You did it again (BTW, I took the liberty to improve your quote slightly, but only because I knew that you, as a fan of such "slight" cheats, wouldn't mind). As for urine, one would need to substitute much more than that in your case, brain being a good start. And it is a safe bet Uma wouldn't look at you twice.
I notice you have improved my quote. I made a grammatical faux paus and you, being of supereur mynd and bodi, have korrected it for mi.

Many folks probably would dislike censorship as much (if not more than) the trolls. Supposedly, civil discourse alone isn't interesting enough to keep a forum alive. Not sure if I believe it, but the trolling certainly does make this a more happening place (although I think physicsdude's posts have been declining in "quality" of late.)

Look how different the forum was this time last year, lol. You 2009 guys kept this place under control :lol:.

Just wanted to ressurect (sp?) the thread with one of the greatest posts in the history of the internet:...

Oh wait nvm, I've already quoted that post like 5 times. So yea just skim through this epic thread and I'm sure you'll find which one I'm talking about haha!

I always thought that you would leave the forum after something like this this happens. I've suffered some of your posts but I think that every forum should have a trouble maker, and you're good at it! that's what keeps this place alive as many have said. I'm not interested in this place if all we do is PC talk and sing Kumbaya in front of our computers as good brothers and sisters.
