Narcissistic Personality Disorder

A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:

• has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
  
• preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
  
• believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
  
• requires excessive admiration
  
• has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
  
• is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
  
• lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
  
• is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
  
• shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

What do we find on 4 February 1975?

At last, a move to drive out the pedlars of bogus degrees

"Two Americans-Dr John Bear and Dr James Campbell- sold degrees from West Hill House, Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. They described themselves as two men of unimpeachable academic credentials but said they needed £25,000 to start a new college. "So we have decided to sell honorary doctorates to raise the money to start our school. We might have chosen to sell magazines, or flowering shrubs or vitamins. But we are selling honorary doctorates, very beautiful and utterly meaningless pieces of paper." Just one advertisement in an American paper sold 10,000 dollars worth of degrees at the end of 1972, they said."

And you all thought they were doing it for charity!

Disappointing news from Toelicker Central:

John?Bear Wrote:Gregg appeared (unannounced) on the doorstep of a forum participant in another state, earlier this year. It was apparently rather challenging and difficult moment, and said person has chosen not to write about it.

Bear tries to play it off, but it is obvious he feels slighted by the NY Times.

"Peaceforall" is now taking the proverbial dirtnap.

Without question, my most frequent complaint as an Admin is that I don't take action against negative posters quickly enough.

While I think that complaint does has some merit, as I usually try to give anyone the benefit of the doubt to almost the extreme, I've moved quickly in this case.(UNQUOTE)

Those peckerheads can't handle a civil argument. Tait continues his history of abuse. Abuse of civil rights. Abuse of sick days. Abuse of forum guests. Have another donut Tait. You still fit into the chair.

What a way to win an argument. If you can field the points he's making, give him the boot. That's been done a few times. And the mindless sheep eat it up. Wonder why everyone at degreeinfo is in total agreement?

The Truth:

Anyone who believes one word the Nigerian government would print is an asshole.

As usual, George Gollin (George D. Gollin, George Dana Gollin) is acting the shill for the RA cartel and government prosecutors.  He's posted all the government's stuff but not a word from Dixie.

So in fairness here's a link to Dixie's sentencing memo.  This is quite a contrast to the large pile of garbage the government has presented.  Very effective, concise and does not rely on bootstrapping self-serving newspaper articles.  Does not need a shill to explain the important parts either.  Look for howls of outrage come July when she gets zero jail time.

Note the attachment refers to Ron Pellar's sentencing (8 months total on 9 counts, despite previous convictions for attempted murder and fraud).

If Gus is going to take his trademark cheap shots at our members, then we'll have to take the gloves off as well.
