68. 'And some of the things he did were beyond his technical capabilities'

Sun Jan 19, 2014, 11:01 PM

Jan 2014

First off, admittedly, Rogers has no way to know that except hearsay.

Secondly, it appears to be the veriest horseshit, as all the feedback from his peers was he was an uber-wizard and that's why he got whatever he wanted. Having been in that position, I can tell you it is that easy.

Thirdly, he cleaned their clock, ate their lunch, and stole their marbles, so how dumb must they be if he did that, and he is dumb (Edit: and this is what they claim to be wizards at)? And so why should I listen to them whine about it now?
