Reply #45: Here's the "corner" I painted myself into, anonymous one

[Fly by night]

I repeated three times that it is appropriate to prepare for another pandemic, but you kept asking me to answer your "yes/no" question for which the above statement provided the answer. Repetition still didn't get through to you. Why is that?

You questioned my credentials as an epidemiologist but refused to allow me to send you my resume. (For others here, I will post a link below that will allow anyone here to read my full resume. I couldn't care less whether you do or not.)

You hide your identity here at DU, giving us no information about yourself whatsoever. I do not. My profile includes the same link I will list below. It also includes a number of ways to reach me.

You claim to have been here longer than me, but (again) by having no profile to document that fact, you expect me (and everyone else) to accept that on faith. Why should we, when most of us play by different rules than you do.

You post an inflammatory thread calling DUers "ignorant" but you give none of us any basis for judging your own credentials on this or any other public health issue.

You are simply an anonymous, hostile, foundationless, clueless pos(t)er.

You either have something to hide or you have nothing to stand on. Of course, it could be both of the above.

Either way, the decision to "ignore" you was a good one. BTW, I just checked my short "ignore" list and two of the three pos(t)ers on it have already been tombstoned. So enjoy your time here, ye anonymous one.

It was worth taking you off "ignore" for a minute to see what other nonsense you posted. You're not worth my being tempted to do that again.

Here's a little look at the basis for my opinions as an epidemiologist. Feel free to post your own, or keep hiding behind your wall of anonymity. Whatever you do certainly means nothing more to me.
