I said:
this "Michelle" thing is beyond the pale.
Mark Tindall says:
Please address me politely and respectfully
You aren't polite or respectful to anybody. I began
in this newsgroup by responding to you politely
and respectfully, albeit contradicting you where
I disagree with you. A contradiction
is not an insult, but you chose instead the path of
insult, as you did with everybody else (and
even sometimes in cases where they agreed with you), and
hence there can be no respect for you in my responses
to you.
Mark:
as "Professor Michelle"
You are not a Professor of anything, Mark. Moreover,
in my circle (university academics I mean), we do
not stand on titles (I am technically not a "Professor"
by the way, which is a job title, but I am technically
"Doctor Morris"---but I'd only use that if, say, with
Morris Machine Co., I had business cards or something).
Mark:
or "Your Highness"
This is what I meant by sophomoric. You aren't royalty
either, and I'm not sure I would address real royalty by "Your
Highness" in the first place.
I wrote:
The problem is that it is close enough in spelling to my real name
Mark:
So?
So, stop posting under a name *that isn't your name*, and
which attempts to mimic somebody else's. Simply sign
everything you write with your own name, which is Mark
Tindall, and not Michelle.
Mark:
Change your name.
Put an end to it right now, Mark. I have never done you the slightest
touch of wrong in years of putting up with your execrable behaviour.
Put a limit on that behaviour right now and get yourself under control.
By the way, found any evidence yet that teacher certification makes
for better learning by students than from learning from their parents
at home? You know, some cites to papers proving that cherished belief
of yours?
