More excuses for why you only engage trivialities, and spend a fair amount of time on them here. One would think trying to engage in substance would be preferable no matter what they think of this place or it's participants.

DrW doesn't know, and, more significantly, doesn't care to understand, why those facts are relevant. He is, as I suggested (but did not explain in detail), essen...

Can someone help me here. Why would Ritner excuse himself in determining if Gee should receive a Phd, if Ritner himseld didn't think he deserved it and had the reasons, data, to support his opinion?
