Kizmet offering advice on pursuit of a PhD - Little Arminius - 10-09-2008
I had not read many of Kizmet's posts prior to her elevation as mod at DI and the few I had weren't noteworthy. However, as I start paying closer attention to what she is writing, I realized that she is unique among the various characters who inhabit the DL world. Most of the RA only crowd actually believe they are experts and continually offered unsolicited advice. A few others will admit a gap in their knowledge so they ask questions. Kizmet freely admits not being very knowledgeable about DL but then offers her uninformed opinions anyway!!!
That has about as much value as Jimmy C and Brandon opining on macroeconomic policy at Degreediscussion.

I wonder if Kizmet thinks Chip's other sites are just a bunch of stylish guys with bad aim. Does she actually know she's working for a pornographer?

the problem with the internet is that the every pathetic idiot can lecture about everything...in real life you get to know the neighborhood's braggarts, mental cases and so forth and don't even allow them to say anything to you, let alone how anything is done properly.

And what is the name Shelia Danzig calls herself on the forums?
