Quote: PFFT! Who was the first to bring the issue of degrees up? Me or you? YOU DID. You are no better than the people you criticize. YOU tried to "shame" my degrees...I only laughed because you are the last person who should have. As well, you try the "guilt by association" trick claiming that I am an associate of the degreeinfo crowd, a "RA cartel shill" or something. People will judge for themselves. Again, given you shameless promotion of what to me is the sham Sorbon franchise, one might doubt WHO the real shill here is.
Not to mention your other finishing move, the "I am real-life smart and need no phony title because real life counts more than parchments" item, which begs why did you bother acquiring one...chicken&egg, huh?
You should display more coherence.
As far as I go, I said eons ago I'd buy a phony degree if it suited my interest, knowing it is no better than a $19.99 Ebay "paratrooper ID".
As far as unaccredited degrees go, I do not advocate persecution of holders (everybody can buy a "karate black belt ID") , but -in sensitive areas- I advocate unambiguous disclosure: you wouldn't want your son or mother assisted by a "doctor" with an ebay degree who "forgot" to mention this when offering his services as a psychologist, law or health-care practitioner or something.
And yes, smart people will spot that a mile ahead, but the majority are not smart...they wanted to "nuke the frogs" a few years back, and to make them a monument more recently.
Please answer my question Mr Hamster - instead of going off on a tangent and saying nothing!
You might also let DLT readers know why you think ESRS is a 'mill' - a stance you have taken since 2004 and written thousands of words about it: so many words in fact that you could have earned a real degree!
