Whatever Happened to the Old Gang?

[Randall Flagg]

We know that Quinn tired of the abuse at DI/DD and destroyed and repudiated the doctorates he earned through brilliant work.  His unaccredited academic work was probably more quoted in subsequent doctoral level research than anyone on these forums.  Has a glass jaw with which he leads.

We know that Peter sucked up to the DI/DD guys.  Peter flip-flopped a lot over the years but used to be an advocate of and a 4 time doctor from unaccredited schools.  A couple of them were real schools.  

Kersey seems to be doing the preacher thing and I haven't noticed his eloquence in any posts anywhere.  I think he tired of it all.  Another really talented guy.

I think Henrik got tired of the irrational abuse and moved on.

Jimmy used to be a supporter of unaccredited schools but now is just as likely to attack them.  So desparately wants approval from the toe suckers.

Neil and James are here.  I'm sure Redlyne Racer is here.  Dennis is here.

It just isn't as much fun as it used to be.  The toe suckers are afraid to leave their safe houses and debate seriously.  This site has done much to discredit the mouths at DD/DI but it isn't a lot of fun anymore.   5 - 10 years ago  it was a blast.

I feel sory for Quinn. As you say, he had a glass jaw and was devestated when the wrecking crew went after him. Burning his degrees was beyond my understanding. He earned them and had no reason to buckle under. I can imagine how the gang howled in glee as the smoke rose into the air.

Kersey, probably did see the dark at the end of the tunnel and said to hell with it and moved on.

Henrik, is still around, but I doubt he will get involved. He has a school to run and there is no chance of any meaningful dialog with people unwilling to hear. But who knows, he might just decide to kick some tail again.

We started hitting them (DI/DD) where it really hurts, their provable lies. When you write books saying 2+2=4, and then post at many different sites that it doesn't equal 4, well, you get your butt in a big crack. When you say you owned 25% of something and then say you really owned 50% of the same thing, people start saying, wait a minute, both can't be true. Instead of just slapping them around we started showing their out-and-out lies. The boys couldn't stand that much heat and bailed out. Who could blame them. They have told the same stories so many different ways they can't remember the truth themselves today.  

I know what you mean. A lot of the old fun has left.  

You know I guess it's our own fault. We proved they were telling lies instead of just calling them liars. When you start quoting people who have constantly moving stories, well, you get the idea.
