A BIG OPPORTUNITY FOR DOOGLEARSE

[dooglearse]

Can you please point out where exactly did I say "inappropriate" or something? I think I did not. If I did not, what is that you have destroyed, exactly?

Quite right. It was said by another anonymous poster (with 5 posts total). My mistake.

By your standards then, every telemarketer could get a doctorate tomorrow by virtue of the thousands of survey calls he made...or not?
My opinion is he could, like that guy who surveyed the presence of 70 immigrants. It isn't illegal...it is a short-cut. There are surveys AND surveys...you did not survey say the marriage records of an entire county during 2 centuries...did you?
If you notice, I said nothing about surveys in general.

This is why I merged the two--same argument. But whether it's coming from one or two directions (hard to tell), it is false. There are many types of surveys and mine certainly was an appropriate method in order to test my hypotheses. That you have a different opinion is fine, but you're not backing it up with any authority. You cite neither your own qualifications to make such an assessment, nor authoritative sources that support it.

Beef? You've opened the season on ducks for 7 pages...come on guys, let it rest.

I offered to do just that, but he continued. Note who started this thread as well. It is imbalanced to equate us. I'm the respondent, not the initiator. It will rest when he stops posting one unfounded (and ridiculously premised) lie after another in threads he initiates.

You are learning devil advocacy from dr. Duck quite well...my qualifications are impressive, as you can see in my signature: the best education money can buy.
Authoritative sources? What sources? I said you went for a shortcut...you say it was top quality work...I said I saw such shortcuts being taken by people to take easy ways out...you say it met due academic standards...
There is no Oxford Journal of Taken Shortcuts to refer to.
What's a shortcut to me is platinum work for another, right?
My only point here is to show that you can use the same arguments as owners of dodgy degrees do, when it suits your purpose.
Nothing to be ashamed of...read Schopenhauer's ART OF CONTROVERSY...it's all in there...
Expertise?
I have so far studied with more DL schools than you can ever dream of...at least 6 in 3 different countries, all accredited.

But there's no "you." Because "you" don't have an identity, there's no "you."

But since you don't name them along with yourself, this really hasn't happened. Sorry.

Okay, but I remember you calling me a LIAR some years ago when I stated that I'd had over 30-years experience in DL education. Well that DL experience now covers 42-years, as I am still employed as a Adjunct Tutor for the southern hemisphere's largest DL establishment.

Nope. Oh, you're a supreme liar, but you'll have to prove I said it about that particular claim.

Your memory is obviously completely stuffed because you actually apologised when you found out is was perfectly true! This was on one of the five DL discussion groups that became extinct after your involvement.

I have discussed and recommended them in threads over these sites. But I see where you're getting at...

Schopenhauer says:

If you find that you are being worsted, you can make a diversion— that is, you can suddenly begin to talk of
something else, as though it had a bearing on the matter in dispute, and afforded an argument against your
opponent. This may be done without presumption if the diversion has, in fact, some general bearing on the
matter; but it is a piece of impudence if it has nothing to do with the case, and is only brought in by way of
attacking your opponent.

In fact, whoever I may or may not be has no bearing in the contention of Dooglearse in fact using some of the tricks or excuses owners of milled degree are known to use.

For example, a former owner/peddler/director of schools he now refers to as degree mills, who was reported as a millist in the press, with no legitimate academic experience, is for Dooglearse the greatest authority on legitimate distance learning...the only one he could turn to in order to assess his thesis...perhaps because the 2 were friends...

By this very 'logic', I can see how dr. Duck can say his degrees were more than kosher...
For Dooglearse the logician...
1 I didn't say Bear could theoretically not evaluate a thesis per se: he has a legitimate doctorate, but he has no traditional academic experience.
2 Dooglearse could try to counter the point saying Bear did run schools that were 'legitimate' when he was there, and went mill after his departure. Very thin point. Many owners of milled degrees say the same thing.

Repeating the lie doesn't prove it.

Your inability to back up anything you say really brings in to question other things unrelated that you've written and said.

Since you're occupying yourself with both sides of a discussion of you're own making, I'll refrain from joining.

Of my own making?
Oh well, I thought we had some 5 pages left to go...too bad...
