You assert that I am a racist, with no proof whatsoever. The proof did not exist before or after the rivals implosion. Yet there you are. I can't prove that you did or didn't diddle teenagers, so should I assume that you did? that would be equally silly.
A serious claim requires serious evidence, not just shit that you MADE UP OUT OF WHOLE CLOTH.

Mine might have been the Ryan White discussion where he talked about his high school bible thumpers teaching him and his classmates that AIDS was an abomination and punishment from God for being gay. But when confronted with the idea that it couldn't be true since he graduated before there was even any scientific discussion on the subject, he rolled it back to something ridiculous, like he had heard from others that it was handled that way at his old high school.
I'm also partial to the one about walking down Kirkwood high fiving strangers after the natty while listening to Don Fischer on the radio.
In the first case you are misremembering what I said. I asserted that the area I grew up with had a a troubled past with respect to bigotry. Ask Uncle Mark, he knows where I am from. I stated that the high school that I attended had vocally opposed Ryan White attending school in Indiana (but elsewhere in the state). Indeed, this opposition happened after I had graduated, and I said as much. It happened when my niece and nephew were there, so I heard about it for sure. I was saddened but not surprised that such attitudes were prevalent.
As to celebrating on Kirkwood Avenue directly in the aftermath of the game that became known as the darkest day in the history of OSU football when I was there in the late 80s, what is crazy at all about that? Have you never been happy about the outcome of a sports contest? I wasn't in Bloomington for the "natty" (recent IU-Miami football game) and I never claimed to have been. If I had been there, I would have even been happier than I was on that 31-10 day in Columbus.

You really did get me on the fact that I like listening to Don Fischer. I have used the varsity sports app so many times during the past football season and the current basketball season that my car keeps suggesting I connect to the Varsity sports app.
Does listening to Fisch bother you, somehow? That would be odd, I'd think.

Yes, darkest day in football, not the 87 natty. I did confuse those two things in your story and have once before, so I'll concede that. A rare W for you. I hope you're able to enjoy it. The rest of that is gibberish, as the timeline of the old forum doesn't jive with the recent football national championship. What's funny to me is someone on campus at that time, celebrating that event by walking alone on Kirkwood and listening to the radio. I (and other normal fans who were on campus at the time) was celebrating with friends that day. But like all the rest of your stories where you try to fit in, it's never mentioned that you were with buddies or even a group of acquaintances. You're always either alone or it involves a family member.
As far as your time at Jennings County HS, you absolutely made the claim that I wrote above and then backtracked when I reminded you that I had seen your CV, worked backwards to your HS graduation date and then posted the link to the first credited scientific paper on HIV/AIDS.
You can't keep posters straight, while there are people here remembering the GIFs used in a post, but somehow none of us remember what you said before?

That's the one! Even his nose bends unnaturally from that. Damn that had to hurt.
I had a bunch of that stuff in my Imgur account, but lost access after posting a couple of albums on the AOTF. Violation of terms of service. I should have read the fine print a little better.

What is weird at all about listening to the radio of a football game being played in Columbus OH, while working in a chem lab in the IU chem building on a Saturday afternoon? What is weird at all about then walking down Kirkwood Av. to go back to my apartment on West 6th (down by Janko's)? Should I have not listened to the game? Should I have taken the long way home? Should I have not been happy about the win?
You have some bizarre hang-ups.

When I am going home to my apartment I didn't usually take an entourage
and listening to the radio.
Do you ever listen to football games on the radio? I had a radio in the lab. I certainly wasn't carrying it down Kirkwood, though. I did go home right after the game
I (and other normal fans who were on campus at the time) was celebrating with friends that day.
Me too. Had some nice libations that night. But I was talking about the immediate aftermath of the game and how happy random people out on the street were.
it's never mentioned that you were with buddies or even a group of acquaintances. You're always either alone or it involves a family member.
again, when I am going home to my apartment I didn't usually take an entourage. I probably did go to Crazy Horse or the Irish Lion later with friends Loved both and a 5 min walk from where i lived.
Did you do the AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 BEERS challenge?
I reminded you that I had seen your CV, worked backwards to your HS graduation date
OK super-sleuth. Send me my CV to my .edu email.
You are a sad bitter stalker troll.

It's all on your lab webpage along with the photos of your fat ass. It wasn't exactly super sleuthing when you posted your job title, your university affiliation and the program to which the grant was connected while bleating about the cuts that were happening. I could just post it here instead of sending it to your uni or lab address. It's all public info. Why don't I do that? Posting it here would be much simpler.

I remember being on the old forum during the deflategate controversy and posting on the science behind it. I said that I was a chemistry professor. People (you?) called me a liar and were wrong. I said that I had a PhD in chemistry. People (you?) called me a liar and were wrong. I said I went to an Ivy League school. People (you?) called me a liar and were wrong. I said I also went to IU. People (you?) called me a liar and were wrong. I said I was a Patriots fan before Brady. People (you?) called me a liar and were wrong. So… I guess you’ve seen my background and by now have corrected at least parts of the rolodex of alleged lies you bizarrely keep on me (though you have a vivid imagination).

@shooter Like I said in the DMs. I've never said you weren't a Pats fan. To the contrary, I've mocked you for being a fan of a team that has to cheat to win and that is owned by a billionaire who gets hand jobs from sex trafficked minorities. I've never had any reason to think you didn't attend IU. I'll admit that I am amazed someone as stupid as you can hold a degree from an Ivy, so I was skeptical given your track track record of posting these yarns of yours. You keep calling me a liar and that's cool if that's all you got. I don't think anyone is buying the idea that I'm the liar in this exchange, but whatever lets you sleep at night.
You didn't answer my question above, though. Is it OK if I just post the link to your CV on here? That's one way to put an end to these perceived slights about your education. I'm happy to help in that small way. I've gone out of my way not to post any PII and realized I shouldn't have named the 2 email domains, so I've edited that.
