I think the bonnet is a part of a pram that you adjust with a spanner.

fwiw I know who Lord claims to be and while I haven't actually confirmed his identity in any rigorous way I highly doubt he's lying about it.

and you wonder why the English empire collapsed

British sex tourists getting busted with underage girls in Russia then blackmailed into spreading propaganda would be one of the least strange things about this election tbh

Seems like we need more extreme vetting of immigrants bringing their un-American values into this forum. Better ban until we can figure out just what the hell is going on.

It's 'toys out of the pram'. Pretty sure I was the first to use it in these parts'

It is an excellent expression for some posters at times. Not so much for the election which was serious business.

What does that mean? You are a clinically obese Belgian that likes to shoot stuff?

Does anyone think this guy is an actual professor though? He didn't know what peer reviewed meant either. Sounds like a janitor or something.

In what field can you be a professor while also turboposting gamergate gibberish every literal waking hour and also not understand what peer review is? Like, I was never one of those guys who thought it was implausible that ikes was really a med student, but this guy is demonstrably incapable of being what he says he is.

Or it could be that you guys simply aren't as great a judge of these things as you think you are.

Maybe at a DeVry?

He claims to be (have been?) on sabbatical

I think maybe he's guilty of implying more by the term than it really means in relation to peer review of books in the humanities by academic publishers, but otherwise I haven't seen anything that made me think he didn't understand peer review. I think the disconnect is most of the posters here think of like scientific journal article peer review and when Lord says his books were "peer reviewed" that's not what it means, of course. But AFAIK they do still use the phrase "peer review" in the context in which it appears to apply to him.

Like I said, I didn't actually verify his identity. I don't really care one way or another. I don't think it actually matters. If other people care, and if Lord wanders back in here, he can always confirm it by sending me an email from his academic email and we can have a little conversation. I can PM him my .edu email address :P

The only reason I chimed in is because I was asked if he could PM me information on his identity so I could settle this sort of dispute and I shrugged and said yes, and here we are.

SMPu Rules Under Title

Well lucky for lord, in engrish there is no bonnet to remove

Unfortunately, the fan club includes the moderators of this site. smh.

chez the hypothetical here is what you'd be doing if I was wrong about you. Like, what are you even denying here?

Do you believe I'm the only person who thinks you're a reactionary bigot?

Fly and Chez excised

Taxed?

(Curious where you moved their posts to, if that's what you did)

Be careful going into the thread excised from this excised thread. A minute in there will seem like a year.

Chezland

Is he claiming to be a professor? That seems unlikely to me given that the evidence he shared of his academic achievements. He does have a couple of degrees assuming it's legit but it doesn't extend to a doctorate.

In any case he's demonstrated that he doesn't have a grasp of the basics often enough for me to be confident that political theory / philosophy isn't his field and given that whatever academic qualifications he has doesn't inform his positions here or in PU.

I always thought it was more they hate the US and support trump so he will burn it. Kind of like reps did with trump to dems.

Europe is full of Trump supporters who vote for the Brexit and Le Pen. Stupid is a universal phenomenon.

My father in law is 69 years old,voted leave and loves Trump.
Thankfully he no longer uses racist language around me and made his first ever black friend/acquaintance at the football last year.
Voted labour but my mother in law had to look over his shoulder to make sure he wasn't voting UKIP.
He can tell you every detail of a football match from 30 years ago but struggles to remember what day it is.

Good thread that applies to most of our forum deplorables.
