1) How do you know it is not me ?
May be is just the angle, we all have an angle from which we look passable, in my case I have to minimize my thining hair ! Or did the prospect of some other ->-bleeped-<- looking better than you threathens you ? I do not not know which one is motivating you, unlike you, I am not omniscient
I knew it wasn't you. My point was that you shouldn't use someone else's private pic as your avatar. A famous person is fine, but a girl who has no idea you are using it is kinda unethical. That was my entire point. If I done the same thing I would have expected someone else to say the same thing to me. People have used my pics before as themselves and it doesn't feel good when my identity has been taken.
That avatar did not have thinning hair. Nor was it at an angle to make you pass. It was an amateur pic of a girl smiling outside. I wasn't responding to critique the picture.
The only thing that was motivating me was the girl's privacy and her face being displayed on a forum that she probably doesn't know about.
Quote2) Or how do you that a relative gave me the picture ? You just have to assume the worst!
See my next explanation after this one.
QuoteYou once already demanded proof for me?
You emailed me. I didn't email you. Furthermore, in your first email, you told me that you have two master degrees, a Ph.D, and a M.D., without me even asking you. You said, quote:
"I earned a MS in biochemistry, a MD (residence in cancer), a PhD in biotechnology, and more recently a MS engineering".
For someone earning such high level degrees, I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt the avatar was not you. The avatar was a girl in her very early twenties. To get the degrees you stated to me in an email, you would have been at least thirty eight years old and that is considering you breeze through all degrees starting at the age of 18 with a Bachelor's and doing some of the graduate courses simultaneously and back to back (not including M.D. residence). Not even the television fictional character "Doogie Howser, M.D" could have pulled that off.
Secondly, I never demanded proof from you. I asked to see some of your publications because if this was true, the readings would have been extraordinary and I gave you the benefit of the doubt; which I will explain further in the next writings down:
QuoteDid you ever consider that the reason that I have to tell half truths or ommit things or hide my identity is because otherwise my life would be in danger! Do you need proof ? Coming from a future preacher is kind of surprising, a total lack of faith or compassion.
Yes. You stated this as the reason why you wouldn't show me any of your publications. Someone would kill you if I were to read them and inadvertently gave out your identity to your Doctoral Peers. Which brings me to my other point why I know the avatar wasn't you:
You say your life would have been in danger if you sent me a copy of your publications and/or medical journals through
gmail.com but you felt it was safe enough to display your own picture as your avatar on a very popular transgender website. Do you see the problem?
Just a side note: the final email I sent you where I stated that I doubt the amount of degrees you received was because of the sheer number of misspelling errors in both your posts here and your emails and your posting behavior on these forums where you went back and forth with Masha...someone with two doctorates; one in Medicine and the other in Biotechnology would never have acted like that. Also, your misspellings are misspellings that a spell checker in any web browser would have fixed simply by clicking on the red underline word. And you stated you misspell a lot of words because you are a foreigner....well...I know many "foreigners" who are getting their doctoral degrees in the US and have perfect English skills.
Would you like to know why?
Because Universities in the U.S. for both the undergraduate and graduate programs require you to take an "English as a Second Language" exam to show the school you have the ability to understand the professors in English and to write and take tests in English. At the graduate level and especially the post graduate level this English Exam is even more strict where they gauge your grammar as papers and thesis are crucial to the development of the degree you are pursuing.
You told me you had a team of proof readers. You don't get that luxury as a student taking the English entrance exams or the GRE (Graduate Records Examination).
And to give you idea about grammar...I had to do a paper rewrite this semester because I used "weak" verbs rather than "strong" verbs. So if my professor did not like the selection of verbs I used (he hates the words "is" "for" "of" etc) and made me rewrite the paper then I am positive you would not have passed any of those papers with your grammar issues at a graduate level....not to mention the post graduate level.
QuoteI hope you sleep well tonight, thanks a lot preacher !
I do not have guilt with this. Sorry. I wrote this out thoroughly to show you I am not trolling you but to give you a rational explanation why I came to the conclusion that I did. If I simply said "the avatar isn't you" and provided no explanation, then someone could say i was attacking you unfairly.
