Is it necessary to lock a discussion

Prior to doing so, please THREAD the needle. My clothing is in tatters from the goading I'm receiving.

 

See? We're only on page two, and we're already halfway to a lockout of this thread.

Ya gotta love it. :wavey:

 

Oh no, not again!

 

Forester, when you comply with Kismet's request to stick to the topic instead of getting personal, as you do above with your hostile and provocative comments, I will respond in like kind. Your post above is merely heading for another collision, a direction that Kizmet rightly requested that we should avoid. Saavy?

Btw, if you have substantive evidence that an IUGS doctorate is a definite asset I would like to hear it.

 

Hey Steve, you must have a boring life if you are getting a charge out of this nonsence.

I know one issue we agree on and that is that both of us have very strong perspectives regarding the overall value of an IUGS doctorate.

 

I am correct in that DI is in the USA, and DI is not owned, managed or receives any government subsidy?

 

Actually, there's nothing about this that's true. You make a judgement based on the content of the post. Smart (or stupid) things can come from newbies as well as veterans.

 

I once saw Mosconi do an exhibition. It was an early lesson of the top tier in any field being virtually in a higher dimension.

 

My comment about a boring life was not directed to you but Steve Levicoff.

In regard to your familiarity with NAB, do you believe that their accreditation status would be acceptable in the US, and if so, on what basis did you arrive at this conclusion?

 

Koolcypher, did you listen to Kizmet's request? Apparently not. Your fomenting post is in bad taste and is merely pre-empting a relevant and respectful discussion.

 

It's Foerster. He's an island wit, not a Forest Clown.

 

Jan, that is not the subject of this thread. By attempting to make it the subject of the thread, you are guilty of hijacking the thread.

I have no objection to that, but the next time you whine about someone hijacking a thread, perhaps this will serve as a reminder of your hypocrisy.

In other words, you're busted! :biggrin:

 

No Levicoff, I'm Jan!

 

It's just very interesting that when speaking with IUGS Admissions and asking their primary representative if she could recommend any reputable academic evaluation service that could certify that their NAB accredited doctoral programs is acceptable and comparable to doctorates from the US, the rep responded as if she never heard of such an evaluation process of foreign degrees! One would think that if this or any other foreign school wanted to market their degrees to prospective US students that they would want to demonstrate the credibility of their degree programs. The fact that they didn't raised a red flag and doubts.

 

Because I do not have a life, I try to put personality to DI's posters. For my own entertainment,
I am coming to the conclusion that it is personal or maybe history between Jan and Steve L, and Steve F is caught in between. My guess is that Steve L is on vacation because he has been very engaged in DI. I know, this is a total useless post. But what is guy suppose to do in -21 degrees Celsius weather.

 

It is ironic that Steve F. denigrates another poster for not posting under their real name, when he has been running an online university without his name attached to it for two years. Steve, your startup uni may be a noble effort, but you're trying to have it both ways here. If you've recently added a faculty page with your and Randell's names, then well done you.

For the record, I think the vengeful behaviour of some people on the internet provides more then enough justification for posting anonymously. I'm willing to take the extra time to evaluate people's arguments instead of compare their personal authority.
