If you are critical of Gummer and Banquer, how can you let this obvious pathology slide? Malicious pathology at that. I mean, I call a Norton a locomotive, and Cap'n Asshole just goes to town! And this buffoon thinks he's making some literary statement.


You and many others give slow eddy far too much credit. slow eddy is book smart and lacks practical experience in many subjects he pretends to be an expert in. slow eddy also does a lot of lying when people call him out on his lack of real world practical experience.

Truth be told, it totally escapes me how a guy like Ed can't see thru a fraud, albeit an artful fraud, like Cap'n Ahole.
Which I guess is ultimately a testimony to the likes of a Cap'n Ahole's skills. If Ahole were in finance, he'd be defrauding the whole US Gummint, he's so good at this, instead of grandstanding in a newsgroup.

People confuse artful manipulation with intellect and with a productive person, when in reality these manipulators are simply walking malware, simple as that. They ARE intelligent, in a way, but that just makes a very good case for expanding the guidelines for euthanasia.

slow eddy supports anyone who kisses his ass and doesn't question him about subjects he thinks he's an expert in.

After 9/11 things got very slow in Phoenix, AZ machining job shops so I decided to take a lower paying job in Tucson, AZ building race engines which I have never done before. slow eddy has recommend a book that I had purchased:

http://www.abrasiveengineering.com/bksunn.html

I initially thought this book was very good and complete. When I went to work at the race engine builders shop I realized how incomplete and wrong this book actually was. The reason is the author at that point was just like slow eddy... book smart with very little practical hands on experience.

Interesting enough is that the person who wrote the book wife died long after he wrote the book. He finally decided to open his own shop and get some real world practical experience. I talked with him on the phone years ago and he admitted how much he didn't know back then and how much he's learned since finally opening his own shop.

With some of the new knowledge I gained I enjoyed talking with Bottlebob who had a lot of respect for David Vizard who is a well known engine building author. It turns out that David Vizard had far more knowledge and practical experience than John Edwards did. The shop I went to work for owner has spent a ton of time with David Vizard when he lived in Tucson writing books for HP. No doubt in my mind that the shops owner gained a ton of real world practical knowledge working with David Vizard. HP Books was based out of Tucson, AZ.

This is just one example of how full of **** and how little slow eddy knows about many subjects he pretends to be an expert in.
