I've moved into something different now, and done some other stuff as an international consultant, and all that - along with the details of what I did in the past - is none of your business.
Originally posted by @eladarNo experience "in the field" of what?

Like I said, I am sorry for you if you had an unpleasant and unfruitful time as a teacher, or if you got turfed out of the profession at some point and are still btter, and I'm sorry if that is one of the reasons you are now an unabashed racist and nihilist and often sound like you never had any business going anywhere near an educational institution, but ~ what can one say ~ teaching can be a tough gig and it is not for everyone. It's as simple as that. 😉
Originally posted by @fmfI am saying you might not have taught anything requiring rigor or competency.

Originally posted by @eladarYou assumed I had never taught. I set you straight on that. I have then declined to share details about what I have done. So, by all means, you can go ahead and project onto me whatever failings or experiences (or lack thereof) that you want. I have done something similar to you (above) based on your posting history. So, the way I see it, what's OK for me to do, is OK for you to do.

Originally posted by @divegeesterI made a joke about pacinko parlours in Japan and having friends in the Yakuza on the General Forum and she STILL, months and months later, feels all bent out of shape because she didn't get it.
Paranoia
A deep seated irrational dislike of you

I am not sure this caricature is as politically insightful or as resonant as you think it is, unless your intended audience is white supremacists, Alex Jones/Mark Levin fans, and Trump supporters, in which case your "analysis" might work.

What makes you think I was a member of the Yakuza?
Let me be clear, I didn't believe your ridiculous boasting then, and I don't believe it now. Some rather obvious parallels to this thread, but I'm rather not surprised that you don't get it.
