Typing "Student Review" into google puts the web site top of the
list.  If you searched even for the first line of the quote I made it
would have brought you directly to the post in question.

Finally here is the link to the post since you are incapable of
finding it. Now I ask you to retract your comment "There is no URL in
existence, and you made the post up just to denigrate an institution
you know absolutely nothing about (and cannot even distinguish from
Ohio  University). You are, pure and simple, a bare faced liar. Case
proven and closed". Yet more wild accusations based on assumptions.

lol, you have established nothing you claimed "And it is 'Welsh
Rarebit', not 'Welsh Rabbit', FYI".  Thats a wild and incorrect
statement of which I have clearly proven wrong. As of yet you still
have not admitted as such and retracted it.

Lets say you where baiting for a moment, this means when you posted
"And it is 'Welsh Rarebit', not 'Welsh Rabbit', FYI".  you would have
known it was incorrect.  If so that means you lied!   So if you think
a successful bait is when someone corrects a statement you made, which
is incorrect you are a bigger fool than I even thought.

Clearly the statement you made is incorrect and clearly you did not
look it up in Fowler before making such a wild accusation. This bait
claim is a lame attempt to cover up the fact that you used Fowler to
try and certify your original statement and that was seriously
dishonest.

Wait a second you want me to give the address of a friend, or the
address where he works to someone who has threatened me?

I will be home next week for a few days, I will be pleased to meet you
at the bogside Inn on Monday or Tuesday.  I have already posted
documents I regard as proof so don't forget any. You wanted the wager
so sorry you pay for your own airfare.

No, the question was asking for a comment on the paragraph that 
followed. I understand you doing everything in your power to ignore it, 
but you are really looking ridiculous now. Here it is again:

"I can not think of any other place that is more ideal for a college 
education. Ohio State has offered me unboundless opportunities
on beautiful campus, in a great city. I have not met (nor heard of) one
student that dislikes going here. Each and every one of the students
here is incredibly friendly and approachable. Even though the students
are aplenty, the class sizes remain small (only one or two major lecture
classes in first year). The academics are stimulating and interesting,
something I did not especially expect coming into a university of this
size. Ohio State offers incredible academic support...I have never gone
into a class not understanding any of the material. The professors here
are top-notch and truly care about their students.

The school spirit here and the tradition are contagious, as people are
overflowing with spirit for the Buckeyes. The athletic programs are
great, with a beautiful RPAC (recreation center) and a newly built
McCorkle Aquatic Center. The Horseshoe is one of the most exciting
venues in all of college football. With everything that this school has
to offer both inside and outside the classroom, I cannot fathom any
parent who would be ashamed if their child chose to attend The Ohio
State University, one of the fastest rising and finest universities this 
country has to offer. This truly is a special place."

There - the ball is in your court for your usual educated and 
enlightened comment.

More of the wounded martyr. It really doesn't become you as a role -

As I say, you wouldn't be good for the payoff anyway. It would be like

I don't need to just to dispose with your silly nonsense. It simply

Nothing to retract. Keep huffing and puffing, though - it provides a

No, it is simply connecting the dots, based on your past prevarications. 
Just as you avoid the consequences of your rash challenges, so you most 
likely create phantom "solicitor" friends that don't appear to actually 
exist. Surprise, surprise. Is your entire world composed of fantasy?
