Again I ask you to retract your statement "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".

Its also clear that I posted how to find the quote I made. If you had
even put the first sentence of the quote into google you would have
found it. I have never tried to hide the source for this quote as you
suggest. I have no obligation to give any link to another site when
quoting.

Again more assumution, I have never claimed the web site is valid or
invalid. Also I have never attempted to put any university down as you
claim, I have quoted a student on a website which I have every right
to do.

Yet again resorting to playground name calling.

I clearly posted this particular post to see how you would respond,
testing to see if you would respond like an associate Dean. This is
what I clearly was refering to when I posted.

 "You had a prime chance to put a case forward to show how good Ohio
State University is though instead revert to childish name calling
about some person you clearly know nothing about. Clearly a associate
Dean would have more
intelligence and not be so obtuse".

I would expect more of any offical at any university than to call a
student an idiot, or dismiss a website without looking at it, being
unable to find a website despite being informed how too and finally
resorting to wild assumuptions leading to directly calling a person a
liar when infact they where telling the truth. Even then having to be
asked several times to retract their assumption and correcting their
slur did not even have the deceny to apologise.

Well why would he have a web site, I don't have one and I bet the vast
majority of people on the planet don't either. So your assumution is
because he does not have a web site he does business out of the back
of a truck. Why would a solicitor in Derry need a web site.

Though I am not surprised you don't really have a good record of
making assumptions do you.

So you want me to put a direct contact to a friend on a public forum!
Sorry I would not put my own up so why would you think I would put the
address of my friends place of work! I would not be much of a friend
if I did that would I.
