How can I not take it personally? You're addressing it to me, and you were very definite in saying I was 'only a journalist.'
I have an inch of qualifications. I programmed main frames in machine language, did systems analysis for companies (if that's what you want to hear), have been a B2B rep, a headhunter for engineers, CEOs, and computer scientists. At that time, I was earning in the top 5% of my country.
I have long forgotten all the things I have done. I never stuck with them because I battled with the malice and jealousy of other people and a terrible mother.. I never understood it. I simply didn't know that people lied, were jealous, and everyone wanted money and fame (I didn't - I just wanted to be safe).
So I'm a loser. I apologize. My opinion that he is not very bright, is still valid, though. Give me that. :)
That said, I'm not sure how to take your response. I posted a copy of an evaluation under my 'about section' from one doctor. People are fond of calling me a liar as well.
