He is not an expert in computer science. He's just mentally ill.
That's his only qualification, except having been a programmer at some
point in his life. I don't care what he's trying to do, he is a fool,
and he can't get away with all those insults. He's insulting
EVERYBODY. Just like you. You'd make a hell of a couple.

Actually, he does little more than push his self-styled psychotic rant
interspersed with the result of some google queries, and he does no
better at CS than an average student.

Does that sound familiar? That's more or less what you do, too. Adding
a lot of idiotic talk and insults to elementary arguments /
definitions. Let's review the most significant properties of Mr.
Dolan:
1. Mentally ill. On prescribed drugs.
2. Insults everybody.
3. Knows little / can contribute little to discussions.

That must sound familiar to you!

You insulted Marvin Minsky, a pioneer of computer science and AI, in
response to his posts. You think you are qualified to do that? You
know nothing about computers and AI! But you think you can just spout
your behaviorist nonsense, and abuse every AI researcher out there!
What makes you an authority, you monkey? You are no better than Dolan,
in fact a lot worse, because he can understand that you are a crank,
while unfortunately he cannot come to terms with his psychotic
behavior. Even he understands that you are out of reach!

You should both reconsider your behavior on these public forums. Try
being critical of yourself instead of telling everybody else to be
critical.
