Well, you know that is what us libs do - first short sleeves, then speedos! It's a slippery slope, a natural progression.
I thought they were tastefully done...

Rico, I hear you, but I think that it goes well beyond a screen name. If there are conversations where he played his degrees as a trump card in a debate, then specific conversations where he lied about his credentials, it is a little different than someone calling themself a Baron when they are not.
Tstew hits the nail on the head again. The man came on a Christian forum where people fellowship with brothers and sisters in Christ and has apparently told a bold faced, needless lie. The part of this is why a grown man would feel the need the do that while discussing morality issues and Christian doctrine among other things. That calls the mans character in to question greatly.
Lying about credentials and degree achievements is a big deal in the academic world and the business world as well. Let's not spin the facts and blame it on the people who defended their university. They certainly aren't the one's responsible for this situation. There's only one person responsible for this and as of right now, he's refusing to accept responsiblity or apologize.

It's really not a "poor DV" thing for me. I've told him he brought this upon himself by including "Dr" in his screen name. For me it's more of a "this is getting ridiculous" issue. At any rate, things have been slow around here the last few days, so I guess we need to have something to disagree on to keep things lively.
I'm with tstew on this one...I would imagine no one would have blinked an eye, unless he ALSO alluded to his education within posts or threads. I'm not terribly concerned about Dr. V's education, but I think his credibility will take a hit until he clears it up one way or the other.

So when you order a pizza do you use the name "Smith"?
That is so funny, when I am with my Mom and we are putting our name in for seating at a restaurant, she always uses my sisters name (Amy), or mine. Her name is Laquita...
This is how rumors get started. Ya might wanna delete this here post.
It's ok Rico... I have your pics right next to his on my bulletin board...

Just to clear it up that is why I use the name Baron and 1710 refers to the year he came to NC.
So, what does this mean then? You have claim to some hoity toity kinda ancestors? Hopefully you at least inherited some moolah from being related to this Baron?????

I had heard her name from my MIL so much, that I assumed for the longest time that she was Mexican
