As I said, I was mistaken - I didn't remember exactly what you said.

accusing me of lying about my circumstances,

Where?

you then made up evidence,

Accusations of lying:

True.  I was mostly thinking of major time-commitments or costs to the teacher/professor, since that seems to be where rohina is coming from here, but that probably adds up too, especially if she gets as many LD students as she claims.

I don't have any particular faith in rohina's experience, no.


Completely made-up bullshit:

You are so stupid it hurts sometimes. The fact that you remember rohina telling you at some point that she DID live in Australia means that you were present for a conversation in which she used the past fucking tense.

In fact, she used the present tense, which you would have understood if you knew anything about how tenses work in reported speech.  Since you are clearly having trouble, let me rephrase:

rohina said (in the past), "I live (in the present time of the past utterance) in Australia." = rohina said (in the past) that she lived (in the same past time) in Australia.

Contrast:
rohina said (in the past), "I lived (in the past time before the past utterance) in Australia." = rohina said (in the past) that she had lived (in the more remote past) in Australia.

Is that clear enough for you?

More bullshit (which also includes an implication of lying), which people have already called you on, since you have short-term memory problems and can't remember this happened a page ago:

If you make a blanket statement that contains no actual information that looks just like a mindless rant about Communism/whatever the fad is now, yes, I am going to be skeptical until you actually back it up with something that looks genuine.

Those are just the most recent ones.

Again, I think you are just seeing what your persecution complex wants to see.  Before I'm going to trust your experience as a professor, I want to actually hear some specifics (which you gave).  Something that looks like a baseless rant is going to continue to look like a baseless rant until it is backed up, regardless of who says it.  It has nothing to do with you personally.

My explanation to Jelly was an explanation of what I said and how tenses work using you as an example since that was what we were talking about.  What I said turned out to be mistaken, and I acknowledged that you were right about that.  The grammar lesson has nothing to do with that.

I just think it's endlessly funny that rufio gave me a lesson on past tense when I am not the dumb ass that thought rohina LIVES in Australia.

Also, word to the wise, if you don't want rohina feeling *snickers* persecuted *roffles* maybe you should STFU about her.

To paraphrase Lorelei: Disabling the ability to type "rohina": would it cause you endless distress and an inability to communicate, or would you work around it? Discuss.

One among your horrifically long tealdeeresque list of general failings is this: You keep stringing random shit together and claiming that it somehow constitutes "an explanation" or "evidence" or "grammar knowledge". Please look at it this way: I could sellotape together a pack of mentally retarded Atenist monks and call it "a religious revival", but that doesn't mean that we should start parading around the red disc. You're putting forth points that are almost, but not quite, completely irrelevant to the matter at hand, then doing entirely the wrong thing with them in order to achieve what you apparently presume to be some greatly significant epiphanies (and what, to everyone else, look like the ramblings of someone who decided PCP wasn't cutting it anymore and tried to shoot up pure mercury instead) - it is a lot like if you were to take two lemons and a bag of flour, shove them up your Reese-Witherspoon-distended ass, and call it a rhubarb pie. Now, would you be so kind as to take your late-night-frat-boy ramblings ("Have you ever, like, looked at your hands? I mean, like, REALLY looked at your hands? It's like, like, there's a whole other person, like, beneath the surface, and... [insert abrupt snoring noises]") to somewhere wherein someone actually gives a fuck? White Castle, maybe?

Don't look so innocent. Someone has a crush on you, when you are not being an ass or whatever. I think I know who it is. Will I say? I will not.

RN is the code for Rimini. In this period of the year is (sadly) chock full of fucktards. That could explain something.

Oh, sweet Jebus, the poor, virgin sensibilities! Didn't know people spoke to each other like that? Really? Please tell me Fluffy the RN was confessing an ignorance of the way people behave on this site and is not having a tragic epiphany about man's inhumanity to man. "Gosh" indeed. You enjoy that safe, respectful site, Fluffy. I'm going to stick around here and pry for peace.

Why would anyone come to the home of "MOAR FIGHT!!!" and pry for peace?

Isn't that sort of like going to E3 and asking for a moment of silence for the passing of Jack Thompson (we can dream).

On the other hand maybe prying for peace means using a crowbar to effect peace through superior firepower (since there aren't any weapons in TS3 yet a crowbar would be superior firepower until someone made a better weapon).
