Hey, Black, if you are supposed to be a "Doctor" how come you did not know
this rather basic little fact? Huh? HUH?

I'll tell you why, it's because you are a fake. If you actually have a
degree it's because either you got it the medical school of Guatemala or you
cheated your way through the entire program. I suspect you did both.

I also have been getting some emails from people from up in your area and
they say you are an even bigger asshole in person than you are on this list,
if that's humanly possible.

Now shut the hell up an go away.
