Topic: #28719 “jbreher” is a liar
Deleted per thread local rule (thread moderation archive, Loyce’s archive):
You merely red trust users to crush there speech, you even exist here for the same as reflected in the effortful but baseless OP indicating no real danger of trading with jbreher in all. This probably shows your lapse in judgement and inability to be an objective DT.
That is why he is not on DT 1 or 2 any more. He has made his own ratings largely irrelevant with this kind of behavior. I get the distinct impression this account is either acting in coordination with, or is under the direct control of other well known trust system abusers here.
OP on that thread:
I ask with no snark or ill-intention.

The Bitch Latin Guild: Pretentious whiners unite in self-serving, recursively descending hypocrisy!
While I’m at it—what? As of the sixteenth page of this thread, nobody bothered to point out that TEChSHARE is, objectively judged, a pretentious twit who knows no more about Latin than he does about the English words “objective” and “standards”? Educational standards are falling.

Though you were not addressing me, I should point out that, although I just said that I do not know Latin (according to my own standards, or any reasonable standards of scholarship), I may damn myself with faint praise by observing that I know more Latin than some do.
That is worse than dog Latin: It is bitch Latin. It exemplifies the folly of mashing together words found in an English-Latin dictionary, without having even the slightest clue about Latin grammar.
testimonium | nominative, accusative, or vocative singular of second declension neuter noun testimonium. |
libertatum | genitive plural of third declension feminine noun libertas. No other options than “of liberties” or “liberties’”. |
iustitia | nominative, ablative, or vocative singular of first declension feminine noun iustitia. Well, I suppose that I could perhaps imagine a way that maybe the ablative could be applied in its instrumental sense to make the whole phrase just a tiny bit less asinine. (For the beavises and buttheads in the audience, I must clarify that “asinine” evokes an ass in the sense of a donkey, not in the American sense of an arse.) |
LOL. Of course, he also does not know the meaning of either of the respective words “objective” and “standards”.
And of course, I did a brief search to see if he was drawing some stock phrase or motto from speakers of barbarous Latin, or perhaps the worst vulgar Latin of the Dark Ages. If he was, I could not find it—and anyway, it would only mean he was such as fool as the blind following the blind.
Not that I would expect any better from the same fool whose very name mutilates the Latin digraph representing X/χ (chi) from τέχνη. Spelling “tech” as “tec” is as stupid as would be, mutatis mutandis, abbreviating “philosophiae doctor” as “P.D.” instead of “Ph.D.”, thus breaking the digraph for Greek Φ/φ (phi). Cf. [confer, ‘compare’] Ψ/ψ (psi), as seen in English pseudonym (< ψευδώνυμoς).
Techies who are sufficiently old-school may be perhaps familiar with Prof. Knuth’s TeX (Tεχ), and with arχiv.org (formerly known as xxx.lanl.gov, LOL). Those are enough of a botch: Latin X is far away from Greek X. However, at least the progenitors thereof were sufficiently knowledgeable to squeeze away the CH digraph in a way that makes sense!
As for TE**SHARE’s bitch-Latin, it would indeed look more intelligent to say, exempli gratia, “Techsharius trollus stupidius est”: That is obviously a joke, and not the empty posturing of a pretentious retard who is obsessed with Arguing On The Internet.
But if he really wants to dress to impress, I suggest styling it as such:
