For his continuing cowardice, including context snippage
leading
to de facto post editing via "digesting", blatant snipping of
links he does not want publicized, Foamy-style labeling of his
nicknames as "attribution problems," and general running away
from
the truth of his kookery, I nominate Dave "Davie Pee Wee
Tholenator(tm) the Lame" Tholen for Coward of the Month,
January
2005.
Anyone care to second?
Oh, and continue tholing, Tholenator(tm).
I second the nomination of Tholen for CotM.
Thirded with alacrity.
I predict that he will pretend to be 'above all this' by not
responding except with even more inaccurate and repetitive
digests.
I wonder if his students will know about this and his other
Usenet
honours? For their sakes, I can only hope that he doesn't
conduct
his classes with the same lack of integrity that he shows online.
I have wondered the same myself. If so, having Tholen as an
instructor would bite.
Indeed. In spite of any professional accomplishments, to have such a
lack of imagination and integrity, he would be like death in the
classroom.
Some time this year I plan on visiting the Big Island. I have
toyed
with the idea of looking Davey up and seeing what he's like in RL.
Just to introduce myself, mind you.
Oh, that would make his day -- an Antagonist showing up at his office
door...just to say hi.
I would love to be a fly on the wall when that happens - I'm sure the
reactions would be interesting.
If he acts funny I leave him the hell alone.
I am curious about the conversations he would have: are they as dull
as
his Usenet posting or is he bolder when he is posting?
I am also curious. DrPostman, you have to go and then report back to
us what he is like IRL.
I'm going there to visit a friend and see flowing lava
for the first time in my life. Davey really isn't all that
important,
but my friend works at the same university so I wouldn't be
going out of the way.
I would like to know if he does actually exist in real life or the
quote
in my .sig is correct.

There seems to be evidence of a Dave Tholen in "RL", but perhaps it is
not the same entity we have crossed paths with online. That's a great
quote, btw.
