I would post pictures but I'm worried that Niamh will judge my non-expert attempt. It's not even around the edges at all

And yet, here you are... speaking for Dezzy.

Just to remain off topic for one more moment. Surely the opinions of experts in the field should be welcomed, not denigrated. We don't have to agree with an experts opinion, but it should ALWAYS be respected

I'm sharing my interpretation of what he said, as I feel like it's been misrepresented as him asking for proof of academic or professional qualifications, rather than asking for people to qualify individual statements

Still awaiting a reply as to why my post was removed! Speaks volumes - nothing was wrong with it other than it pointed out blatant hypocricy. Can’t have that can we!

Yes, again though, only when those opinions are explored and explained, i.e. "It works like this, because X, Y, Z" not "It works like this. I am an expert. Just trust that I know.". Or in other words, if someone feels like they have higher or expert knowledge on something, they should SHARE that knowledge, and not expect to dominate a discussion based on the idea that people will simply accept that the knowledge is there.

But you specifically suggested that Dezzy might want to "see your degree or CV", which in my opinion, is a misunderstanding of what he was asking for - which is that opinions should be backed up with an explanation of that opinion and NOT with statements like "I have a degree".

Posting something after a bolded Niamh always makes me tense. I was on a different window when you posted that, promise

Funny story though, a few years back a priest came in and asked us to laminate a Eucharist wafer

Ah... thanks. It was an apology to Withano. If anyone wants to see that apology, it's on Withano's wall.

What are you talking about?

"Anyone know if this is true or fake? I've just been told that it's possible to laminate literally ANYTHING."

That was the thread
