I don't think I ever did. I saw him publically say stuff to miscreants in GD threads, though.Evo said:

I got threatened for bullying Mr Robin Parsons, lol. That stupid homeless bum that saved the US taxpayers 40,000,000,000 dollars.
I can't even remember my first post, must have been something stupid though.

I saw Mr Robin Parsons just the other day (on line). I was researching something and a blurb in google was a post by MRP at a forum. He's alive and kicking.

Yes yomamma, it's very ill. And the problem is that nobody helps you out. Here, let me start...yomamma said:
'Sunken' in an adjective. You can have 'a sunken treasure', for instance. It is not a verb. The correct verb to use is 'sunk', as in 'GD has sunk to a new low.'
That's your grammar lesson for the day. More of these, and you'll be a vastly improved poster !

I was looking at some websites on education and a question was asked "Is less than a 4.0 GPA enough to get you into an Ivy League school?"
The answer - You do not need to have a perfect 4.0 to get into an Ivy League School. You are rated on may levels such is essay, SAT, ACT, geographical location, extracirricular activities, clubs, memberships, volunteer work, and other relevant experience. Also, keep in mind that many wealthy folks with less than a 4.0 GPA have been accepted to Ivy League schools as well.
I guess this respondent was not one of them?
