Holy Crap!

I simply can't believe how many people hang out on Quora. I get between 150-200 hits a day on here...sometimes more if Nikto posts because he has a bigger following than I do. Being retired, he has more time to construct articles with nifty graphics!!

Yet, check out this question I posted about Ayn Rand on Quora. Nearly 60,000 people have viewed it with 73 answers. My answer alone has been viewed over 1200 times. Wow!

A thinking person (ahem, not you), would see your question and the fact that the highest rated answers essentially disagree with your not so subtle judgement within the question and note that your entire rationale for making the question is click-baiting trolling.

Instructor, Mentor, Historian, Economist, and obviously a Pretentiously Preening Twat whose fascination with how many people viewed his answer without regard to how many disagreed with it seems akin to that of an exhibitionist flasher's "Look at me!" compulsion without regard to the actual reactions evoked. Yes, he's been looked at, mostly with negative reactions, but that's not what matters -- he's been looked at (yay?). Onan, indeed.

Narcissism Larry - pure narcissism. Doesn't matter what you say about him as long as we are paying attention to him.

The only reason I have to hang around here is the morbid fascination with watching him deteriorate. When Obama goes out of office, whooo boy.

"Morbid fascination" pretty much sums up my remaining interest. But even morbid fascination is better than no attention at all. Isn't that right, little Markie?

That's probably why he's in teaching, and in a really soft subject, as well. He has an audience compelled to hang on his every word or suffer the consequences. And unlike math or physics, it's not so easy to be proven proven wrong. And if someone's getting close to that, simply emit a cloud of intellectual squid-ink and hide.
