OK Richard. Since you're so desperate for this, I'll satisfy your your incessant and insatiable desire...if it will result in you and your cronies getting off my back.
This is my biography: Name - Ronald P. Hellendall Address - 407 Thornwood Dr. , Chapel Hill, NC Age - 44 Education - Ph.D. Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, 1991; Neuroscience
I originally joined SI in ~1996 and proceeded to break a number of the fundamental rules of this site. I used multiple aliases which spoke back and forth to each other creating the illusion of agreement on whatever opinions I deemed worthwhile. I also alluded to a rumor of a press release of some sort of arrangement between Fountain Pharmaceuticals and Merck which was a complete fabrication. I was appropriately kicked off of SI soon thereafter. Subsequent to a metaphorical ~18 month prison term (i.e. no SI), I reapplied to SI - obviously using my real name in the application - and adapted the totally fictitious name of Scott Jiminez to protect my privacy.
If the members of the SI community feel I should be banned for life, please advise the proper authorities immediately. I have attempted to be as forthright and as helpful in my participation on SI as I can be; my previous self-inflicted embarrassments have forced me to be exceptionally aware of the delineation between fact and opinion and I make a concerted effort to distinguish these in all of my posts. Again, if those in the SI community feel I have failed this necessary requisite, please email Jill.
I will not respond to the Rick's incendiary post, just as I refused to extend Miljenko's mudslinging (even though both posts contained enormous distortions and considerable hyperbole) because one round of this junk in this public forum is enough. If Rick and Miljenko would care to continue to invoke their puritanical rage, fine. I've had my mea culpa and I will not respond.
