Why does this matter?  I'm trying to figure out why Richard would say what I bolded above.  Everyone who has read this thread now believes he lied about his academic achievements.  In addition, Richard has made it abundantly clear that he does not care what we think.  

Ok, I have no problem believing Richard does not care what anyone else thinks.   How could he post what he does if he cared what readers thought of him?  So from Richard's point of view, I guess it is reasonable to say that he is not experiencing a credibility crisis, because for him credibility is meaningless and unimportant.  As noted above, credibility is something earned from third parties, and if one's ego is so huge that he literally does not care what any third parties may think, why fuss with values like credibility?

This sort of extreme narcissism is reflected in the White House of course.  Trump has no credibility with anyone because he lies and exaggerates constantly, reflexively, and unnecessarily.  Trump also does not give a damn what other people think.  In his ego-fueled daily mania, credibility is simply not a concept he acknowledges.   Valuing credibility requires that one care what other people think.

My musing is not particularly profound, but it has helped me sort out why Richard would deny that he has a credibility crisis.  Richard's stance, which is either laughable or tragic to those of us who value credibility, would make perfect sense to Trump or others who truly and completely do not care what other people think.

I have many women friends today that I see on a fairly regular basis.

Being laid up with this broken ankle I have a lot of time on my hands and with his hypocrisy of denigrating my late wife while calling me out years ago for dissing his late father which he constantly brings up? He had it coming.

Sure wish we had the treasure trove of his past posts before 2021 to throw back at him, but his history only goes back to then. Convenient for him. He is so over the top I sometimes think he's just Herb in disguise f'ing with us. LOL. But then I think Herb, while opinionated, isn't as crass or a big asshole like the screamer is.

The MM in Michigan, seems to have some serious issues, especially when he starts a thread that is specifically about me, and then he ends his opening by making this statement:

Jim Moschek, AKA the MM in Michigan stated this:  


There, I said it again, Davis has a dead father whom I don't respect, just like I don't respect how Davis denigrated my late wife. What's he going to do about it? Threaten to come to Michigan to kick my ass again?

So then, just to go over his opening posting, he decided he was going to try to antagonize me into a colloquy with him.  

Well, it didn't work.  

And The MM in Mich. is free to have his opinion.  His entire life is irrelevant to me.  

This was his posting #38 to me, Presenting a certificate he made up on the computer, awarding me a paper telling me I'm a "certified asshole"

Then in the award he continued in his best attempt to tell me off. 

His certificate said: 

 "To recognize your upgrade from half-assed to Certified Asshole, gives all concerned great satisfaction"


Ok then, so this freak in Michigan, one of your best buddies opens a thread specifically as an attempt to publicly insult me.  He says it gives him great satisfaction to try and publicly insult me.   

This is the action of a person who is in true mental distress.  He needs help.  His entire psychotic posting indicates that he's anguished.  

I suggest that you and James fly out there to see him.  I would hate to think that he's ready to eat a bullet, but I'm not a certified psychiatrist, neither am I a certified asshole as he lashed out at me in anger.  

Do what you feel you need to do, but should he do something awful that would then be on You since he's your good friend and he would think it is Your responsibility to help him.

Also the bizarre attempt to draw an analogy between you and Trump!   As if buying a business from your parents and then thriving with business was some sort of cataclysmic hypocrisy!   Someone ought mention to dick that how we live our lives is what defines us.

Oh, so now you don't need to work at all, Dick? How many millions a year in sales of your medical carts, speaker systems, and cabinets have you averaged over the last 40 years? LOL. I wouldn't say you are a bitter failure as you obviously can support yourself, but you sure do appear bitter of others success.

So far everything points to the fact he is a total fraud in everything he's ever told us concerning his education and "profitable" cabinet making business anywhere. No reviews, no website, and nothing to support his claims. No wonder when pressed for proof he deflects and won't answer any questions concerning his education or his claim of even owning a sucessful wood working business. 

Since he can still offer no proof for his claims he is nothing but a fraud and has pulled the wool over our eyes with his lies and deceit.

I also searched Hitachi/Rich Davis/medical cart and found this business:

https://www.davismedical.com/ContactUs.aspx

Says it was founded by Randy Davis and Marion Davis in 1983 in Vista, California. 

Maybe these folks are your parents and you inherited the business from them? LOL

Prove me wrong Rich, here is your chance.
