need cash for The National

[David Atkatz]

Haven't ya'll figured it out yet? Bruce lies. About everything.

He's not rich.
He's not successful.
He's not thin.
He hasn't the collection he'd like you to believe he has.
And, most of all, he is most certainly not happy.

David-

A few questions in response to your most recent posting

Tell us about our collection. Please provide a detailed inventory and estimation of value.

Tell us anything you actually know about the business deals we have closed

Tell us what we weigh, what we own, and describe how we spend our money.

Explain why you are rated among the worst physics professors in the US, and why after so many years, you remain an associate rather than a full professor.

Quote from "Rate My Professor"

Terrible teacher, makes fun of students who ask legitimate questions. Arrogant. Uncaring advisor, acts like you're wasting his time. I expected to be a physics major. After this instructor, I changed my mind.

Need we say more.

[David Atkatz]

Nice try, Bruce. There are ratings from 12--count 'em, 12--students at ratemy professor.com. In my 22 years of teaching at Skidmore (and ten years at other institutions before that) I have taught (conservative estimate) 3000 students.

I'm sure those 12 are a representative sample!

But, be that as it may. Suppose I am, indeed, the absolute worst physics professor ever.

Does that, in any way, make you less full of shit?

lolol

Ok, other than my FBI/Dunkin' Donuts post, this is the post of the day.

David

If you look at the total population on the UES of NYC, more people actually rent than own. Owning an apartment is not of interest to us.

Why are you so concerned about our financials?

And why do you refuse to address any of the other questions we asked?

We will be at the Yankee game tomorrow (great forecast)- hope DJ gets his two hits as we have other plans for Sunday.

As a professor, you are well aware about the dangers of making assumptions.So when and if you want to present a detailed summary of our collection, all of our other assets, our business transactions for the past twenty years, and you have interviewed our friends and colleagues, we will be happy to the share the results of your research with the Board.

Night night....

[IronHorse2130]

Just curious why he doesn't refer to himself as "we" in the video posted on youtube and why he is constantly looking away from the camera?

[David Atkatz]

Bruce, I'm not going to answer your questions, as they are meaningless. I don't have (or want) to know exactly how much you do earn, in order to know how much you don't. And you don't make nearly as much as you pretend to.

You're just as much upper middle class as most of us here. You don't have a thing to do with the "ruling class," as you put it. You never have, and you never will.

You are the person/collector you constantly mock.

Online personality aside lets give Bruce some slack.

The stuff shown on the video was actually quite nice.
And he used "I".
And actually seemed to be someone who is really into his collection.

And that's all that really should matter about any of us.

Lest you think I'm letting him off entirely....
The comment about the guy at the rangers game was way over the line.

And I've learned some new things about NY!
1) The strip clubs there involve singing. Seems a bit odd, and that's not how it goes sround here, but then NY is more metropolitain than Boston.
2)The trash trucks there burn the trash? Again, it seems odd and wasteful not to bring it to a place that will make some electricity by burning it but NY is the greatest city ever so it must be the way to go.

AND --NYC is less dirty, arrogant and crime ridden than when I was last there?
4 years ago or so it was plenty dirty. But I was only in Brooklyn.
And the people I was helping pick stuff up from insisted on putting the truck in the middle of the narrow street rather than partly in their own driveway I guess it's not arrogant to block the street?
And when I bumped a car and left a note for the owner his neighbors yelled at me.....Not "don't leave the police are coming" But "hey you can't park there" And when on the way out I accidentally hit a street sign while driving around a trash truck that had been abandoned in the middle of an intersection and then drove down a "no trucks" road because it was the most direct route - And nobody called the cops or even yelled anything....

Ok, Not a day of driving I'm at all proud of, but with me staying away I suppose technically NY is less crime ridden.

The collectors who emailed us, emailed us directly, you won't find much in the Net 54 section.

Here is the most recent post. For $10,000 (put up or shut up) we will have the poster call you and hopefully show the collecting world that the hot air is coming from your mouth as well as your behind.

Bruce

There are just too many assholes on the board these days. Thats why I rarely post anymore

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are sure you will say we made that up- so let's bet $10,000 have it put in escrow and have Barry Sloate or Leon review the post. They know the collector well.

Looks like the ball is your court. Off to the Yankee game. Good night.

[David Atkatz]

Oops! Yankee game rained out! Guess you'll just have to stay home and keep on lyin'.

Let's remain civil.

Show the Board that you know everything about our life and baseball collection.

You are physics professor- let's see some factual evidence about our collection,
evidence that proves you are intimately familiar with its depth and breath.

You know us so well, and our modest apartment so well, that you thought we owned the apartment, when, in fact, (for very good reasons) we rent.

Go Jeter Go Yankees

[David Atkatz]

I gave you the benefit of the doubt, Bruce, seeing as how most on the Upper East Side own, rather than rent.

I was wrong.

You're actually less well-off than even I was willing to give you credit for.

For some reason I was expecting more from you Bruce. Why, I do not know. Anyway, you are correct...I don't believe that is a true comment that you received...frankly, I think you were too lazy to craft something more dramatic.

My challenge, if you read it correctly, was not to you but instead to those five fine gentlemen who wrote to you in confidence their notes of support. Surely they are proud of their friendship with you and would love nothing more than to see an ignorant fellow such as myself leave the board voluntarily!!!

See, if I were in their position, I would not only accept the challenge but post it in this thread for all to see...where I'm from, that's how friendship works! If you are under attack, your friends come to your aid and demonstrate their loyalty. I, being a pretty fair and reasonable guy though, have made this an even simpler task. Since I don't want to embarras them, I'm just asking these five Bruce loyalists to send me a PM vouching for your claims....and it's in complete secrecy!!! How much more fair could I be?

You really should be making some phone calls and getting your friends to prove me wrong...but I know it won't happen. You didn't get the notes of support and you're all alone in this. And that is sad...which is something I do expect when it comes to you, Bruce...

Sweet dreams...
