1. Usually, credentials. evidence of authority, status, rights, entitlement to privileges, or the like, usually in written form: Only those with the proper credentials are admitted.
2. anything that provides the basis for confidence, belief, credit, etc.


What are they? IE: what makes what you post here credible? (reliable source)
 
My ideas speak for themselves. A piece of paper shouldn't form the basis of your opinions.
 
I was newspaperboy of the month in a small northern California town in 1967.

What more do I need than that?

A piece of paper maybe just one form of credential. I am now remembering this quote from beetljuice!

Adam: What are your qualifications?
Betelgeuse: Ah. Well... I attended Juilliard... I'm a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that. I've seen the EXORCIST ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT... NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU'RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY... NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK? You think I'm qualified?
 
*Looks down pants*

I rest my case.
 


You don't seriously expect people to post their real names and background information, on a public forum like this, on the internet, just to reinforce their debating credibility?

there was only one thing I ever dreamed about...'

Ofcourse no one would be expected to use the surname of the pack of wolves who brought them up.
 

:shrug:

You can either believe my posts or not. If you challenge me, I only ask that you provide credible information to back it up.
 
I have the keys to the inner sanctum here :shrug:
 
I never use them unless they are directly related to my job and even then only sparingly. It is my experience that not using them is more the norm these days. Really, credentials mean diddley for the most part.

Unless you're referring to Romulus and Remus, I don't know what you're talking about.

A feral child would be one raised by a pack of wolves..

Mowgli, the namesake of Mowgli Syndrome, was a fictional feral child in Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle BookA feral child (also, colloquially, wild child) is a human child who has lived isolated from human contact from a very young age, and has no (or little) experience of human care, loving or social behavior, and, crucially, of human language
 



Ah. So am I to take it that this is an insult on my character and parentage? Makes little sense any other way...
