Warning of account blocking: Obama's position was not that of a professor and don't insist otherwise here, except on talk pages.--Aschlafly 19:08, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

Yes he was, his own employer said he was. There is no way to argue against this. --Aehlinger

You haven't stated precisely what the press office his employer actually said, and there's no denying that Obama was never a real professor.--Aschlafly 19:25, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

Well, if you'd checked the references people tried to put in before you reverted them, you might've seen what the University said. But here it is: http://www.law.uchicago.edu/media/index.html

Whether being called a professor by the University of Chicago makes him a "real professor"...well, I guess that depends on how Conservapedia feels about the University in question. Wandering 19:29, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

We've all seen what the press office said, Wandering. Again, you don't raise the quality of your edits and comments soon, your account is going to be blocked. This will remain a quality site.--Aschlafly 19:32, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

I think to "remain a quality site", one must first achieve the status of "being a quality site". --Jareddr 19:39, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

Sir, if you want to question my credibility and threaten my account, then please provide me specifics of what I am doing in contradiction to the web pages rules. I am adding citations and completely factual information, like stating that the University of Chicago calls him a professor. Whether or not you think that makes him a real professor is an opinion, but it is a FACT that they call him one. That is all I said. You are threatening my account because what I say does not fit your agenda, not because I am saying something incorrect OR biased. --Aehlinger

Aehlinger, the University of Chicago never conferred the title of professor on Obama, and never claimed it did.--Aschlafly 19:41, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

Read the press release. I quote, "Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors". Yes, they did call him a professor. --Aehlinger

No, your statement is illogical. The press office, choosing its words carefully, said the obvious: that some (incorrectly) treat and regard any faculty members as though they are professors. Should someone falsely claim to be a professor on his own resume, however, it would be a scandal.--Aschlafly 19:49, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

Then why did they make that same "mistake"? "Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined." Why refer to him as a professor if they think it's incorrect to refer to him as a professor? Wandering 19:52, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

The University of Chicago's press office is obviously not going to embarrass Obama. But woe to anyone who claims on his resume that he's a professor when he was just a Senior Lecturer.--Aschlafly 20:00, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

I'll raise the quality of my edits and comments when you'll tell me what's wrong with them. You still haven't told me how I "deleted information" from the Professor values page. But for the moment, I'd appreciate an explanation of how "You haven't stated precisely what the press office his employer actually said" and "We've all seen what the press office said" reconcile. Am I making some terrible critical reading error here? Did you make a typo? Or is your complaint that the edits did not include a quotation of the press office? Wandering 19:46, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

How is my statement illogical? When they made the aforementioned quote, they were referring to their own Law school, as a respected institution would not make sweeping claims about other institutions for financial reasons. Additionally, how were you able to assume from their statement that they implied that "other institutions" "incorrectly" treat them as faculty members. Please provide me with a source that uses either phrase. If you can't, then we must interpret the statement as referring to themselves. Thus, they are directly saying that Obama is considered a professor at their institution. --Aehlinger
