How has that piece of shit not lost his title? Stop calling that imposter a Doctor.
Have Dr Phil and Dr Oz ever had a fake doctor-off? It can be judged by Judge Judy and Bill Nye.
Time out, why the hate for Bill Nye? Did I miss something or is this just a joke on "people who are less qualified than their titles lead you to believe"? If so, then carry on.
On first read it sounds more like a list of shitty charlatans, of which I wouldn't really apply to Bill even if he's not as qualified as he would imply.
A lot of people claim to have had negative interactions with him in the wild, but I haven't seen any proof yet. I've very suspicious that someone's who educates about the dangerous of climate change has this much hearsay against them. I've also heard he gets a lot of off topic questions when he does talks and gets impatient with people. He doesn't actually claim to be a scientist and if he gets questions that he didn't prepare for, he's not going to be able to give good answers.
In regards to the off topic question thing; that just sounds like a fairly normal person. I feel like anyone could get annoyed by being asked constantly about non-relevant stuff. Sure, some folks are very good at handling those things with grace and should be applauded for it, but I feel like that's a noteworthy exception and not how most folks would react depending on the severity of course.
