While I agree with you he is scum of the earth, he does hold a doctorate, meaning he can call himself doctor.
Exposing people for what they are is most effective if there is nothing in your story that people can use as “See? You’re wrong about this one thing so you must be wrong about everything”.
He is scum and exploits people, and I wish he would just go away.
You can be qualified and a quack. Look at Peterson.
He actually hasn’t had a license for decades so he’s not qualified either lol
That's complete baloney.
It’s right there on his Wikipedia but ok. Admittedly it’s 17 years give or take so yeah technically not decades plural.
Either you're misinformed or just straight up lying.

I am talking about Dr. Phil. I understand why that wasn’t clear but let’s maybe slow your roll a bit here.
Peterson is just a bad person lol
Why? Did I hurt your feelings or something?
You just wanna swing, with zero fucks given to where or why, huh?
Hey! I softballed my original comment with the word baloney. I just don't like authority.
Yet you’re picking a fight over whether or not someone has formal qualifications…
lol! That is ironic.
Anyways lol, it's wasn't about the qualifications themselves, I just thought you were full of shit.
Glad that was cleared up I guess lol
No…? You’re just being incredibly aggressive over what is clearly a misunderstanding.
Given this response though I imagine we have plenty to disagree over, unfortunately.
Dude from my perspective you were lying about the details or misunderstood them, so that's what I said. You consider THAT "incredibly aggressive"?
As far as I'm concerned I don't have to adjust my tone for your sake. I'm perfectly happy with the way I've chosen to express myself.
I was talking about Dr. Phil. I was correct about what I said. A misunderstanding made you come to the (passionate) defense of Jordan Peterson, someone I was not talking about but I understand why you thought so. The correct response is “ah my bad.” Not “well if you had said what I thought you did I’d be right.” Feel free to keep doing what you’re doing though I guess. I’m sorry you feel the need to keep coming after me despite my identifying the issue lol
Slow your roll, it was just a misunderstanding.
I get what you’re trying to do man but frankly I’m not interested in this pissing match. Have a good one.
Of course! I didn’t mean to say he’s not a quack, because he sure is.
I mean, i have a doctorate, but like Phil, I can absolutely not practice psychology. (In my case it's because the doctorate is in Chemistry, not because I'm a quack and/or unethical scumbag)
EDIT: nvm, I was wrong.
Phillip Calvin McGraw (born September 1, 1950), better known as Dr. Phil, is an American television personality and author best known for hosting the talk show Dr. Phil. He holds a doctorate in clinical psychology, though he ceased renewing his license to practice psychology in 2006.

Can you give me a source for that? I want to believe you but as far as I could find he does have a doctorate, and was a practicing therapist until 2006.
Yuck, can you imagine having him as your therapist?
I’ve seen some bad therapists over the years, but nobody would hold a candle to this shitbag.
