ignominiac 

A term based on ignominy and maniac.
This is a person who is intent on being a noted authority or discoverer by the use of such things as selective plagiarism, rampant falsification or just plain ignorance. When this results in public shame and disgrace, an ignominiac will persist nonetheless and may ultimately become a glorious antihero to some.
The term could also be used for a rumor monger - well-known or otherwise.
An historical example of an ignominiac is Willard Glazier who (in the 1880s) visited the area of the upper Mississippi River in Minnesota and came up with his falsified proof of the actual ultimate source of the river which he named after himself. Eventually the Minnesota legislature ordered schools to not teach his findings as fact.

Since the Michael Moore tribe has officially become Stalinist and banned any more speech critical of Moore by their new Mooron administrator, Moore's America hating idiotic lies and propaganda clearly show that he and all who listen to him are ignominious and should be forever banished from society.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
