Whenever someone starts an argument by listing items from their resume, you can expect that argument to include an appeal to authority.
"I used to work in this industry (as what, a janitor?), so trust me when I act as if I'm an expert in the field"
"I identify with <demographic group>, so I'm obviously qualified to speak for the whole group"
"I got these bullshit credentials from a web-based diploma mill, so my reddit arguments are stronger than yours"
