Mr. Warner,
Surely you are not delusioning that teaching and building are
more important, and less onanistic, than this list? Sounds
like a lubricious dream.
"Occasionally ... good work." Quack, quack, onanistic
illiteralism. Friend of John "Let's Get Condescendingly Civil"
Massengale? Will you now, buffoonly like him, "rank" minds to
boot strap your own dongle?
Examples, please, do some good work here, not the institutional
professional practice exculpatory hyper-snotty drivel. Drive
out the bad stuff if you really got anything better.
