This is kind of an ironic statement considering the only thing you really know about me are my words. Let me just say that, yes, my students sometimes have outbursts and I try to deal with them the best I can both preventatively and after the fact. I occasionally handle things poorly although it has been a long time since I lost my cool outside of rush-hour traffic in the privacy of my own obscenity-filled car. I try to admit to myself, and here, when I think I have handled things poorly. Others may disagree with my standards.

Now that you have clearly established your feelings about me, please refrain from repeated posts about my complete lack of character, ethics, honesty, etc. I think your opinion about my general lack of professional competence and general hackery have been duly established and thread-stalking is not necessary.

I do not mind the occasional exchange that involves the virtual sticking-out of tongues but generally feels like a sense of humor lurks underneath - Dan_ref comes to mind here but I maybe offbase. This feels likes somethings else entirely and I think in future exchanges with each other we should both stick closely to the spirit of the topic being discussed and not look for ways to drag out a personal grudge. Judge my ideas harshly of course, but please stick to my ideas and I will extend the same to you.
