I wanted to stay out of that thread, but that argument really goes over the top. Look, ANYTHING might be perceived as a personal attack by somebody. I have seen a turd that really perceived a girl solving a math problem faster than he managed to do that as a severe personal attack. How about "student so-and-so is getting consistently better grades"? Treated as a personal attack. Rationale: "spoils the grades for the rest of the group". Or "professor so-and-so goes into hard stuff; sure, it might make the course more interesting for some weirdos, but what of those who don't need all that shit and simply want their B?" What, you don't consider those "people"? How exclusionary of you.... Sorry, they *are* members of our species. And not particulary rare, at that. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
