scaeagles, with all due respect, i think you should have stopped when you laid out your case for 3894 not being qualified to pass judgment. She was attempting to do the same with you as to qualifications for tenure, and she laid out hers.

You countered that she has no such rigorous qualifications for many of the other areas in which she offers an opinion, and neither do many of us.

It should have stopped there. Calling her "the most arrogant and condescending poster here" crosses the border into name-calling and personal insult.

I'm not a mod here anymore, but this would have tripped my radar. I know things got a little heated, and an errant insult that slips into the political debates is to be expected from time to time. Fortunately for the good graces of the LoT, it RARELY does.
