And I was simply suggesting that it's not polite to start telling people what to do in a forum you have only just joined. It's not an unreasonable point really.
sorry, i didn't mean to make it sound that mean
i'm getting a bit ahead of myself maybe

It's all good, Isilme.

Once you have called someone a "breakfast pooper", it doesn't seem all that much worse to tell them to GTF out.

True enough, and of course anyone can tell anyone else whatever they like (unlss they start talking about cunts). But it's a good idea to get to know what's going on before you start laying down the law. Otherwise you might, for example, chastise people for slagging off the frantard, without taking into account the fact that he is a worthless scumbag who deserves everything he gets, and much much more.

You can always turn tricks for a few extra bucks. If looks are an issue, there's the glory hole option, but don't expect more than ... tips.

Are these real options put forth by a university?
That's similar to the question that popped in my head. Ross, do you have an email address to this instructor/professor/teacher that gave you this assignment? I'd like to send him some hate mail.

I guess I view both of their posts like someone taking a shit on your breakfast. Knupfer's is pure diarrhea all over the place. Maybe Francis' is solid. Technically it could be removed and some of your eggs could be salvaged, but would you really want to eat them?

Why? It seems a legit (if slightly simplistic) history/philosophy of science question to me.

Actually ignore that post, cause I'm not sure why I made it. It was late at night and I was sort of cranky at that time.
