Well, yeah (: If I had have known how theory based the course had been I
wouldn't have done it. Funnily enough the tutorials were very much like a
listserver in their structure, but I found it impossible to ever voice my
opinion - I'm verbose on paper/pixel but usually the quietest one in the
tutorial. It just seemed to me it was full of Section Men. There was this
one guy who (and I think I've cited him before) when one girl said about
seeing the Mona Lisa `I couldn't believe my eyes' actually responded `So.
That's very interesting. You literally could not believe what you were
seeing. That's very odd.' And it's like, God! It's a @#$% turn of phrase
!!!
That to me is your classic Section Man. People who make learning
unbearable.
