AMEN.
While this is (to some extent) an educational endeavor, that
does not imply the necessity for schoolyard behavior. Opinions
differ, emotions flare, but let's not get personal just because
we disagree or some people get confused. Confusion and ambiguity
are the whoe reason discussion forums like these ever form in the

or even mean, or even stupid necessarily. But just so tiny
and meaningless and -- sad-making." ("Franny" 26)
