[Vision2020] Holy cr*p, Schwaller! [was School District Math]

[Joe Campbell]

Dr. Crabtree,

I'm very offended! Do you think I would hang out at a place that sold beer for $5? How much do you think philosophers make? $1 with your own mug and $1.25 otherwise.

Dr. Schwaller would be a big laugh, indeed, if it weren't for the fact that he's got otherwise good and intelligent people like your self completely fooled.

Dr. Schwaller: If you're reading this, I can only be at the One World for an hour tomorrow -- from noon to 1 pm -- for I have to meet with a student in Pullman at 1:30. This shouldn’t be a problem since you don’t exist.

Final note to Crabtree: Nearly all of your posts make the same point: A is a hypocrite because he says X about B even though X applies equally to C and A has said nothing about C!

I've point out a few times that this is a lousy argument. There is not enough time in the day to criticize everyone, so we have to pick carefully. For instance, a lot of people have criticized Schwaller but so far you’ve only replied to Keely and me. Try to get another argument, just for the summer. Please.

Mr. Campbell,

Where are you and Ms. Mix's manners? You two have been courting Schwaller as 
though he were a prancing rock star and totally ignoring the other 
purportedly anonymous contributors to our little list. Just imagine how left 
out poor T. Scimitar, P.Place, B. Herodotus, and last but mostly least J. 
Ford  must feel. You should both know how hurtful it is to see the pretty 
girls be asked to the cotillion but the *others*  have to stay home sobbing 
into their little satin pillows for lack of that oh so important invitation. 
In an attempt to make amends I demand that all the afore mentioned ladies 
appear front and center in New St. Andrews square tomorrow at 12:00 to 
answer for various comments made on this forum with which I disagree and to 
receive instruction from me in proper deportment and decorum from a pleasing 
gcrabtree perspective. When we are finished we will march in an orderly 
fashion down to the One World (& $5.00) Coffee Joint Mr. Schaller and his 
instructor for Dancing and "Atmosphere." Should you refuse to show up (as 
I'm certain you will) I too will discontinue "conversations with you about 
social or philosophical issues on Vision 2020." I can but imagine how 
copiously the tears will flow at that point.

If you find my demeanor pompous and my demands unreasonable or even 
ridiculous...

P.S. Mr. Fox if you should happen to read this admonition and invitation it 
will be apparent that we need one more spry male to even up the dance 
partners. If you know of one please send him on down.
