Mr Platts....with your #132....where are you? where are you coming from? where are you going? I can't believe what I'm reading....and i'm trying to, not say it too loudly.

You are generally, whether intentionally or not, insulting BAUTzens here. You say, you took two graduate seminars, political, or whatever....did you participate as a teacher or as a student? I suspect, with due respect to you and your intelligence, (not..devolve to a _____-tard creativity contest)...you need to be able to absorb a bit more 'ethos' at BAUT, of BAUT.

I find your comments offensive. I know of no 'clique' here. I know of no one here, who 'snitches' on any one, here. And please, if you don't mind, don't go around implying or calling people/mods/admin names. It's not nice.
The name I use here, is my real name. My persona...online or otherwise, isn't different. Not by much. I'm probably, more of a moaner, here, than in real life.

Platts, too much theoretical induction at college is not very good or healthy. Come out of your coccoon and feel the real world, Platts. It's nice. As is BAUT.

So lighten up already. I told you before. (And I am not, not reading/quoting out of context.) I am really surprised that you actually sat down, thought (or not) this through and posted this long-winded item at #132! Amazing.

Anyway, it's nice making your acquaintance. I say it in the best possible taste. There's room for lots of people/BAUTzens here.
You have a nice day Sir.

edit:
And if you are a cricket fan, or would like to be, just now is a very good opportunity for you. The Ashes commence July 08, in England.
You talk of hostility. You know nothing. You haven't seen the divine, the sublime hostility that makes up The Ashes.
Certain things are not / cannot be taught at a school or a college.
