Wisdom transmission, in situ

A Philosophy of Anger
It gladdens me to see online-veteran material such as this, that turns around and offers a major hand up to newcomers.
(I'll email them about the typoes.)
(And yes, I've found a new game. :-) )

Date: 2003-01-16 03:32 am (UTC)This post came immediately after one in my livejournal from the Academic_Anonymous group. One person had posted links to this California grad student's website who attacked every powerful person in his school in his thesis acknowledgements.
Not so surprisingly, his thesis committee was reluctant to give him his degree.
This has become a first amendment issue ultimately, but I have to wonder both what was he thinking and whether or not he should have posted this Philosophy of Anger on the wall, right above his computer. The whole thing seems so unnecessary. Sure, it is a matter of free expression, but even when you take that aspect out, it becomes a stupid thing personally and professionally.
