Self-control ...

... Thank You For Not Expressing Yourself. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

... much of the abuse, even the vilest, came from university professors. Almost to a man (or woman), they said that what I had written was so outrageous, so ill-considered and ill-motivated, that it was not worth the trouble of refutation. On the other hand, they thought its author was worth insulting, if their practice was anything to go by.

  1. I've received a lot of vitriol over the years. The worst of it has come from university professors, who really should know better. However, I did have a very civil disagreement and exchange of views with Jonah Lehrer recently, proving that there are always exceptions to the rule. Exceptions that, with time, transform into regular practice.
