OK, CP finally responded to my rant from last night, telling me to "cool it," that she never meant to say I was relying on the Sharpe books instead of doing research, and reiterated her point of disagreement with me without citing any sources to back her up.
I win because I cited sources, right? I shouldn't dignify her post with a further response, because she's obviously not going to believe me no matter how many authorities I wave in her face?
It's just...she's defending Romanceland Conventional Wisdom in a case where it's wrong. And she acts like she's such a research expert herself, and I'm like, "How can she claim that when she's arguing for something I've scene disproved in at least five places, two of which are Major Works that have been around for decades?" And from previous research debates, I get the impression she's dismissing what I say because I'm 20 years younger than she is and not from a Commonwealth country.
Tongue in cheek isn't necessarily poor taste, Tommy!
I got this for my cousin's husband when they found out she was pregnant. She's due any day now, as a matter of fact. He's an engineer so he found it very suited to him as opposed to the touchy-feely parenting books out there.
Owen had a stellar first day of school. It's so cool walking through the halls of an actual elementary school and seeing the rooms and all the kids. I hope he continues to like it.
Go, askye!
YAY Owen at school! Yay askye kicking interview ass and taking names!
Susan, I'd let it drop, if only so I wouldn't be tempted to respond to a comment like "cool it." It's not worth the rise in blood pressure.
Burrell, you're right--my bp is high enough as it is! I just hate being condescended to...
I know, I'm the same way.
Put your righteous anger to work, since you want to clean! take out the frustration on the dust bunnies!
Well, I'm still at work for another hour, and then I'm picking up Annabel for our weekly library trip. So I have to save up my righteous anger and not spill it onto innocent chaplain interns, daycare teachers, or librarians!
Cash, my cousin the pedetrician got that book for his sister who is due in May.
