Not sure what you're up to with these, RB, and I'm with SE on not particularly wanting to stick around for much more of it. Amis is not just 'unfortunate' in his views, he's very dangerous.
 

So refreshing that SE and RT have finally had enough of RB's misogyny etc. -- while he's masquerading as the straight talk express, of course. So, where do we go now that this blog is a dead duck? SE, or RT, or Egret, or HL: one of you please start up a list so we can exchange what's up at Harvard without dealing with RB's head-up-the-ass crap.
 

Are you people serious? Do you really seriously think that this blog should be devoted exclusively to "what's up at Harvard"? You're not serious...really???? There's a whole other world out there...people, RT, you are a professor I have admired...don't they teach you tolerance at Harvard? I'm surprised at you. (Nothing surprises me about Standing Eagle.) Harvard will always be important to Richard and when there's something interesting to report I'm sure he'll report it. And the few of you will read it and the rest of us will be bored. There hasn't been anything interesting at Harvard since Larry Summers. The rest of us hang in there for the other stuff. And some didn't hang in there because they got bored with Harvard. Would you believe that? Those who have, that's called tolerance and loyalty. Do you know anything about that? And his "misogyny"?? I looked that up because I thought I knew what it meant but couldn't believe what I saw. Richard...a misogynist? That is too funny. Why, because he's not a Hillary Clinton fan? Because Samantha Power screwed up which she did and he said so? I'm a woman and I'm not a Hillary Clinton fan...in fact, I'm a bit of a misogynist. Richard made excuses for Samantha Power, I wouldn't...one of your Harvard types, I believe. The Greatest Game comes out on the 18th...I'm looking forward to it. The great diversity of Richard's writing is what makes him interesting. And if Harvard is all you know and want to hear about don't tell me who's got their head up their ass...I got news. So start up a list.

Richard—pretty sure I wrote "unconscionable," and not "unfortunate."
 

Richard,
Read Kristof in today's Times. I don't necessarily object to discussions of gym use and the like, but the post I replied to (this one) seemed to be going beyond that. So, yes, Impaulsen, tolerance is the issue. Nor do I think RB should stick to Harvard material. And no blog for me, since my typing skills aren't up to it.
 

Nick Kristof and I can agree: The whispers that Barack Obama is a Muslim are offensive both because of their nasty purpose and because of their implication that there's something wrong with being a Muslim.
