So I just thought you should know that my academic dean laughed his ass
off today when I told him that I'd called someone on usenet a dipshit
and why and that he should be firing me.
Just another example of the world not working the way you think it
should. He didn't even suggest I wash my mouth out with soap. Imagine
that.

Oh dear! And here I was counting on you being exclusively our own when you
had all that extra time and were no longer teaching at the university.

LOL - you rabble rouser, you. It suddenly made me think of the time (before
my infoamous advisor had his disappearing act nervous breakdown) when one of
my work-studies came to my office, shaking and crying. I had sent this nice
sophomore over to his office (across from the building my office/lab was in)
to give him a print-out of some results and pick-up something he had for me.
The girl came back - unable to speak. My officemate - well, across the
cubicle divider - and I finally got her to tell us the problem - while
stuttering, crying - she'd gotten to his office (the LH door at the end of a
T ) door wasn't latched, just slightly almost ajar, she knocked, it swung
open - and she'd heard voices. What did she find - the idiot doing an
undergrad - on his desk. Lovely. A couple of the senior faculty, the next
term, told me they'd been charting his undergrad class grades, and noted a
distinct difference in grades for cute, blonde, girls, versus the rest of
the girls, and then the general population. What a moron - it only starts
the story.
He didn't get fired. Though, after his disappearance (long story of woes
involvling several of us having to do something bizarre to get our Advanced
Fluid Dynamics credits - we knew he had issues in mid-term when he couldn't
do the chain rule in calculus) when he came back, was hospitalized, then
home, then they tried to let him bluff his way (this means grad students had
to teach his undergrad courses in the spring) then in the fall, well -
finally they let his contract go (he was up for tenure - HAH).
Nope - the world does seem to work a bit differently at times.

I know you probably didn't mean to compare calling someone a dipshit
with sleeping with ones students, but please. They're hardly in the
same league and one of them definitely would and SHOULD get me fired.
