Well either she earned it or she didn’t. If you believe she earned it, we are on the same page. If that is true, I’m very glad to hear it.
If you believe the thesis was ‘groundbreaking’, you need to back that up. From what I’ve seen it was fairly obscure & humdrum. Most dissertations languish in obscurity, as do their authors. That is just the way academia works.
There’s no need to get accusatory, or worse, w me. I’m not accusing you of anything. I’m trying to reason this out politely. If I got the impression, from a post you made, [that you thought somebody said a ‘mouthful’ by casting doubt on SADO earning her Ph.D], and that impression was in error, please correct me politely. Thank you in advance.
Take your own advice.
I begin to get the picture. We’re not to be individuals here with the right to independent thought. We’re to choose up sides. If we happen on one day to agree with one faction on one topic, then henceforward we must continue to march in lockstep with that faction on all topics and never “hear” or acknowledge what another faction says about anything, much less agree with it.
When I said that Fred said a mouthful, that’s exactly what I meant. Fred said a mouthful. So did you.
So does everybody who opines here at Free Republic, and thank God and the moderator for giving us a forum, have to agree with you on every point and also live by your dictates?
I leave it to the readers to decide who’s being polite and reasonable.
Not since high school. I said a mouthful there, btw.
