No need, I gave the link to the post in question.

Sound's like the "devils work" for me and if you approved of it the gore is right.
Misses the point. The point is not whether you or I or anyone thinks that Professor Dini was doing "the devil's work" for expecting students to not reject a scientific view in order to get a letter of recommendation for a career in *science* (and that topic was well beat to death on that thread, no need to repeat it here other than to say that Gore3000 is misrepresenting that situation).
Entirely apart from that, the fact remains that it was amazingly insulting and presumptuous of Gore3000 to claim that the *reason* PatrickHenry (allegedly) approved of Dini's actions precisely *BECAUSE* Dini was "doing the devil's work".
