Huh? I think I missed something.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

The feeling is mutual Teachy.
You just can't make this stuff up.
I would never impugn you by believing such a thing....
But knowing what a good girl you are, I am sure that stops at thoughts and feelings, and leaves the decision making where it belongs.... ; ) DUCKING!!!!
Hillary, the undeclared candidate, watches the men sortie on C-Span, her haughty emir tones polluting the still air, as she tries ‘em on for size, and says that “real men rise to the occasion,” her sarcasm indicating that, in 2004, a mense riot of unseemly proportions will befall the earth in meteors of horror that will make Americans nostalgic for the semen riot that her husband subjected us to, diddling and fiddling with cigars and items Nero or Caligula could never have imagined.
Old Thunder Thighs ( i.e., Monster Butt), her dry skin only partially relieved by moistener applied in great gobs, writes note to self: "remit nose job money immediately so work on jowls may commence." Her screech speech the other night caused remotes in millions of hands everywhere to press millions of mute buttons. From her witch’s head down to her coal miner toes, Hillary emits Reno-like sounds that reverberate in an iron-meets-iron crescendo of lies and innuendo. She proudly proclaims, “The term ‘neo’ is now being applied to the vast right-wing conspiracy.” (Another note to self: "Omit sneer when smiling. Also, stop eating ere I’m tons overweight.")
“I spoke to the Pope when he came out against this war. I sent Rome a list of my positions (now that we’ve prevailed) and informed him that while it is a mere sin to go to war, it is a mortal sin to allow the Iraqi people to suffer. I met senior people in the Department of Defense, and, while I make no predictions, (a seer I’m not ) -- omens tire me out, it will soon be snore time for that little monkey in North Korea if he continues to threaten the women and children of this country.”
It is hardly a neoteric act for me to draw your attention to the latest columns by Mark Steyn, but I'm gonna do it anyway. So there.
And, Bella, I confess that I haven't got the faintest idea what you're talking about in the beginning of your post (which just shows how out of the loop I am around here,) but thanks for the explanation, anyway. I'm a very sensitive soul, you know. ;-)
I usually don't post on this daily much, and usually not "homework". I do lurk daily, and pop by once in a while to say "hello". I believe you are familiar with my wife.
I took a gander at what was happening last night, along with a few others here, and had an opinion I was willing to keep to myself, at least until I read today's opening lecture. Since your compulsion was to post in public what's on your mind, then it's OK by me to post this in the same space, only in smaller black letters.
Really, I would not have advised this level of exposure for a demonstration of your techniques for winning friends and influencing people.
Let's take this step-by-step, shall we?
1. First off, I do not dislike WFTD nor do I dislike any of you.
Gee, thanks! I feel better not being disliked. I bet a lot of people feel better not being disliked. Being remotely liked would be better than the back-handed comment you make here.
I rather do like you all quite a bit.
Make up your mind. Actions speak louder than words, and they're not saying you like anybody at all.
2. Second, I think my own thoughts, I have my own feelings. The person who I am with is NOT MY FREAKING SPOKESPERSON. Therefore, DO NOT ASSUME ANYONE ELSE'S WORDS ARE MINE. Believe it or not, even though I am female I do not rely on a male to provide my thoughts and feelings for me. People that do that are weak.
I'd be willing to place a small wager that a few people in here have had maybe one relationship with another person, and know that we are our own spokespeople. It is also, however, assumed that if one does not make a contradictory statement, then the other half is, indeed, "acting as your spokesman".
Maybe this person wasn't being your spokesman. Maybe he was. I started off assuming he was not, but your lack of rebuttal turned me around. I'm sure it turned a few others as well. Until I saw your morning monologue, I assumed that SCG was blowing smoke about your hating the class, but the way you treat the people you profess to like contradicts your point #1.
3. If you have any more ASSUMPTIONS or questions, you can FReepmail me, instead of having a FReepmail whisper-a-thon with each other, okie dokie?
I bet at least one person tried. Whisper-thon? I saw some of the "whispers", and let me tell you something: All I saw were 100% supportive of you, and sympathetic to whatever situation produced the commentary we've seen of late. Recognition that you're in a spot, and how best to help you through it.
Friends supportive of friends, imagine that!
Now, I find you bitching out those who stood by your side to help you in a time of need. This is the thanks they get.
One of the most reliable expressions I've seen in my life is the expression, "No good deed goes unpunished". A corrolary would be, the more selfless the deed the nastier the repercussions. People were lining up to stand by you and support you in however you chose to deal with things, and your preferred method of dealing with things is to slap them the first and the hardest.
Way to go, Tiny Dancer. You'll be lucky if anybody bothers to submit anything to you for a grade. Look at just today: You drop a t*rd in the classroom punchbowl, then you blow everybody off for the rest of the day.
If this were a real class, and I were a real parent of a student, I'd be pounding my real fist on the real Principal's desk, insisting on a real unemployment check for you. Even the teacher's unions wouldn't stand behind you.
But, that is not the reality. The reality is you are a starter of a daily thread, and that's all. If you want to treat the folks who post on this daily like crap, it's your business. Just don't call your whaaaambulance when folks refuse to acknowledge you.
Please remove me from your ping list. I'd like to be re-added when another teacher shows up from the college.
I guess I need to come to class more often.
Bump to read later.
