There she blows.

There you go again. Railing about your pet peeve which no one ought to care about. The bad treatment of majority faculty.

I've excused myself from the thread but I can answer you here. The reason facts don't appear to matter is that when a perpetrator is a white man, the facts don't merely have to point to a non racial-animus motive. They have to be sufficient to remove any possibility of racial animus being present in the perpetrator, which is already impossible, because he's white.
If the perpetrator is not white, it works the opposite way. He's assumed not to have any racial motive unless he provides clear evidence of it.

Use that "actually" just like know-it-all teenagers in the same context of "I know one tiny little fact that is different from your main point"!

It doesn't help any of the readers who might need to act on the information, but I hope it gives you a little ego thrill in your life.

[namazu]

Good point.

Pot, meet Kettle.  Kettle, Pot.

Hmmmm, apparently I am a Unicorn.

Hmmmm, apparently I am a Unicorn.

Or just one of the fabulous 4%.

Spelling is fun, and a spelling bee may turn out to be the last thing you can find in the New York Times that can be relied on for accuracy.

[mahagonny]

Not only not God, he's a jackass.

[lightning]

Please stay. Every village needs their village fool.

[FishProf]

I could disagree with BOTH of you.

I thought that thread was about faculty poisoning each other. I should get my eyes tested.

Or perhaps you need to lay off the murder mysteries where last person standing gets the prize.

I should join you in getting eyes tested, as the information in the thread you saw could go along with the thread I always see about any and all victims related to the job market.
