Gimme a break, was Re: RE: Monarchs and Monoculture in southern Michigan

[The Walkers]

Hi Anne,
 
It's not Sunday yet on this side of the pond, but your words are well taken.
 
This time Neil has crossed a strange line, however.  If I'm a fool, how can
anything I say be considered "pure gold?".  Only if he has been anxiously
waiting for me to be hurt, which I suspect that he has.  That, and his
obsessive note taking, is weird stuff, and the thought of it makes me sick.
 
The truth is that I presented him evidence of a technical career in science
and engineering that spans nearly 30 years.  He has chosen to dismiss this
evidence and discredit me based on 3 things:
 
1.  I am a creationist
2.  I think he's an idiot
3.  My score on his personality test suggested that I should be a reporter
(which I don't recall bothered me or my previous employer at all - I am most
certainly a reporter)
 
Doesn't sound logical to me, but rather a selective ignoring of data to suit
one's preconceived mindset - oh, it's precisely the thing he is accusing
Paul Cherubini of!  And me!  How interesting!
 
Mark Walker (btw - I get to pray every day.  I just don't always do it).

You've heard of people "getting their iRISH UP"? Neil is a Welshman; they're
like terriers and snapping turtles. Won't let go till it thunders.
 
He is not going to go get Marks' children; he is at heart a fine fellow. The
God he was raised with does not exist, fortunately, and he has extrapolated
from available data.
 
Neil and Mark have fought this out before, and in fact were good allies when
we were all working on the Miami Blues project. Maybe their energy could be
redirected once more into more life-affirming lines.
 
It's August; aren't there any butterflies to play with? I hate to see Leps
list wracked with the same nonsense that made Neil unwelcome on the TILS
list.
 
This will end in tears, my grandmother said, and saw to it that her prophecy
came true.
 
It's Sunday. Mark, go pray for Neil and the rest of us. Neil, go sit on a
rock and watch butterflies. Get over it. Sheetfahr, boys.
 
Cheers
