Maybe your position was wrong. I know, hard to believe that you’re not some poor persecuted victim and might have just made a mistake.

This isn’t primary school.

Would you please follow the site guidelines when posting here? They include "Don't be snarky." We're hoping for this place to be at least a little better than internet default. Scorched earth, the end state of aggressive posting on the internet, is not interesting.

“Don’t be human.” Noted. Feel free to delete my account. If you ever learn how human beings work... well, I won’t care. Enjoy your bubble of ignorance and right-wing terrorism

Snark is a normal interaction in civilized society and academia and has been throughout recorded history. It has nothing to do with the internet. Feel free to delete my account from your bubble of ignorance.

Maybe. Or maybe my previous positions were wrong but I just knew how to play the professor like a fiddle (which higher education incentivizes), and then went off-key intentionally just to see what would happen. Never know.
