How about if we set fire to the horse instead? Because...

Sorry.

lolz.

the firemen made me miss most of the drama in this post. So sad. And yet, not.

Because if we set fire to the horse, maybe the firemen will come? :)

This strikes me as laughably uptight and pompous.

Some of us are here b/c we're planning on going into academia, and want to see what we're getting into. :p

Apparently, it's petty bullshit, so hey, I'm pretty well prepared!

elricmelnibone September 27 2007, 00:03:07 UTC

What field doesn't have its fair share of petty bullshit?

I wish people would stop pointing the finger at academia, as if the rest of the world were somehow free from all this.

withfangs September 27 2007, 00:09:15 UTC

That was my point, dude.

"I'm pretty well prepared", as in, I've dealt with a good deal of pettiness in my life.

Seriously. Two people at my mom's work (biotech) just started dating and it's become One Whole Big To-Do.

mod of antiacademia here aspasia02 September 28 2007, 14:22:14 UTC

Just to clarify, please realize that antiacademia is also a graduate student community. We do not scream this fact in our user info because we don't feel the need to drive people away with sticks and flaming torches, but we do define ourselves as a group for those currently enrolled in graduate school.

We also try to stay as far away from this kind of polarizing snark as possible, so please leave us out of this scuffle.
