Why do you refer to yourself as a “grunt”, a “slob”? Is that just a casual use of words, or is there more to that? Resentful, embittered still?
Thanks for the contribution, by the way. Good post. Lucid and […]

He wanted us to be honest, or as honest as we could be, and risk disapproval, from peers and authority […]

The moderator has decided you need protecting.Lokesh.
Its really super that someone as special as you would take the time to tell someone as far beneath you as I am, that you don’t care about what I say.
