There is probably no point objecting, dear Teribus, that you not only never read anything I wrote, but you never knew the circumstances behind it. Far from having what I wrote dictated to me, I spent those few hack years trying to swim upstream against the steady flow of garbage that local politicians and self-proclaimed "experts" on this and that were dishing out.

It is not ever justified for anyone to condemn an entire profession on the basis of some of its members. It is within the bounds of Mudcatness, unfortunately, but not of polite or rational behavior.

You owe all of us an apology.
