Kinda Kafka-esque don't you think, Joe?
I have to believe that you wrote tinged with some little irony.
I think I agree with Dick Greenhous at 7:35 PM about being annoyed by the over-reaction. And, I, not just in her case, but in many cases. To my mind the most egregious case being the crucifying of Al Campanis--a man who had done much for minorities in baseball--for an unfortunate, inelegant, inarticulate answer as to why there were so few Blacks in baseball management. Close second, Harvard faculty vote of 'no confidence' because of his comments about women and 'hard sciences' causing him to resign his presidency of the university.
