T: One. Uno.F: I thought there was two “M”s in “STEMM”?
T: Not at The UT.
F: What happened?
T: We had to drop the second“M” for “Medicine” to deflect those old suspicions about the real reason for the Big Merger.
F: Ahhh! The B M ... Makes sense! Good thing we kept the “M” for “Morality.”
T: Screwball, you! THAT “M” stands for “Math,” ... as in “Do the MATH!”
F: “Morality” ... “Math” ... ... “Mon-eeeeey” ... What’s the difference?
T: "Bada Bing?”
F: “Bada Bang!”
T: “Golf Tuesday?”
F: “You’re ON!”

Rage, yes. But what's "unreasonable" here? Someone cleverly calling him/herself "none" certainly possesses wits enough to see that reasonable outrage is appropriate in dire circumstances. Can you really think that circumstances are anything short of dire?

To borrow from Justice Scalia himself, you seem to be confusing a kulturkampf for a fit of spite. You are quite right in one respect: awful bosses do move on. Never soon enough, of course, but they do move on. But awful administrations linger a little longer, and awful reconfigurations of the meaning, purpose, scope, and value of the College of Arts and Sciences--and of the liberal arts--will take many years to undo. I'm afraid you underestimate the scope of the badness and I am inclined, like you, to not worry too much under ordinary circumstances. (These are not ordinary). I am not inclined, however, to troll discussion boards to lob invective. If you want to discuss, discuss. Obviously you know something that others in A&S don't. So what is the secret?
