I have never participated in the cannibalism barbecue riffs i've seen on other threads. I find them distasteful. There is a long SI history of that joke. Steven and Janice Shell were among the early practitioners, I believe.

Remember: what you are looking for is not proof that X is a bad person or a good one according to the interpretations or conclusions of any of us. What you are looking for is any one of the 'repeated' occasions on which X, herself, 'mentioned' that she has a 'distaste' for, for example, such values truth, justice, principles, etc.

Edit: I'm answering you selectively? Do you know how many posts I've made today? Give me a break. And i have 17 messages in my inbox right now! eeeek. |
