A NOTE ON SCHOLARSHIP

Legg inn av Bill Arnold » 23 nov 2007 01:36:02

HI, GEN-MEDIEVALERS :)

I, Bill Arnold, scholar, have been on gen-medieval long enough
to write *a note on scholarship.* This is coming about because
I was not born yesterday. I have recently been taken to task for
not responding to posts when the subject heading was *Digest.*
Nice. Not very scholarly, the challenge to my ignoring that. I
have recently had a gent take to task my posts, one by one looking
for lint. And yet, the very same gent *ignored* one of my own
posts in which he was caught red-handed in a huge unscholarly
post. And, then, there is the insipid poster who loves terrible
British food and to attack anyone and everyone: and then play
kissy-kissy to those scholars he wishes to curry favor with. O,
yes, there is that supposed-scientist who takes all my posts apart
and forever ignoring the gen-medieval content and what this
list is all about, genealogy, and he too is looking for lint. I suggest
he study his navel, which is what he is doing anyway. So: to end
my note on scholarship I will express my appreciation to Don Stone
and his fine list for his academic freedom to allow us to speak our
minds and to Douglas Richardson for his scholarly posts, despite
the abuse he takes. Sure, I also respect Leo and Will for their fine
websites. But the latter two gents ought to temper their tongues
when they take on the lion, Douglas Richardson. If you do not
know he is the lion on this board then you probably do not know
who Gary Boyd Roberts is either. So: if I do, in fact, ignore certain
posters as I have the insipid-one, that is of my choosing. And if
they wish to continue their lint-seeking missions, well, so what.
I could care less. I am a scholar, and I know how to play the
game as well as the best of them. I can ignore, retort, whatever,
as my gut and my mind push me at that moment just like the
rest of the world of scholars. C'est la vie!

Bill

I don't receive your posts through GEN-MEDIEVAL. I receive this
newsgroup through soc.genealogy.medieval

Therefore, I don't receive digests. I don't think I'm alone.

Time to adjust the dosage on the psychotropic meds?

Actually, that thread has removed itself from food and is more about the
British/English constitution.

Bill, old boy. You are calling someone a "supposed-scientist" in the
same sentence in which you complain of the lack of attention to the
medieval material. Doesn't this strike you as inconsistent?

Let's see, how did we get onto your antiquated version of the cosmos?
Oh, that was you. How did we get onto my supposed sexual
orientation? Oh, yeah, that was you too.

So, your complain really is "He ignores what I want to talk about and
only discusses what I actually do talk about", or even in the latter
case "I can't insult him without him responding", poor dear.

Only I haven't ignored the medieval content either. You have been
told again and again what the problems are. Told by me, told by Nat,
told by Renia, told by Will, told by Diana. In response we have been
told that we are unscholarly, unscientific, uneducated, and generally
uncouth. We have been told that things are true simply because you
say they are, or because Ira B. Peck said they are. We have been told
that things we have been disputing for weeks are beyond dispute, again
by simple Arnoldian proclamation. You have no cause for whining when
your real complaint is that we have not jumped on your Peck bandwagon,
but rather pointed out that it has a flat tire, and the band is out of
tune, and the emperor has no clothes.
