Maybe I did a bad thing?

now I feel sorta guilty but sorta not.
I sorta hope he chokes on it.

He once told me that the Beat poets were bad people (b/c of drug/alcohol abuse, multiple marriages and the like) and that Poe was "rather a scummy" person. I am recalling all of this to you only to remind myself of what an uptight blue meanie this guy really, truly is--despite his outer shell of chocolate goodness.


I know you guys think I'm a hopeless obsessive. Now look-you've made me cry.

For prof 'tard hack:
Beat poets and Poe weren't known for being insensitive idiots either. This is the tale of artists vs. biographers. You can say all you want about personality defects of the authors of the classics. That does not make you an author of the classics, just a hack psychotherapist that can write and speak about real artists and true genius. It doesn't make you one.

Look Einstein's shoes were untied!! Ha-haaa! (idiot)

Anyhoo...The line you wrote him will not reach him. He obviously doesn't care if you drown. He should be choking on disciplinary action by the university or a board of his peers.

The truth about Poe is that he had little money and was caught trying to borrow money from his guardian (took the name and never was officially adopted)and was denied as an adult. People thought he was a schlep rock because he was a night owl, did not come from money of his own, was an orphan, and was given an education anyway. He did not get an inheritance and was constantly on the fringes of the elite crowd but was never accepted. The elite crowd at the time was born of money and engaged in the same activities as he, but he was less prestigious. In his lifetime he was published in a few journals but did not gain true fame until after his death. He had trouble with money and had no lineage to speak of....He was doing the same durgs as everyone else at the time but he was poor. Financially ruined. People say a lot about dark, financially ruined artists but that does not make those people any more talented, just jealous of someone they deem to be inferior in the class system.

Your elitist prof is doing the same to you, just there to judge your ruin as undignified, no matter how good you are in school, and especially if you are more gifted than he. Welcome to the class system. Karouac probably has more talent in his back molar rotting in the ground than your professor. And will probably be known to the world longer.Sorry.You are dealing with a high-brow embarrassing hack. I'm no better, but at least I know better than to be slanderous about individuals that could kick my ass is a brain-off. Dead or living.

Let's look at it like this...Your professor is inferior to certain individuals and may use tons of excuses and a series of arguements about certain folks because he knows he is mentally inferior. The fact that he cares so much, and hates his self that much, is the disappointment. You just happen to be in the line of fire, and then you get to watch the horrible show.

My personal opinion about your professor really doesn't matter.....But as long as we are obsessing on this lets go all out...

You feel rejected and humiliated, and admit it, it's because part of you knows what an intellectual hack you gave into, and now you are even more hurt by it. If this realization doesn't hit you now..believe me.......

Just an outsiders view here.....

You didn't do a bad thing at all. Stop accepting guilt for the blatant stupidity of this guy. This is not your fault.
