For a long time, the rule here is that whoever can cut someone off at the knees in the cleverest way wins. That may be the "in" thing for young, white males, but community it does not make.

One clue to this? I noticed a very long time ago that if I wanted to say something personally snarky, there were plenty of emoticons to choose from. However, if I wanted to thank someone, or to express appreciation, there are very FEW emoticons. I found myself using the same one over and over and over.

While that sounds minor, I think it points to a basic problem, at the basic level... the administration. It shows where their collective heads are at.
