Samuelson ...I watched the Q&A session in the video. Samuelson didn't really answer your question "What is the school afraid of?" because he didn't explain the school's actions. It sure LOOKED like they were afraid of something. It was as though he were saying, "Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?"<BR/><BR/>He could have said they were acting to prevent vandalism or fighting, but the video certainly didn't indicate that those were possibilities. Then he turned away from you even before he finished talking to you so you couldn't follow up. And it's not as though the room were full of people with questions. <BR/><BR/>Sorry. I think you pretty much got a "Go F*** yourself as an answer."cowalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261197530901965549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13929434.post-86618021660112912002007-04-24T14:10:00.000-06:002007-04-24T14:10:00.000-06:00Condescending and dismissive...about sums it up.I ...Condescending and dismissive...about sums it up.<BR/><BR/>I also see it as roughly equivalent to an "F You" but there's room for disagreement there, I suppose.InsultComicDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15119821038909085641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13929434.post-79430742412209075732007-04-24T13:16:00.000-06:002007-04-24T13:16:00.000-06:00Hi Adam, your friends and you are doing a great jo...Hi Adam, your friends and you are doing a great job and I wish you all the best. <BR/><BR/>Having said that, in my opinion, Steven's report was actually pretty accurate. Samuelson's response to you was condescending and dismissive. He might not have literally used these exact words but "go f*** yourself" is a pretty good description of Samuelson's mind set.<BR/><BR/>Samuelson made it very clear that he is the alpha male and he behaved accordingly. You did not call him by his first name and he should have returned the courtesy. More importantly, there was a need for Samuelson to justify the confiscation of private property. In lieu of that he should have apologized.<BR/><BR/>Instead, Samuelson chose to blow you off and treat you in a domineering way. It's only appropriate when Steve points that out.Hellmuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666302780491649128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13929434.post-68528337933543368282007-04-24T02:04:00.000-06:002007-04-24T02:04:00.000-06:00Amen, Adam.
