You claimed your trade was as an evolutionary biologist. Then you said you were a high school science teacher, now you have claimed and awarded yourself the generic term scientist, in hopes that a mechanic would not be able to discern the difference between a general descriptive term, and a very specific job title held in the field of science.
But although I'm not officially a high school teacher anymore and haven't been for some time, I still spend lots of time in high schools teaching teachers and students BENCH RESEARCH SKILLS. So I still consider myself a high school teacher at heart.
Waiting for that apology.
I'm sorry (yes that was a taunt) but I am not going to be able to give you your apology. If anyone deserves an apology it is me. But again I am not concerned for formalities, or the labels you seem to be obsessed with. Which means I am more than willing to forego the facade of civility, for the sake of putting this conversation back on track.
Besides you being as smart as you are should understand the exchange of pleasantries, and platitudes at this point in this conversation upon demand, is just to establish who the alpha in the conversation really is. Why would I do this after just leveling the playing field?
