Polaris, I can appreciate your attempt to challenge us, and by all means. But if anyone is contributing to the "ruin" of "the image of academia," it's your hoc and vulgar personal attacks; true, you're on the receiving end of it a lot (especially from Min) but you're not in any way trying to elevate the discussion. So let's maybe try and do that if your motives are as pure as you claim.
