Me.

[Maxmars]

I took a unit called  Writing For The Media when I was in university. My tutor told me I was a great writer but I will never be a great journalist. He failed one of my assignments because defamation. about another high profile media presenters was a ped.  Lets not on that tangent...

I wanst failed for accusing the other journo the ped he was I was failed by only having referenced an underage sexxworker.

The ped's name is Howard Satler if you want to look  that up for the case of fact checking.

Something about the event reminds me of a past where I became notorious as someone from whom you didn't want to receive an email....  It damaged something I couldn't care less about... I was amused.

When you poke the bear... the bear will always strike back.  It's reflexive.

That tangent you boldly side-step elicits many demons.

Oh yeah, and too many people take advantage of it. Weak men like to provoke. I know you would have seen it too often in your life

It sounds as if he may have failed you because you didn't rise to the level of work of which he thought you were capable.   I'm just spitballing here, but perhaps he wanted you to go much deeper in your research and was disappointed you didn't.   I hope you took that as a right proper boot in the rear and doubled down on your research.   

I had a similar experience in college.   I wanted to work on radio, and for that I needed a communications class.   I did a paper on "propaganda and news suppression".   This was 1978.  The paper was brilliant, in my not-so-humble opinion.   The prof was stickler for bibliography.    My last paragraph was something like, since everything you've just read is also propaganda, the necessity for a bibliography is pointless.

She gave me a D.   The note at the end was something like:   "A level paper.    If you're going to go wild, then be bold.   If you had said the bibliography is bullshit, that might have been enough.   You can rewrite your paper, same subject, if you like or keep the D, if it satisfies you."   I rewrote the paper.   Completely transformed it, and this was something the prof already thought was A level stuff, but for the bibliography.  

I referenced my previous paper in the bibliography, and two citations from the King James Bible.  I got a B.

p.s.   I later got my radio show.   I started by just reading the local newspaper for the blind on Sunday morning, and then started giving the station phone number.   It sort of morphed into a Sunday morning talk show, and then later I was given regular hours and a formal talk show.   The formal talk show was never as fun as the spotenaity of the Sunday Show.  Good times.   One time it was -46 with a wind chill of -75.   It doesn't matter at that point.  Your eyeballs freeze if you aren't careful.   I had to walk four blocks to the radio station.   That was the best show ever, with people calling in to praise me for pushing through and doing the show.

Why did that statement comfort me?   

I propose that I may have been 'called' the problem (the weak man) because of what I would not agree to tolerate... stubbornly refusing to play to someone else's make-believe, ultimately immaterial, game.

Since I was ultimately unassailable... one cluster of (****)s actually resorted to creating a new position whose occupant's sole occupation was to make sure I left.  It was so enriching to my ego that I felt ashamed that they couldn't hurt me as I never wanted to work among them.  It was they who wanted me...  the guy who whirlwinds around them... finding the problems they are in the process of creating.

I found out far more than they liked.  Not that I set out to...

Sooo... I've revealed that I have had a presence in multiple career footprints... this is the closest thing I've found that is a 'shoe' that fits...  It's challenging... in a good way for me. 

Too bad there's no pay... I'd definitely try this on as a career hat!"

I meant that you have encountered many weak men, not that you are one.

My apologies even so late to the party.
