Looney,

Although you will probably never make it back here, you must have known writing a comment like that would draw personal attacks. So, this is for the other hundreds just like you out there.

First, it is written from a viewpoint from so high on your high-horse that you lose your audience in the first paragraph.

Second, being a TA does not qualify you as a philosopher. You still need to learn how to relate to an audience you are speaking to, instead of deliberately trying to speak over them. Try reading something other than textbooks once in a while. When not in class, relax. This is exactly the mistake the TA made in the article.

Third, you do not DO epistemology. Besides, people understand the law of gravity. What they have trouble with is the environment the problem is placed in.

Loosen up! How clear is that?
