I think that you are now trolling. i did not present him as malevolent, i presented my interpretations of his situation. I personally think there is going to be a difference between his portrayal of his actions and his perceived actions. I am just skeptical of his position given prior actions. I am sure that everyone would agree that he is attempting to do something, and where we might disagree is how to interpret that. again, phrases such as 'true scholarship' might be considered derogatory. My sole point was to say to fellow members of the list that you should investigate the situation more fully before you commit to working with someone. If they do investigate this situation more fully, I expect they will come to worrysome conclusions. That is my opinion of people who I suspect have a well developed capacity for judgment. It is not scholarship, they can do that on their own.
