So somebody sent me this quote from Gordo's blog and...
Quote | Reply
...is it me or is he talking about Andrew Coggan in this paragraph here:

"Intellectual Domination -- I watch media pundits (and cyber celebrities) claim to be guardians of the truth while engaging in satire and bullying. Their actions cloaked in humor and/or intellectual superiority while seeking to subdue any discussion that runs counter to their ideas. Spending one's talent bullying the students (we once were) strikes me as the path of a wasted life. There is a higher way available to us."

Yup - but then the fact is if you look at the resume's of his students...maybe being a bully works?

Phooey. Being a bully is a sign of insecurity and a way of compensating for same. Doesn't matter if it is a schoolyard bully or an academic bully, they are all the same in my opinion, simply different venues. Any student who graduates from such a situation usually does not have particlarly fond memories of their time there, despite what they learn.

Don't be so modest. Here's the title you wanted to write:

So Frank - your thought is that Paulo stated this thread so that we could flame him? There is no question that he would try to retort any claims about him on the site....then again, he did tell off Gordo's mom on ST if I recall properly.

Fact is he may hate me...but for some reason I like him, and not cause I feel for him like I do a baby bird with a broken wing.

I like it. That just might replace this quote on my screensaver:

"Not only has Dr Coggan never undertaken any studies of this topic, but he enjoys the rare privilege of the laboratory exercise scientist – absolute immunity from responsibility for any outcomes resulting from his advice." ------ Dr. T. Noakes 06/22/07


Nah... Noakes' is still better.

Exactly what I thought. And it's never about me anyway, I am nobody. So yeah, I still think it's about Andrew Coggan.

I really don't have a clue why Paulo does anything here. It seems he is currently in a tiff with AC and so maybe this was aimed towards him but who would know? I did think it unusually perceptive of Gordo to write what he did though. I doubt Paulo thought the quote pertained to him since it started with "intellectual domination". Paulo just seems to want to denigrate others, not dominate, let alone "intellectually dominate". :-)

Maybe it's not either/or. Notice the plural.

What I find funny is the fact you pretended someone sent you this. We all know you read Gordo's blog daily.

I don't think he's talking about you specifically but you have moments where you match the profile.

It's the internet, what do we expect? I don't hate on you for it, you're just not invited to my birthday party.

IMHO, Gordo wasted his time writing that paragraph, as I did writing this sentence.

Putting aside the whole am I notable enough to get super Gordo's attention and warrant a quote on his blog question, here's what I ask you-- If, hypothetically, the quote were about you directly, how would you respond to Gordo's critique to your style?

Just wondering...

While likely true (and funny), your reply is a nice dodge of my question. I won't dig any further if you're not comfortable going there.
