Re: My Topic Area ratings may not agree with yours



Colleagues:

I think its unprofessional, unconscionable, and indefensible (at least) 
for Dr. Tuna to express his opinions on the topic or any other CEDA
business matter publicly.  These decisions are better made with the quiet
counsel of equals and without the pressure of public scrutiny or the
possibility that his opinions might affect others.  After all, with his
having achieved the status of an exalted one, it is demeaning and
dispiriting to see him enter the public discourse as a plebian. 

The CEDA heirarchy are over-paid for their meager service but that does
not mean that they should attempt to justify their filthy lucre by
lowering themselves to entering the public fray.  But when they do, their
edicts, shallowly concealed as personal opinions, should be treated with
fear and reverence, for they have the force of law and the essence of holy
writ. 

Don't tread on me.  Long live the King Fish!  Yada, yada, yada. (or is it
Yoda, Yoda, Yoda? [for some reason I can't communicate without
paretheses]).
