It is not completely uncommon for me to be upset with stuff that Jessamyn West writes on the web. But when I do and when I am bright enough to get up from my keyboard to cool off ... lo and behold I re-read what she has said and yup ... it was my chauvinism or misogyny that was being revealed to myself. And that exposure hurts, but it is good for me. Jessamyn West is an example of what 21st century digital citizens should aspire to be.
No, librarians are just annoying, once they're politicized. I once sat next to a Ph.D. in "library science" who assured me that she was in the front line of the fight against GWB's "fascist America." With a straight face. So I asked her what her stance on Cuba and China was and she said she wasn't political. You can't make this stuff up. -XC
For sure, your one-case anecdotal evidence can be extrapolated to apply to all librarians.
Criticizing my spelling isn't a rebuttal to my point.
I know, I was joshing. If you're going to whack someone verbally, it's always best to spell bam right. Perhaps you do not know many 'professional' librarians - if I started counting I could probably name a dozen - UNC/CH has a big program. It's highly politicized, predictably doctrinaire leftism, and has an astounding unemployment rate. Draw your own conclusions about the folks who graduate. -XC
Assuming I accept all of your assertions I don't see what I can draw from it. Perhaps you could elaborate?
