  • bilby "It made my head spin, and I said so, and I got called a pompous middle-aged male ass or something like that, and I dropped out of it, telling them I'd rather spend an hour reading Shelley than a lifetime among their ideological duels.

The sad thing is, the bullies in that club are all professors of literature somewhere or another."
