It is obvious Dr Cooke never held an academic appointment at the disputed university. That he displays the things he used to delude himself that he did is not sinister, it is not actionable, it is simply sad and displays his manifest inadequacies.<BR/><BR/>By pointing this out continually Paul you are mocking the afflicted which does not make you look good. This move by the NZARH is presumably a response to your appearance at the AGM. It therefore represents a victory for you. Be magnanimous in that victory, you will look much better for it.<BR/><BR/>Peter<BR/>In very sunny Dundee, the whole of the UK is NOT under water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36994129.post-1598778677395093142007-07-26T18:39:00.000+12:002007-07-26T18:39:00.000+12:00There are those of us out there, trapped knee-deep...There are those of us out there, trapped knee-deep in muck in outer Absurdistan, who might be interested in being kept abreast of any developments in Cooke's straits. <BR/><BR/>Stop acting the herring, Red. It's not always to indulge himself that he publishes here. More often it's to indulge the rest of us.<BR/><BR/>Robt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36994129.post-23025365328384259492007-07-25T22:26:00.000+12:002007-07-25T22:26:00.000+12:00I think your bitterness has led you to lose perspe...I think your bitterness has led you to lose perspective on the situation. Surely you have to admit that <I>prima facie</I>, the letter completely legitimises Cooke's claim to the position.<BR/><BR/>My perception is this: Bill Cooke probably has not misrepresented himself. Even if he has misrepresented himself, it was almost certainly not deliberate; and in any case the end result is relatively trivial. <BR/><BR/>You need to be careful that you don't start sounding like a bitter, obsessive crackpot.<BR/><BR/>I say this as someone who has had minimal dealings with the NZARH, and someone who admires you a great deal, especially for your work on the former incarnation of 'The Fundy Post.'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
