I was appreciating the untapped potential of your open hostility for the assessment fetish with a Hindu reference: the god Shiva is "the destoyer"-of illusion, habit, empty form, etc., so simultaneously the creator of new life, or, in this case, the possibility of a living process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19319617.post-16671296944775510532007-10-10T10:37:00.000-04:002007-10-10T10:37:00.000-04:00Umm ... what exactly is a "Shiva element"?

But given that I've taken a turn away from administration, I'm not certain. Also, I might be too openly hostile of NEASC's fetish for assessment to get asked to be on one of their teams.davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08969488784882092445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19319617.post-11254421556246721332007-10-02T10:42:00.000-04:002007-10-02T10:42:00.000-04:00Congratulations; quite an accomplishment!

I'm definitely interested to hear what he and the rest of the review team have to say. So far I think things have gone well. From what I can tell, nobody's soul has been crushed. Yet.davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08969488784882092445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19319617.post-27066326599572836312007-10-01T15:39:00.000-04:002007-10-01T15:39:00.000-04:00Your soul crushing guy looks very enthusiastic in ...Your soul crushing guy looks very enthusiastic in a bottom-dwelling invertebrate scholar sort of way. I like to think that a redeeming quality of the otherwise tedious self-assessment/peer review process is that it invites consideration of The Other-in the Levinas sense, hopefully not the monster movie sense...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
