"What was read between the lines was the patented CBB name dropping.

If one wants to send Bill Cords a personal message, this isn't the time nor place to do it."

This. Is the post about Bill Cord's significant contributions to the university? Yes, in part. Does it also humblebrag. Of course it does. Patently. Does this poster do this frequently? I think so and I think his post detracted from the thread.

Also, if you are outraged and aghast that this thread about Bill (and Gwen!) has been desecrated you may be overrating the import of this board.

Nope, didn't expect it. No one is crying wolf.  Some people want to find stuff that isn't there, always has been around here...not what is said but who says the what.  Plenty of people have come out and commented to you.  I'm sure now you know that spouses are included in just about every bio MU (or any school) does.

Best of luck to the Cords moving forward.  Did a lot of good for the university, good man to work for and with.

I'm out



OK, I feel like I'm on crazy pills.

Thank you, 'ignore' button.

Did you just quote Aristotle in defense of calling out a stranger for subtly humble bragging on the internet? Not sure if that is high five or head shake worthy

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

It was more for those that ignore users when they run into legitimate opinions that they don't agree with.

I have fought with and for Chico's for nigh on a decade.    Every now and then, for my own sanity, I need to not read several hundred posts by him.   I am currently in one of those cycles.    
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.
