[news.groups] YUPPIES, QUEERS and BEAN COUNTERS

waldron@newport.rutgers.edu (James Waldron) (11/29/89)

 
     UNITEX is alive a well and living in the 'etherNet'.....
     All rumors reporting our demise our greatly exaggerated.  So
     much for theatrics....
     
     Apparently, there is a major shift and change underway in
     our society... like the wunderjhare of radical emotive
     therapy (ala Albert Ellis) and what spawned a new age of
     self-involved, self-referential brats...voila ---> the age
     of yuppie enlightenment (actually an oximoron but useful for
     effect). All this will hopefully pass very soon. "Oh
     Albert...can this really be the end..  to be stuck inside a
     network with the braindead blues again..."
     
     There is an obvious lack of communication and understanding
     regarding the recent resignation of the 
     misc.headlines.unitex moderator.  This very medium is ideal
     for fostering such a BIG lack of understanding about what
     really was involved. I'm convinced that no one really
     cares. I am told that I am pompous and have no real
     understanding of how UseNet operates by people (like Brad
     Templeton...you gotta be kidding) that seem a lot more 
     pompous than I ever did and certainly a lot less
     knowledgeable of this Network or any network for that
     matter. 
     
     Big business, governments, the nonprofit community and the
     academic environments are suffering from what I've tried to
     highlight in a simple, straightforward title to this
     message.
     
     The facts don't seem to interest anyone anymore. In fact, what 
     UNITEX was doing or the pioneering effort made by UNITEX 
     (statements made by the National Science Foundation on behalf 
     of UNITEX) was of no importance to anyone except the usually
     'bright few'..... 
     
     Electronic networks are a valuable conduit for real information.
     Unfortunately they are a poor substitute for channeling peoples
     hostility, frustration and bitterness or whatever new dilemmas
     are pressing hard on modern yuppie man. 
 
     If anyone out there is engaged in research or actually
     trying to DO something, then I'm sure my title description
     needs little explanation.  For the others..... it's simply
     not worth my time to explain.....

Hardly.  Most of the rest of your article consisted entirely of
theatrics.  It started with your article's Subject: and goes downhill
from there.  Case in point, especially the 2nd parenthesized comment:

	our society... like the wunderjhare of radical emotive
	therapy (ala Albert Ellis) and what spawned a new age of

	network with the braindead blues again..."

Berke Breathed might be able to pull such stuff off, but you do not
appear to be similarly gifted.

Having just read Dorothy Nicklus' side of the issue, and now having
read this article, I'm entirely convinced that UNITEX is solidly on
the side of error, and that Patt (and Gene and Chuq and, if I remember
correctly, Greg) did the correct thing in leaving the newsgroup behind.

Those folks have a very long and mostly honorable history on the
Usenet, and their outlook on the situation can be taken with only a
small grain of salt.  In contrast, the verbage since then coming from
UNITEX has been uniformly abusive, rude, and making a serious effort
to discredit anyone who might have disagreed with your party line.  I
don't buy it.

	There is an obvious lack of communication and understanding
	regarding the recent resignation of the 
	misc.headlines.unitex moderator.

The appearance from my perspective is that you are equating
"disagreement with us" with "lack of communication."  All
communication which has been relayed to us (I note quite carefully
that no one from UNITEX made the first effort to discredit Chuq's
summary of email discussion regarding the appropriateness of your
postings) has pointed very clearly to the UNITEX people taking the
outlook that what they wanted to do was Right and that opinions
contrary to that were not to be tolerated.

Nonsense.  People with that kind of attitude deserve to be ignored.
This of course could leave one wondering why I am bothering with this
followup; it has to do with the statement shortly following:

	I'm convinced that no one really cares.

Actually, a lot of us care very much.  I have withheld forming any
really definitive opinion one way or the other until I could hear the
other side of the issue.  Now I have heard that side - now I have an
opinion which you caused to be formed in my mind through the outlook
you have provided.  The opinion is already low and dropping fast.

	I am told that I am pompous and have no real
	understanding of how UseNet operates by people...that seem a lot more 
	pompous than I ever did and certainly a lot less
	knowledgeable of this Network or any network for that
	matter.

Attempting to discredit your entire opposition as being incompetent to
discuss the matter in general is not a way to win people to your side.
Very many people on the Usenet have done serious networking for a very
long time, longer than UNITEX has been around by quite a margin.

	Big business, governments, the nonprofit community and the
	academic environments are suffering from what I've tried to
	highlight in a simple, straightforward title to this
	message.

If we are suffering from something, it's from the self-impressed
viewpoint of those who think they have solved the world's problems, or
at least think they are well on the way to doing so.

	Unfortunately [networks] are a poor substitute for channeling peoples
	hostility, frustration and bitterness or whatever new dilemmas
	are pressing hard on modern yuppie man.

A great many of us do not qualify for the definitions of any of the
entries in your Subject:.  I am no bean counter, no "queer" in any
sense of the word that seems even remotely applicable, nor does
"yuppie" fit me very well (use of computers and networks does not
alone a yuppie make; otherwise, you must admit to being your own worst
enemy) -- again, you have attempted to discredit your entire
opposition by lumping it all into large, monolithic, and just awfully
convenient pigeonholes that really don't match the situation well.

	If anyone out there is engaged in research or actually
	trying to DO something, then I'm sure my title description
	needs little explanation.  For the others..... it's simply
	not worth my time to explain.....

Good heavens, man, you have an attitude such as I've not seen in a
very long time.

A very great number of us who use this network are indeed involved in
various types of research and other disciplines, and a very great
number really are "trying to DO something."  And I still don't agree
with anything you've said.  And then you conclude this idea with the
comment that _your_ time is far too valuable to be spent explaining
such elementary concepts...as though your entire opposition is (yet
again) to be lumped into the group who do not understand such stuff.

	'You are what you pretend to be...so be careful what
	you pretend to be....'

I strongly suggest that you read that back to yourself, slowly,
carefully, and repeatedly.  And as much as you said previous to this,
if you don't understand why, it's not worth my time to explain.

I'm not sure just what the big deal is about all of this.  If you and your
friends have USENET access, why don't you simply post the UNITEX articles to
misc.misc?  No moderator is required there and the USENET world can judge
for itself what's been going on.  If this information is vital and interesting,
the USENET community will want the formerly moderated group to be "unmoderated"
or have another moderator appointed.

In any case, it's hard to "censor" anyone on USENET!

    I agree - post the stuff to another newsgroup that is unmoderated.  

P.S. - Dr Waldron should let Dorthy Niklus do all his talking for him.  His
       posting was among the more arrogant, self-centered pieces of garbage
       I've ever read.  It literally dripped of sarcasm  - he obviously thinks
       he's hot shit and everyone else is some kind of dumb schmuck.  I promise
       I won't hold his performance against UNITEX, however.

I consider this to be the most insulting statement I have ever read in an 
electronic medium to date.  It's not so much what was said, it's the fact that 
it came from a man who claims to speak for an organization I respect and 
admire.  It ranks right up there with Al Campanis' infamous "blacks in 
baseball" quote.  If the UN knew the truth of what you were about, I'm quite 
sure they'd disown you.

And for that little pearl of wisdom, I'm quite sure the NSF would disown you, 
too.
  
I am reminded of a vignette they show every-so-often on Sesame Street.  It is
an episode of "Monsterpiece Theatre", hosted by Alistair Cookie, entitled
'Taming of the Shoe'.  It is based on a play by William Shoespeare.  The hero,
Grovero, must learn to 'cooperate' with his shoe before he can walk to the 
mall.

If any of you are still wondering why I recommended deleting
misc.headlines.unitex instead of just unmoderating it, maybe the
base article this is following up helps to clarify matters.

I believe it to be a breach of etiquette and applicable law to publish
electronic correspondance without permission, so you'll have to take
my word on it that Dr. Waldron has mailed a number of
equally....unusual...  messages to me, Chuq, Patt Harring, the
sysadmin at ccny, and others about this episode.  Some have been
considerably more strident and at times vulgar.  One to Patt was quite
threatening.  One to me was quite insulting (personally). And at least
one mail message about Patt could be grounds for a lawsuit if fixed on
paper.

I have suggested to Dr. Waldron that perhaps he doesn't understand how
best to communicate with others electronically.  He then posted the
article to which this is a follow-up.  Sigh.  It's hard to give
someone the benefit of the doubt when they persist in being so
obnoxious.  May I suggest that we not encourage him by debating this
further, here or elsewhere on the net?

Coincidence department: someone has pointed out to me that Dr. Waldron
is posting from a machine at Rutgers, the same great institution that
provided us with Prof. Bob Webber for a while.  I don't believe that
is a reflection on Rutgers itself -- it still doesn't outweight the
fact that Mel Pleasant and Chuck Hedrick also post from Rutgers, and a
good friend of mine is on the faculty there.  Still, it does make one
wonder what's in the water there....

Even over the recent flamage about the *.aquariword debacle,

It's a good thing I had a sensible article to reply to instead of the

As near as I can tell, he was trying to convince all of usenet that what Chuq
and Patt, etc, did concerning the unitex group was justified.  He certainly
convinced me.

Well, when I saw the posting, I thought that it was an attempt from someone who
was against the UNITEX group to discredit Mr. Waldron with a forged posting.
I'm still waiting for the followup posting disavowing the previous posting's
content ...

I read the article.  I read the replies.  I re-read the article.  I still
have *NO* idea what Mr. Waldron was trying to say.  Whoever he is, just based
upon that one article, he is an egotistical jerk.  Keep in mind that's
strictly a first impression, but it does give you an idea of how effective
his article was at winning people over to his side -- whatever side that is.

You may not, but I'm going to find it hard not to. I had simply assumed,
reading the base article, that this was some sort of forgery designed to
discredit UNITEX. Sadly, based on Spaf's followup, I must conclude that
this isn't the case. So, can anyone who's been paying attention up till
now tell me (I read the first few articles, concluded that Patt was probably
in the right, and ignored the rest) -- does this Dr. Waldron actually
occupy an important position at UNITEX? More importantly, do the
organization's views tend to match his? I mean, any group that blames
"Yuppies, Queers and Beancounters" for the problems of the world isn't
one I can take seriously -- indeed, given the implicit slurs, I'd say that
it may deserve to be stepped with a lot more force than just having its
Usenet playpen taken away...

He convinced me via email; he seems to think that anyone who disagrees
that UNITEX should be on the net, or that soliciting funds via the net
is not perfectly OK, is a yuppie, misinformed, and "fool and probably
even worse".

If I was sitting on the fence before, this sort of behavior would push
me over the edge. Waldron should realize that he's doing UNITEX more
harm than good and separate himself from the project.

The aforementioned article from Dr. Waldron WAS really posted by Dr.
Waldron, on the machine newport.rutgers.edu, or at least was forged at
Rutgers.  The Path: lines and the Message-ID format both look kosher
for the Rutgers news system.

I'm afraid that the original article in this particular flame-thread -
the one from Dr. Waldron - never made it here. (Maybe my system dropped
it to keep from running my blood pressure up. :-) Could someone please
email me a copy? I'd like to compare it to the email flame I got from
Dr. Waldron in response to my comments about the anti-Corpus Christi
screed.

Look at the .signature, and the headers, and tell me where this article
started life?
