If you can manage it, don't check the Grad Cafe, don't check results, just wait until you hear from them. Take your mind off them. This is too stressful! 

I think the point is to provide a safe space to talk. We saw what happened with the other female philosophers thread, and how a few misogynistic males pretty much took over the thread. I'm not female, so this is just my two cents on the issue. But I think sometimes having a discussion only among those of a minority group that has frequently been disparaged in a way that doesn't attract attention and allows themselves to express themselves without having to worry about reprisal.

Oh absofuckinglutely. Mcafee knob, arguably the most photographed spot on the Appalachian Trail is near there. (See photo below) - Also so many great mountains wilderness areas nearby. Shenandoah national park just an hour north. Great Smoky Mountains National Park a few hours south. Seneca Rocks for those rockclimbers is an hour or two west. If you like outdoor stuff, blacksburg will most definitely interest you.

This.
 
tl;dr Context sensitivity is great, and different situations have different expectations/involve different sorts of social interaction.
 
That said, I'm not going to post on this particular topic in this thread any further; while there is nothing inherently wrong with the topic, *this is not the place for it.* If anyone wants to continue discussing these issues, I suggest they start another thread for that purpose.

Vineyard, don't ever agree with me again. And now I need to go bash myself in the head with something.

Man I hope I get to add something to this one day!

This is right.
 
 
Someone who disagrees with the idea that we should throw someone under the bus without trial or evidence is not automatically a misogynist. There were absolutely 0 woman-hating posts in that thread. One could rather easily argue that you are treating women as feeble, delicate creatures that cannot discuss and argue like men can, rather than strong-willed, able, and equal.

Whatever man my dog is awesome.

Because I have a degree from an SBC seminary and don't.

I'm hoping for a move in around August 1st, unless they have some kind of training that begins before him. I don't really have money to juts sit on a lease in a new city without a job before that, Lol.

I can see it now, you presenting on "The Teleological Argument in Rev Run's Distortion", me presenting on some Nietzsche shit. It would be fantastic.

I can't wait till you get off GSU's waitlist! Also we'll be 'fairly' close (by US standards) so maybe one of us could visit for a conference or something!
