Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Ken, This is a worthwhile example of what I am referring to. The latter half of your response was a good read and your points valid, as most of your insights are. What I, and I'm sure others find frustrating is your condescension. Why the need to talk down with regards to UC Berkeley's standards, and my critque of you being somehow reflective of the University as a whole? And based on this continued need to talk down to others I can tell from personal experience that the Berkeley specialty of producing self-important intellectuals is one standard that apparently has not changed. As I said, you provide great insights to this group from your years of experience and they are much appreciated. If you could simply answer people's questions I am sure everyone here would be much appreciative. I have no intention of having a war of words and this will be my last post on this issue. Again thanks for you insights on the old-school, esoteric of the training spectrum as well as bringing up new outside the box approaches, JC Santana's Metabolic Protocols being one that comes to mind.
