That first paragraph, where the author seems to, even in jest, place blame on his college professor, all the wording and weird emphasis on that, it’s just really really strange. I certainly would not want to be his college professor.
- coldtea 6y agoNot even sure what you're getting at. It's a common type of tongue-in-cheek comment, one can find in tons of writings. "Blame X who inspired me to study Y, and led me down this path". There's no actual blame, it's just praise for his professor (and that's immediately understood as such). There's nothing "really really strange" about it, and there's no "weird emphasis" (it's a mere passing line in a big post). If anything, your pointing it out is weird.
- hellofunk 6y agoEh, I read it differently. It’s not just one line, it’s three sentences followed by a reference to the political climate. I think it’s a bit much and it threw me off while I was reading it. I’ve seen those kinds of jesting comments in other blogs, but this one is more awkwardly phrased. When they write “Sorry Dr.Hume” I do actually feel sorry for his professor!
