When I look up "axe to grind" I see this definition:
have a private reason for doing or being involved in something.
I have never met Professor Boaler, nor do I have any private/hidden agendas. Do you simply mean "someone who disagrees with" when you say "axe to grind"? If so, it's somewhat of a meaningless epithet. If you mean the normal definition, I'd be curious what evidence you have for that (related to Professor Conrad, or me).
- cratermoon 3y agoWell, let's just agree to disagree, then.
- gnicholas 3y agoIf you won’t say what you mean, there’s no other choice!
- cratermoon 3y agoOh yes, there is another choice. Rather than assume that what I mean is the dictionary definition and asserting your opinions, why not ask some good questions?
