Nina (and others),
Janis' point was not about superlatives alone: it was also about lies
and deliberately misleading statements. Do you also accept those as a
matter of course? If you do, what good is your word?

Actually, the question was how manipulative certain people are, and how
much certain other people are willing to tolerate it (and even get
behind it) on Tango-A.

And the sentences above endorse a trickle-down policy of... well,
bullshit. Perhaps it's my silly "internal drive" talking here, but I
simply don't see how one person's innocence can possibly justify
another's abuse.
I agree with the notion that every teacher has at least a little to
offer, perhaps even a gem. The problem is that bad teachers also offer
heaps of gaudy junk. That a fake Rolex tells time does not make it any
the less fake.
