Thank you. Just hope this site doesn't morph into another facebook and/or Linkedin (where I used to contribute). Worried about self licking ice cream cone scenarios!!

Thanks "Think"! Kindred spirits here as "sapere aude" is my only motto. As to the handle, actually I have always lived life as such hence being persona non grata in academia, esp here in the US!

Thanks Spike Talon!

Phoenix, kindly note the quotations around misfits. Perception alas is reality for most and as such those of us who refuse to bend and/or act like dazed sheeple are condemned as "misfits" or much worse.

@Damnthetorpedoes Actually I did notice the quotation marks.

Not only did I notice them but I immediately knew what you had travelled through before arriving here. I was making a joke about how I learned to deflect that sort of treatment while keeping my sanity.
