    I know the name but don't recall meeting her until JPP. I looked for the Rebekah reference but couldn't find her either.

    My days were near the end of it all! I'm sure they changed it within 3 years after I was done with school.

    Changed to Critical Theory instead of Socratic Method. It was Socratic Method for 200+ years.
    So when did you decide to abandon the Socratic Method?
    Do you think abandoning it was a good idea?

    Matt Dillion has no idea what the Socratic Method is. Nor does he know what Critical Theory is. He is a very stupid troll.

    It clearly wasn't a short paragraph. It could have been four paragraphs each consisting of one or two sentences or it could have been a golden shovel poem or simply free verse.

    Do you think paragraphs are typographically given spaces between lines of text? Was the Socratic method used to come to that conclusion?

    Ditto. She's an asset here.

    I believe that she is. We got along famously. She had to put up with a lot, but I will not reveal why.

    There's a lot to be said about numbers people when looking at the larger picture or longer term goals.

    Too many people can't organize a weekly meal plan much less answer the question "Where do We, the People want to be in 10 years?"

    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    No doubt that's why SheWhoMustNotBeNamed hasn't uttered a peep about her. We wouldn't want Mina to start talking about how that gang of stalkers treated her for literally *years.* lol

    Yep. Plus she is very good at research, and when she posts data and/or numbers, she uses credible sources rather than partisan ones. She's also got the ability to look at a data set in different ways, in order to counter any arguments that the data is "biased."

    Man up and file a report with the request or keep whining like a beached jellyfish.

    I already requested it last week. Maybe it takes 5 votes or something. IDK.
