wheelah, thanks for sharing your views. Trust most of us might have been shocked to learn that this fellow is a gentle, considerate, kind, humble man of great brilliance. Clearly, he's arrogant and angry that the world fails to recognize his genius. Sadly, as you describe him, despite his intellect which is apparent whether one "likes" him, disagrees with him, or whatever, it sounds like he's allowed his self-indulgence to get in the way of his assignment ...to facilitate, encourage, and enable Midshipmen learning.
His pontificating clearly disables his pedagogy, it seems. Too bad.
In the end, one must conclude of the professor that he's found a hill on which he loves standing and proclaiming in a rather distasteful way, what he perceives of his employer and his charges, ultimately. Sad, too bad.
Probly shoulda been a journalist but definitely not a model for and molder of young minds. He'd fit perfectly in that community today.
But...no matter what we may think of the messenger, his message remains sadly truthful, it seems. Let's not shoot the dude simply because we chaffe @ his message. He's not the issue here.
