"And it values marriage and all that kind of stuff" - David Boddy

Given all I've heard about infidelity and affairs within the school, that's an interesting claim.

Popularity is not a measure of worth. Well, that's profound. One school (which is pretty damn odd on many levels already) out of .. what.. about seventeen thousand schools?? Mmmm. Ok, moving on, Also, who said there is a correlation between the training of top Oxbridge mathematicians and the averag...

You missed the point. The "accusation" to which I refer is the suggestion (OK, perhaps "accusation" was too strong a word: in any case, I was not talking about any accusation against myself) that there might be people from the SES hierarchy posting on these message boards. This point of view is bas...

My opinion is based on the principle of innocent until proven guilty. If you make an accusation, the onus is on you to prove it, not for me to attempt to disprove it. Again, this seems quite obvious to me, but clearly it isn't how others think. Sarcasm has good entertainment value, but it is counte...

how you know that noone from the hierarchy might be anonymously posting on here, trying to play a damage-limitation / mitigation / obfuscation role???? If they are it would behoove them better, methinks, to post in plain english. Oh dear *slaps hand to forehead* I might have given them a tip! Quiet...

And given that this board or organisation(s) arising from it could generate very strong negative publicity, it is hardly beyond the bounds of the imagination to think that there are current members of the hierarchy posting on here? Yet again, there is no foundation whatsoever for such an accusation...

sorry, er... "anti"_ses... but are you seriously saying that to be able to engage in reasonable discussion one must first learn some logic theory that the average adult isn't party to?? your statement about SES victims demonstrates to me you either don't really know what that feels like or are unabl...

ADG, Do you seriously expect me to be sarcastic when dealing with an intellect like yours? Grimep, Does chucking in a comment about 'SES psychobabble' indicate some sort of seige mentality about the SES? It seems your annoyance over my comments is causing you to lump me with SES badness. Does it of...

Am I reading too much into this strange seating arrangement? I think you probably are, yes. Although concerns about "natural order" and hierarchy are often uppermost in your average SESian's brain. Actually, if you really want to know more, why don't you join?? What we need are a few long-term slee...

be thankful you're just reading it... have you ever been in a conversation with an SESian? They even have a common mode of speech in terms of tone and inflection, it's extremely creepy, and symptomatic of nullified personality. Long pauses between conversation sides (you can hear the cogs turning wh...

I was just thinking that reading some of the arguments on this board is a bit like being party to some strange attempt at reasoning one might overhear at Waterperry House for example.
