I didn't think I needed to spell this out in my own journal, but for the record: I do not exclude people from our NIH-funded research protocol on the improper grounds that they fail to meet my standards for social gentility.

Sheesh.

Anonymous poster who seems to be deliberately misconstruing what you said. I'm not impressed.

Because, you know, the poor (particularly those who rely on government services) aren't forced to deal with exponentially more powertripping from people who have a disproportionate amount of control over their lives and circumstances than people who can afford to say fuck you and walk away. When would they have an opportunity to learn not to deliberately offend someone who has help they need?

I may be overreading this, but anonymous' comment struck me as a polite bowdlerism of a statement with the words "you can't expect those people" in it somewhere.

Um, yeah. Anonymous posts aren't so that you can get attacked, but so that non-LJ people can comment. That guy (gal?) was out of line.
