FYI, without taking any stance on the issue under debate here, I find the
language used by Shuah on behalf of the Code of Conduct committee
extremely patronising and passive aggressive.  This might be because I
do not have an American academic class background, but I would suggest
that the code of conduct committee should educate itself about
communicating without projecting this implicit cultural and class bias
so blatantly.
