I mean there isn't any way I could let a student know they are dealing with an asshole, no matter how diplomatic I was the asshole would get mad.

The very fact that you say "is an asshole" as if it is an objective fact and not your own perception and interaction betrays your inability to properly handle situations of this kind. I agree with the previous comments; if you can't say it to their face, you shouldn't say it at all. And you need to learn how to handle what you perceive as assholes in a better way, or consider another career.

Secretive and unjust communication does not stop terrorism. Arguably, it enables terrorism. Good police work stops terrorism. Therefore your premise is flawed; harm has been lessened, not done.

I suggest you start by actually reading my comment.

The phrase was used on teabagger's placards at least as early as February 27, on Fox News on March 14 and picked up by MSNBC on April 13, so no, it was not coined by MSNBC. You're also conveniently ignoring the "teabag Obama" campaign which started well before the so called "left wing" talk shows picked it up. Not that there is anything even resembling actual left wing in mainstream US media.

It wasn't "classy libs" that chose to use the term "teabag" to describe the actions of sending teabags to Obama, hold "teabagging" parties and the like. The clueless choice of term was quite rightly mocked, and this carries no sembleance to the results of your "thinking". As soon as you can point to official "buttfuck" parties held by Liberals, where they "buttfuck" right wingers, your "thinking" will accidentally appear insightful.

Perhaps that is what you're hoping will happen? Quite a coup if it happens, I say.

Quick, name one technology MS has invented.

So wait ... you did this AFTER asking for help? You didn't START by checking YOU had done everything right, but went to IRC and DEMANDED HELP without making sure it wasn't a simple mistake on your part first? And for this you expected CONSIDERATION?

Go to your windows app instead. You won't be missed. And try that approach using your windows app and see how well support treats you then.

He pulled in work for his employer. If the thousands of out of work American software engineers did they wouldn't be out of work. Since they can't, his H1B was warranted, as was its extension, and the US government failed in this case. Provided the story is correctly retold, of course.
