GARSH! *duck* *scrape* Aw, shucks…
So I was over on American Papist’s blog yesterday and chimed in my two cents about something. (The link to the post is here.) One of the other readers expressed some doubts about my opinion, so I expanded. He wrote back:
“Kasia: Reasonable points, clearly made. Thx.”
Which may not sound like a particularly high compliment on its face, but (a) the reader in question is a canon lawyer and professor of some stature, and (b)having seen him around the blogs a bit, he doesn’t seem to compliment people lightly. It puts me in mind of how my former boss, a very talented development officer, used to gush praise on people for the littlest thing. It came off as very insincere. On the other hand, her boss, the dean of the college, is a stereotypical New Englander and physicist from whom “You do good work” is high praise. When he compliments people, it makes an impression. (For the record, he’s also a gem of a man, and one of the finest human beings I’ve had the honor of working for.)
I’m just tickled pink that someone so S-M-R-T thinks I “clearly made” “reasonable points”. As I said in the header, “GARSH!”
