Dear TAs: It has recently come to my attention that insipidly repetitive invective has been overheard in the hallways on the third floor. While I am a devoted fan of
colorfully inventive and unusual forms of invective myself, the Department has a policy against the use of insipidly repetitive forms in public spaces: hallways, stairs, and other public places. The reason for this policy is simple: it is unprofessional (not to mention obnoxious) to inflict it on innocent parties passing in the hall. It can also contribute to creating a hostile atmosphere. Most importantly, it's simply in bad taste. Please confine your use of insipidly repetitive invective, if you must use it, to a small circle of intimates within private spaces. Your colleagues will thank you for it.
