What about hiding Monument to Balzac after alleging that the sculpture was engaged in self-gratification? This act solidified my respect for him, which is why I now call him Master Bateman.

You got it in the wrong order,

He raised a lot of money, he RAISED a LOT of money, and He RAISED as if from the DEAD, a LOT of money.

He purged the INFIDELS, and eliminated free speech and academic freedom.

Is that a reference to me or Bateman? If it's a reference to Bateman, then I fundamentally disagree with your premise. I have never thought that Monument to Balzac was playing with himself, but I was obviously wrong.

Was it Bateman who wouldn't all Rodin's famous kissy-kissy sculpture on campus?

I'm guessing that's why Mike has it as his avatar.

Presidency of seventy rotates. Thing is now 70 is no longer automatic release for the first quorom some are serving well past 70.

I am pretty sure that Bateman was recently named the president of the Provo temple.
