    Dear touchy,

    I would like to address your posture of knowing what the Rietveld is as an academy; I feel a great unfairness in your generalizations and it appears you are so greatly misinformed that I can only read your comments as a projection of your own dejected state of affairs. You attempt to name-call Rietveld students as philosophers—to which I pose, what is so bad about a philosophical approach? Is it that ideas frighten you? Is the notion of the critical so outside your obtusely misaligned conception of design that you may only brush it off as 'arrogant', 'judgemental' or 'uselessly intellectual'? //Or am I using too many big words for you, ya big ol' dummy?

    Now honestly: what do you really know about the Graphic department at the Rietveld as it stands today? I can tell you at least that it sounds as though you know absolutely nothing. And not to be 'harsh but true', but I can imagine anybody you have come across from the Rietveld to be representing the most base form of graduate, otherwise I just don't see why they would spend the time talking to somebody like you. Am I getting too 'personal'?

    Now if you were only able to take a step back and retrieve your head from your arse, you would maybe be able to see that you, janne, were the one who began with the judgement, name-calling, and pretensions.

    Sincerely,
