academia would be a much better place if every pompous ass my-shit-don't-stink scholar had a spouse to regularly bust them down a peg and make them stop taking themselves so seriously to the point of cringe

How's a spouse gonna help with that? Some people are just jackoffs no matter what their line of work is.

I'm sure most academic scholars are fully aware of the odorous nature of their excrement.

What I'm less sure of is how that is connected to both their private relationships and the general betterment of academia as a whole? Would you mind elaborating?

this sort of comment is exactly what i'm talking about. taking a blatantly metaphoric (cliched even) statement literally, and arguing against that, and then asking me to explain how private personal relationships might affect one's general overall attitude? really?

but seriously, if you're just trolling--keep practicing. if not, then thanks for illustrating my point.

every pompous ass my-shit-don’t-stink scholar

Are you talking about the kind that wins a Nobel and suddenly believes they're the expert on everything, or you casting a wider net?
