              the greatest philosophers of all time stand before him and

              objection in every case - he had found the perfect philosophical 
              move to make in conferences and colloquia.  He forced himself to

            Victorian (Dictionary. com)



- of or pertaining to Queen Victoria or the period of her reign. 

(Alexandrina Victoria; 24 May 1819 - 22 January 1901.)



- having the characteristics usually attributed to the Victorians, 

especially prudishness and observance of the conventionalities. 



Well, TS Rules and Regulations are certainly from that period. As to 

the second paragraph: estimate yourself.
