What in the world is the matter with you overly sensitive 
people? Must you have language that makes you feel warm and 
fuzzy to have you pay attention to the content?

Professorial types often are wrapped up in their field, and have 
little time for the social amenities. They aren't rude or impolite, 
in the slightest. They're merely on point and have a lot to 
impart. 

Listen to the content and work with the content, not how warmly 
it's presented. Yes, it is a lecture since he is the most learned in 
the subject on which he's lecturing. It's school again. Get used 
to it!
