I think I’m taking out my hostility with the status quo on whoever’s available, but I’m glad it’s amusing some of y’all.

You either have way too much free time on your hands, Tom, or your itching to start a fight with someone online. Either way, I love it!

Joe-

Appreciate you setting the facts straight.

It’s hard to believe the Chronicle didn’t address you properly AND didn’t mention you had a beard. Their reporting may be getting shoddy.

I attempted to weigh in on the Chronicle in the comments but was unable to answer the captcha properly as I have neither a beard nor a PhD.

Stop by any time,

Fun parody, thanks! And it really is almost too easy.

All of us who were there experienced the event and its focus quite differently than the Chronicle did–but they told the story they were interested in telling.

And for the record, I do have a beard, and a Ph.D., and before starting in my current role, I was a tenured full professor of English. But I try not to let those facts taint my perspective too much.

If the Chronicle wants to call me “Mr.,” or even “Joe,” I’m a friendly sort of fellow so it’s OK with me.

You can call me Joe, too!
