I'd appreciate an explanation of this from you, Mike:
What does a dispute here on Cbid (which, truth told, encompasses about two or three dozen people out of 260+ million) have to do with the Chair of my department?
I don't 'represent' the university here. I am John (or, even more accurately, 'jdrabinski). Not my university. Not my department. In fact, I haven't ever posted my university's name (to my knowledge).
The matter of bigotry is passed. I just let it go. But the fact is, Mike, you've tried to sabatoge my career. How can you justify that? Lucky for me, my colleagues (if they ever track down the email and reference) will just tease me about it and laugh it up. A joke, a chance for them to give me some crap at a bar. But you could have messed with somebody's livelihood, Mike, and that is really serious. People have bills, homes, children, family to support, and so on. This is WAY over the line and you should admit it.
John
