And I'm still profoundly disappointed in Octo's reaction to my disagreeing with him as concerns that whole episode. He's still the only blogger to ever moderate one of my comments off a liberal (or even "left-leaning") blog... ...a blog where I was once listed as an author, no less. He had every right--it's his blog, after all--but generally, libs embrace dissent and disagreement, and would rather debate (or agree to disagree) rather than flushing commentary with which they disagree down the memory hole. Moderation for content (outside of honest to God trollery or spammage) is more of a conservative thing... SOAPBOX off.)<br /><br />The other bit that got me was the commenter who failed to see the irony of bitching to Donald about those other professors <i>"belong[ing] to a niche labor market that rewards orthodoxy and requires "elitist" degrees to be a part of,"</i> the same elitist niche labor market to which Professor Donald Douglas, good union man, belongs.<br /><br />They make me wonder whether they're even serious, sometimes... or whether it's all just some elaborate satire of actual conservatives. (After all, an alarming number of 'em think Colbert is one of them, too. Douglas might just turn out to be a less funny version for blog readers.)repsac3https://www.blogger.com/profile/15458282944035344707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27299492.post-70207064378735857862010-04-22T10:22:22.521-04:002010-04-22T10:22:22.521-04:00Don must be very popular with his peers at Long Be...Don must be very popular with his peers at Long Beach.
