With All Due* Respect...
...how the hell do idiots get to be big names in the field? I don't mean jerks; I mean idiots
Okay: I do sort of mean jerks, but the kind of jerks that insult the readers, not the ones who make snide remarks about other lines of reasoning.
See, I'm not very good with names. But I was reading an article today and the author pulled this nasty trick -- again, on me-the-reader, not on me-the-person-who-may-have-something-different-to-say -- and I realized that I knew exactly who this author is because s/he pulls this trick all. the. time.
Big name. One of the top 5.
*Well, there may be a little respect lacking...
