It’s not often I see an article in a major
web publication with my name at the
top of it
. (It’s even rarer that I see this in a non-web publication
because I read so few of those.) Admittedly it didn’t have my name there as
such, but it sure looks like my name. In any case, the person Slate is
using my name as a nickname for doesn’t sound like the most pleasant
character ever. He did win a Rhodes scholarship, but from what I hear from
people around Oxford there’s little guarantee that that counts for much
character-wise.
