As a matter of fact, I had no idea that the name that I chose would match up with an actual person. It was ‘randomly’ chosen to go more with the handle, since I had to put something down for email accounts, etc. It was part of two names from my childhood.

As to the charge of mis-representing myself as an associate professor by your name, at no time was that done, and if you would care to peruse the site, you can verify that.

Had I picked John Smith, would any such claim be made?

I can’t say that I haven’t made a judgement call about the legality of something in the blog without reviewing it, nothing comes to mind–but I’ve slept since then.

Hopefully, offense was not given.
