I’m not sure if my skin is getting thinner, but cowardly, obnoxious, anonymous commenters are starting to get to me. Yes, Dan F is just talking about his and his friends’ careers here… but what’s wrong with thinking about one’s career and writing a brief post about it on a blog by and, to a large extent for, other profs? I’d love a real answer from these commenters…

I find this piece helpful — something I’ve been wondering about. I’m a fox (scholarly-interests wise), and indulging these various interests is one reason I’m a law prof. If I had to be a hedgehog about an issue I wasn’t into (enough), I’d go back to law practice, where I’d be paid more to write. (And I’d lead CLEs to satisfy the everpresent urge to teach.)

Neither a fox nor a hedgehog can best describe this blogger. Nothing short of a narcissist – a grandiose view of one’s own talents and a craving for admiration – will suffice. This entry reeks of a craving to be a capital I in his non-accredited little pod.

Doesn’t really matter, because few, if any, people will actually read your articles.
