"Hi Ann: I'm familiar with your blog and take it that, unlike a lot of UW-Madison profs, you tend to swing to the right politically...."

Emails a columnist, prefacing a question to me.

I respond: "That's not a correct characterization, and I won't comment on anything if that's the premise of the question."

He responds:
You could always correct my incorrect characterization, but I guess being snippy is easier.

Thanks anyway.

But I'm a scientist and we're mostly blunt and socially inept.

Please use the comments forum to respond to the post. Don't fight with each other. Be substantive... or interesting... or funny. Comments should go up immediately... unless you're commenting on a post older than 2 days. Then you have to wait for us to moderate you through. It's also possible to get shunted into spam by the machine. We try to keep an eye on that and release the miscaught good stuff. We do delete some comments, but not for viewpoint... for bad faith.
