The guy who emailed me to continue his racist rant after I blocked him last week just emailed me again to inform me that my failure to engage with him is proof that I’m a terrible teacher, and that whatever it is I teach, no one who cares about truth should take my classes.

Passing this along in the interests of full disclosure.

@mattblaze Should you care to reply, you can say that you are not engaging because you want more of his whining to use as bad examples in your classes and publications.

@mattblaze The toot that showed up just after yours was too good & appropriate not to share.

@mattblaze well, if you can't find the time to debate with everyone on the internet at once, you'll never cope with the stresses of working in modern academia!

In general, real racists have at best a long-distance relationship with truth, so your correspondent's opinion is less than convincing.

@dan131riley @mattblaze You can use it as an advertisement. Frame it, it belongs on the wall of credentials...
