Dr. David Codrea:
On a personal note, I find it interesting that over six years after I posted the Wintemute warning, he’s still bringing it up as evidence of the troubles he’s seen. Knowing that has resulted in my living in this guy’s head rent-free for all these years is pretty unbelievable.
Between that and getting several emails from Nature‘s Correspondence Editor beginning “Dear Dr. Codrea,” the sting of having my letter go unpublished has been somewhat dulled.
Well, this one is amusing. I’ve been misquoted before, plagiarized word for word without attribution, and misunderstood. But this is rich. I love a good throw-down over the interwebz, but this one is rather one-sided.
Here’s what I think. Had I been blogging about guns at the time of David’s post I would have issued the same warning. I didn’t previously know anything about Wintemute. He (Wintemute) apparently wants to be important, or at least sees himself in heroic terms, suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous oppression from David’s warnings.
But I know about Wintemute now. As for Wintemute, I hope the fleas of a thousand camels infests his armpits. As for David, keep making people megalomaniacal and delusional. Watch your six, Wintemute. We’re coming to take you away.
