No idea, I honestly had to google him.

But given the pedigree I wasn't sure if you were one of those guys who hate Gawker but come onto the comment boards to smug about how they're 'not real journalists' or something.

I'm recalling you've had some solid comments (and more importantly liked mine) which means you're a scholar and a gentle-person. But in the moment, I just read it as 'I don't like what this guy writes about so he's not a writer.' I actually started to call you out but then reeled it back at the last moment.
