Title: Physics Professor's Resignation Letter - AGW
Post by: Ben on October 12, 2010, 09:51:09 PM
Resigning from the American Physical Society. He's an Emeritus Professor at my Alma Mater. I was actually quite surprised, given the strong political leanings of the university (you can guess which direction). This is no crackpot. He has always been an extremely well respected professor, and you can see highlights of his achievements at the bottom of the article.

Read some of the comments.  There has been considerable kool-aide consumption.

She's telling them she knows some pipe-fitting &*%%@#$ in Chicago with blow torches and vise grips that'll go medieval on 'em if they fail her man in the middle of a speech.

For reasons that will soon become clear my former pride at being an APS Fellow all these years has been turned into shame, and I am forced, with no pleasure at all, to offer you my resignation from the Society.

If only Fistful was so wise...
