[Air-L] snide, cute, ignorant, surprising

[Radhika Gajjala]

more than "academia" or "discipline" being mocked - my concern is  
that an up and coming young scholar has unfairly been highlighted and  
immaturely positioned as a target of older academics before her work  
has had a chance to hit center stage properly.

This to me shows that the reporter was being very irresponsible in  
writing up the story and used mostly hearsay. I too like Dana and her  
blogging on social networking daily lives is very useful to me and my  
students as we try to understand these practices. I know her a bit  
(mostly through social networking sites actually:)) and I hardly  
think she would go around telling reporters she has had "death  
threats"...
