I have just received a very "disturbing" email from a very "prominent" conservative blogger...

...who informs me that my "true" identity is Batman John Casper.  I kid you not: I'm now accused of being the very same John Casper who, a few years ago, tried to destroy my academic career.  I'm not currently privy to the "evidence" against "me," but I look forward to confronting it with great gusto, if only to have the opportunity to reprint this letter from an African-American scholar, because I enjoy white-hot displays of scorn as much as the next historian.

I've got a tremendously busy week ahead of me, so please feel free to update me about future "developments" in comments, via email, or through Facebook. Because this should be entertaining.  

UPDATE: As far as anyone can tell, something like this or this happened. What either or those things may be, your guess is as good as mine.

Having the word "conservative" in any posting on SEK's Blogg is a laugh. "Promnent liberal blogger is much more correct. Since SEK is very sure about who he is and where he came from, I know who he is and can say he came from me and has a grown and changed as his education has increased. So, no matter who others think he is, I know he is still my baby and continues to give me joy. He loves teaching and I believe he has respect from his students and other teachers who can see the joy he has for his teaching.

Donalde really doubles down on the stupid today. Now, I know Donalde has nothing to do with the subject of this post, and am not in any way implying that he does.

Well, Mal, since Saturday will be the Rapture, perhaps the Eschaton will be immanetized.

Donalde, that was NOT a hint! OK, please do NOT take that as a hint as to who Carl might be or who TinTin might be.

Got that? DO NOT DRAG DUNCAN BLACK INTO THIS. Undertand?
