thread_title: Potentially libelous information

message: You will notice a certain amount of skirmishing taking place in the brief Wikipedia article about me. The earliest versions of the article appear to have been installed and modified by some of the operators of the "St. Regis University" diploma mill. From time to time additional changes, some inaccurate, some insulting, and some libelous, are inserted into the article. Some of the customers of diploma mills must feel great frustration at the perceived limits of their professional trajectories, and had hoped to use their purchased "degrees" to dissolve these limits. This can also give rise to considerable hostility towards those who work in higher education and who help to uphold the standards of our marvelous system of higher education. So it seems likely that this silly vandalism will continue for some time!
