Being very disillusioned with academe myself, I actually typed up a cleverly vicious response to the not-so-good Dr. since I'm a Cancer and that means I get a little overprotective and I knew that the Good Dr. B wouldn't respond with anything but civility (No, Dr. B, it never occurs to us overprotective Moonchildren that others can take care of themselves just fine, thank you ... and what are you doing reading this anyway? Didn't you read the subject line? ;^). And, in all my cleverness, it occurred to me to imply that this person was an imposter because no professional would be so petty in a forum that included anyone other than fellow academics from the same discipline.
Then it occurred to me that this person could really be an imposter.
That's when the conspiracy theories really started popping up left and right, and I decided to cut my losses and run before I started seeing evidence of some Broad Right-Wing/Left-Wing/Ross-Perot-Wing/Cigarette-Smoking-Man-Wing/Libertarian-Wing conspiracy everywhere....
(A note to all y'all out there: sleep deprivation and a new cable modem -- okay, the latter was the cause of the former -- do not mix.)
and now, back to our regularly scheduled program...
