So, I am chairing a search committee for a position in my dept. I received a letter of inquiry from this Guy living in Iran. He tells me in the letter that he would only consider the position if it was beyond a full prof level. Bear in mind this position is for an assistant level prof. I very politely told him in the reply that he was simply over qualified.
Well, the reply I got prompted me to tell my Dept Chair that I deserved hazard pay. This cat threatened me and told me I was an embarrassment to humanity. I didn’t reply though I so dearly wanted to wish a camel lice infestation in his personal places.
I did some checking on the Internet and found he did his PhD in Canada and a post Doc at the Univ of Illinois.
My take away... Keep those lousy dirty ba$tards out of our country. Their moral compass is wicked by normal accepted Western standards.

Interesting story.
