Think again, I call'em as I see'um and what I see here is a tendency toward forceable suppression of those that ain't thinking "right". Or was your seventh grade English teacher a "fascist" because she didn't automatically give everyone an A?
No the proper analogy would be if my seventh grade English teacher was figuratively stoned by her colleagues for having the temerity to accept a paper from me at odds with the NEA. Of course the NEA wasn't a force when I was 10 so thats neither here nor there.
What if it's just a crappy paper, and the guy's in trouble because his job was to keep crappy papers out?
