After a protracted e-mail exchange with Dolphin that went from heated to more genial, I felt moved to contact the chair of his Journalism Department. Not to "tattle" on his use of language, but to discuss the "teachable moment" that seemed to be at hand.

Dolphin's publication policy is that writers not engage in the comment field of their story, thus his e-mail to me. He also feels like there is "clearly no middle ground" between his view of Wikipedia and mine, and so he no longer wished to discuss the subject.

I note that the original article on The Concordian seems to have either been taken down, or the link is non-working at the moment. Anyone else still seeing the article? This site confirms that the page is down.

It appears to be a server problem not limited to that one article, so assume it is temporary. In the meantime, enjoy this.
