I'm worried for Baez's safety. Should we warn him he may have a potential deranged "fan" (read: stalker)? :ohdear:

Based on what we know of him I'm guessing the reason for all the itching is that no journal will publish anything he writes.

That might explain his supposed disdain for publication, though whether that's cover for past failures or anticipation of the same to come remains unclear.

Academic publication is a terrible, political, arbitrary place in which professional success or failure can be up to a roll of the dice. It's not necessarily a sign of poor quality that someone fails to get published or get tenure. There are a lot of very very smart adjunct faculty out there, and not being able to publish really shouldn't be a mark of shame.

On the other hand, the attacks on the publishing system, the bizarre decision to air/defend his ideas on Something Awful, and the ideas themselves, suggest that in this case there are other possible explanations for why these publications are still "itching".

If I understand the eripsa stuff well enough, (note: i don't) eripsa's inherent fame and renown means that as soon as he begins noticing and paying attention to the situation down there, hundreds of slightly less famous people will come and give him a wipe, thereby enhancing their own influence. It's like that scene in The Holy Mountain where poo poo literally turns to gold.

Academic publishing might be arbitrary but there are so many goddamn academic journals these days you can find somewhere that will publish your stuff. I've been published in a tiny magazine and a graduate/post-doc journal which don't exactly hold extremely high standards. Everyone's trying to get essay compilation books published left and right so if you can find someone with a similar interest you'll probably be invited to a workshop, present, and get a chapter published.

So I disagree, it isn't impossible to get published as long as you're willing to bend to the peer editor's will and make changes. Now getting an academic job is terrible, political, and arbitrary.

This is how I tend to deal with leftovers: try it up in a pan with an egg and it becomes revitalized and yummy again.

Now I'm extremely cheap and have no problem with leftovers but my wife won't touch something older than 2 days for w/e reason

Good luck! It's a rough process, especially when you run into a peer reviewer you really disagree with but the editor board likes, but it is satisfying to see your name and article in print.
