I blogged a lot about Illinois's disgraceful treatment of Steven Salaita this month, including here, here, and here, and even appeared on TV to discuss it. The decision by the Administration at East Carolina University to block a visiting appointment for Colin McGinn generated a lively debate about punishment, justice and proportionality (see also). Feminist philosophy was better liked by readers than X-Phil and almost as disliked as metaphysics! Sally Haslanger sent me some annoyed e-mails about this poll. Later, I disagreed with her about what would make JAPA a success. Little did I know, Haslanger would soon exact her vengeance.
