"University of Michigan legal blogger Ann Althouse called Brian Leiter a 'jackass,' to take a famous example. (She also called him a 'nerd.')"

The Boston Globe makes the University of Michigan take the heat for my — famous! — transgression. Here's the 2004 post where I called him a "nerd" after he insulted me. I expanded on my point in the comments, where I called him a "jackass." I have since that time had a sandwich and a nice conversation with Professor Leiter.
