I think we have our new Jackass Award Winner for next year. Very disrespectful "story" indeed.

Greetings List;
Well, imagine our surprise when we read the thread below. I had a personal conversation with the Dean of the TCU geology department in which he informed me that among other things, Dr. Ehlmann was "barely a geologist and not a very good one at that". He also called him, "an old man just waiting to retire," just a menial curator of a meteorite collection doing no real research". He said more but I don't necessarily agree with everything he Dean said. But it matters not much since in my view this award has very little meaning attached to it because of the group handing it out. Was there some sort of election or nomination procedure involved or posted somewhere? How does this little favoritism scheme and showering of affection work for a group who even his colleague has bad mouthed him this way. Did you include the Dean's viewpoint ? Or did you gather together willy nilly to keep misconduct and racism a fertile nesting ground in planetary science?
We're going to make a special "Jackass of the Year" certificate for the person who stole the award, and we'll leave it out on the table next year, so be sure to steal that too. Thanks.
