No, I don't think so. Any blowback he's gotten is not from "fame" but rather his difficult personality.
- cbozeman 6y agoIt's a good thing he absolutely insists on being sesquipedalian, because it limits his audience. He seems to fancy himself as Tech Faulkner; I'd rather be Tech Hemingway.
- Judgmentality 6y agoI know my comment isn't relevant but my favorite literary rivalry in history is definitely Hemingway and Faulkner.
- runamok 6y agoIronic you used that word as I can imagine it limited yours on this comment too. :-)
- cbozeman 6y agoOh God, I know, but it really is the perfect fucking word for Eric, whom I do admire, but find to be occasionally frustrating... If Eric's brother Bret is as naïve about politics as Eric believes, then Eric is as naïve about word choice. Probably more so.
- cmbailey 6y agoI'm so grateful there are people with the courage to stand up and say unpopular things. Weinstein is a human whose outspokenness I've been particularly grateful for.
