Well at least it wasnāt the stupid āIām sorry if I offended anyoneā non-apology.

Too bad. This had the makings of a great āNailed 'Emā segment on Colbert.
Maybe the professor just decided to stop training the laser-like focus of his hunger for recompense on the restaurant owner, and turn it on TPM. The loss of content and clickbait potential may well prove incalculable.
First of all itās āBenā Edelman not Sam Edelmanā¦ Iām sure that will be corrected.
Second of all, I guess this guy has a wife or mother who slapped him upside his head!

āHaving reflected on my interaction with Ran, including what I said and how I said it, itās clear that I was very much out of line. I aspire to act with great respect and humility in dealing with others, no matter what the situation. Clearly I failed to do so. I am sorry, and I intend to do better in the future,ā he said. āI have reached out to Ran and will apologize to him personally as well.ā
Shut up, you pompous windbag.

This AH deserves maximum embarrassment, so TPM letās get his name right. Itās Ben Edelman, not Sam Edelman.
Who gives a shit what a Harvard prof does? What if some community college prof threatens to sue a restaurant, are you going to front that on TPM also? Thats what I think of your Harvard profsā¦
Edelman appears to be quite a shady gadfly pain-in-the-azzā and a great one to make mountains out of molehills. Heās also adept as a paid on-line corporate shyster. His work against spyware is laudable (and the fact he irritates Google so much makes it hard for me to dislike him completely), but the way he selectively has gone about it is suspect indeed. Harvard must be soooā proud.:
Worse than that. He had a university who slapped him upside the head.

Really? He didnāt āknowā what a pissy little dweeb he was BEFORE he āreflectedā? For cripes sakeā¦

A zebra could apologize until hell froze over and doing so wouldnāt eliminate its stripes.

Email-itis?
Iād lump the Professor with those dipsticks in Texas parading themselves into Chipotle with rifles dangling off their shoulders. A manās best friend is often the person with standing and courage to grab him by the shoulders and say āDude! WTF is wrong with you!ā When the internet as to take on that role, itās a really poor substitute for actual friends and real social interactions.
Sometimes those mammoth Harvard egos just will not be contained.
Normal people would just talk to the manager or not go back. This is the slinging of make believe power by a real life weakling.
This guy, Ben Edelmanās smarts are limited.
