Dear Jonathan (Garthwaite):
I am writing to submit my letter of resignation as a regular columnist for your conservative website. My decision comes in response to the following letter, submitted by a professor in my department to all the other professors in my department (myself excluded):
When Adams puts his place of employment and his job description at the bottom of his (Townhall.com) articles, he is drawing on his professional reputation and the reputation of this university (UNC-Wilmington) to convince readers of his argument. If I was [sic] his employer (Chancellor Rosemary DePaolo), I would interpret the below article (NOW and THEN) as sabotage, given the graphic nature of his language and obvious contempt for 4/5 [sic] (it is actually closer to 3/5) of our student population.
Regards, Lynne (Snowden).
Snowdens letter raises a number of points that have been crucial in my retirement decision. The main points are enumerated below:
1. This letter was forwarded to me shortly after I checked my mail in the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice. In the vicinity of the mailbox, there is a sign reading Dumb F**k Mountain. The poster which shows a picture of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney below the title - was placed there by another professor. Despite the fact that it is actually stapled to the wall of a university building, Snowden has voiced no objections. After all, its private speech. But my articles have a by-line (attached by the editor) mentioning my professional affiliation. Therefore, this constitutes sabotage. It is unclear whether sabotage is merely a tort or, if an actual crime, a felony or a misdemeanor.
2. The second sentence of this missive begins with the words If I was his employer Snowden is not my employer and she never will be my employer. In 2001, she filed a report with the UNCW police alleging that I helped spray tear gas in her office. After the accusations were found to be false, her dreams of becoming my boss were pretty well destroyed. The only real question is whether filing a false felony accusation against a colleague is sabotage. Ill leave that for the chancellor to decide. Given that a) the chancellor is a feminist and b) feminists never condemn fellow feminists, Snowden may well be falsely accusing her colleagues of terrorism for years to come. This is funny, given that she actually teaches a course in counter-terrorism.
3. The suggestion that I have contempt for 4/5 of the student population raises another interesting point. Since women constitute the majority on our campus, it is perplexing to see us continue to treat them like a minority with special services like a Womens Resource Center. After all, they not only outnumber the males but also outperform them in the classroom.
4. Recently, the university Christmas tree was dubbed offensive by the administration, which resulted in simply renaming it the tree. Now, my columns have been dubbed graphic. Well, what about the phrase Dumb F**k Mountain? Isnt that a graphic and offensive phrase? And what exactly is Dumb F**k Mountain? Is it the place where they recruit college administrators? Or is it where they train people to teach counterterrorism?
So, Jon, you can see why Ive decided to call it quits. These hypocritical university leftists are just too easy for me to handle. Since none present a remotely interesting challenge to me intellectually, I must simply move on to greater challenges. That is why effective March 1st of the year 2016, I am retiring as a columnist for your website.
Between now and my official retirement date in ten years, I will write no more than 1000 columns mocking university feminists, administrators, and assorted leftist screwballs. If anyone has a problem with that, there is no part of my backside I do not cordially invite them to kiss.
In the meantime, enjoy the latest addition to the Adams arsenal by clicking here. It was funded by the graphic hypocrisy of my would-be saboteurs and the generous contributions of my loyal readers.
Mike Adams is a criminology professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington and is a regular columnist for Townhall.com.
This man is one heck of a professor in my book. He calls them as he sees them, and lets the chips fall where they may. Looks as if he gets to work with a few dipsh**s though, but something tells me he can handle it. Great article, by the way. I loved it.

Pucker up! Go Mike, Go.
Great post. Thanks.
I sure hope he has tenure.
So so sad.. I really hate to see Mike call it Quits. 2016 is going to be a very boring year.
Good one!
Dr. Adams, I salute you!!!!!!!!!
Liberals have two standards - one for themselves (known as "anything goes") and one for everyone else (known as "you must cross every "t" and dot every "i" and it still won't be good enough")
Here's the only comfort - they are wrong. Liberals on campus have become every ugly caricature they ever had of a control freak establishment. They've become the ugly establishement. And lack the wit to see it. It would be funny if real people weren't hurt by their brain-dead, irrational grandiosity.
bump
for later viewing of Dr. Adams website - it may be deemed "offensive" here at work....
a zinger of a letter...witty, point blank, intelligent.
Good stuff!
All tenured professors are equal, but some are more equal than others.
