<p>Ha! One need not worry about me: my ties to academia are tenuous and becoming ever more so. </p>
<p>However, who I really worry for are other people. I can easily walk away. I know many others that cannot, either for family reasons, and/or (frankly) a lack of marketable skills. They feel that they have to continue to play the game whether they like it or not. Nor would they dare to post controversial topics such as this on this discussion board for fear of possibly being found out and having their job prospects damaged, whereas I don’t care.</p>
