Now charges like this--once confirmed--could be the basis for dismissal. Classroom fabrications alone have caused problems for far more august scholars.

Of course we also go over a line if we examine those whose views we don't like (Pluss or Chamberlain) for example for any fabrications, plagiarism, misattribution, etc, while letting those whose views we agree with escape the same examination.

Mr. Lederer, You surely mean Churchill rather than Chamberlain. Sure, it would be wrong only to hold up the scholarship of those who have offended us politically and to hold innocent of scholarly flaw all of those who don't offend us. But, why not then make bad motivation illegal? There is, undoubtedly, a lot of bad scholarship out there. Neither you nor I have the time, energy, or resources to go track it all down. Those who create it ought to be smart enough to stay out of spotlights.

The comments made above by Dennis Johnson are completely ridiculous. First, let me categorically state that I have never plagiarized a thing, either in my scholarly or non-scholarly writings! But, more to the point, just take one of Johnson's statements and examine in it a second or two: how, in the world, could I have been raised near a German Bund Camp when I wasn't even born until 1953? The German-American Bund was long dead by then, of course. And, for another example of Johnson's "fertile imaginings," he seems to accuse me of having mis-handled student evaluations for the graduate course in which he was enrolled. But I myself was never requested to hand out (or appoint a student to hand out and collect) any evaluations for the course in question! Finally, if he's going to list a very partial bibliography of my scholarly work, at least he can spell the word "dowry" correctly--it's not "dowery", and least not in my title. I've no idea how Johnson conjured up the rest of the incorrect nonsense about me, but I can assure the readers here of one thing: Dennis Johnson performed at the very bottom of the course scoring system. He was clearly unable to "think outside the box," and he did not understand the postmodernist approach I took to the course material. Most others surely did. What we have, in Johnson, is a jealous young man of mediocre intellect, who must blame me for the inadequate performance I and the rest of the seminar could not help but view in him. Shame. As for his completely unprofessional remarks about Julius Kirshner, now Professor Emeritus at The University of Chicago, I can only say that Kirshner was a fine mentor and a good friend, and I myself never had reason to question his professional conduct. It was a joy, in fact, to study under so gifted a scholar, and even though I have not had contact with him in many years, I wish him all the best.

Typically, Mr. Pluss has both ethical and epistemological difficulties on display here.
First, in a gross violation of student privacy law and professional ethics -- and possibly libel, to boot -- he reveals a students grade and disparages his performance.
Second, a simple failure of reading. "near Nazi-American Bund campsite" is not the same as "near a German Bund Camp."
