Re: [Phys-l] Should teachers blog???

Rate my Professor is a complete joke. When I was teaching online for  
awhile, someone from the faculty lounge who didn't like the viewpoints  
of a few other teachers, including me, submitted ratings on RMP that  
said we were all known to make racist comments online. No filter on  
the ratings. Also, we discovered that anyone can comment on that site  
as many times as you wish. So, several of us got together and gave one  
another a slew of outstanding ratings, including comments that all of  
us were hot looking!
