LOL! A very small number of students who couldn't hack physics--and who probably received poor grades--thought I was the worst prof ever. Good on them for speaking their minds. My colleagues and fellow physicists, of course, didn't quite feel that way, as evidenced by my tenure, and my numerous research and pedagogical publications. You can't go into a research library anywhere in the world without finding my work. In fact, it's quite easy to find my work discussed in just about any library--it's been mentioned in many recent science popularizations, and popular magazines--New Scientist, Sky and Telescope, Astronomy, to name a few.
And you can find students I've taught and inspired (their words, not mine) all over the country.
Not too shabby for a professional life. I'm fairly satisfied--and as many of my students discovered, I'm not easy to please.

I personally feel, and know for a fact, that just because an autograph is removed from ebay, does not mean it is bad at all. They remove good autographs all the time, and leave bad ones on. This is a fact, so having an auction removed is not always an indicator the autograph is bad or questionable.

Dave, how do you know it for a fact?
In a rare instance if they remove a good autograph then someone on the team has made a mistake. And I know for a fact the team is 99% accurate when an autograph is removed.
I can assure you they do not remove good autographs all the time. True that bad ones are left on.
And Dave at post #31 in this thread I asked a question of you but perhaps you did not see it, so I wanted to repeat myself about it now.

They are 99% accurate from looking at a scan? Wow, they are good.

Only openly egregious autographs are pulled.
The ones that are looked at here with laughter and mockery.

LOL! That's right, Richard. I listed an "openly egregious autograph," one that would be "looked at here with laughter and mockery."

Just like all the other autographs I've ever posted here, or sold on eBay.

I challenge you to find one example.

[David Atkatz]

Enough. I'm done. I know who I am, and how I've handled my professional and hobby lives. You want to see what I've done, and how I've treated people? Google me. Want to see what Richard has accomplished? Google him.

David, a few students? Not according to Mr Lichtmann.
How can a few students result in the rating you got.
And how about go f--- yourself to a female dean. Classy, but we knew that already.
You have always been a vulgarian, you cannot help it, virtually everytime you open your mouth or sit down at a keyboard you are a vulgarian.

Richard. I'll put my professional accomplishments up against yours any day of the week.

One dozen--count 'em--one dozen self-selected students, out of the literally thousands I've taught, thought I was the worst ever. As I've said before, more power to 'em. Go check it yourself--http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/--if you think you're actually capable of doing some research, rather than quoting others.

(And if you don't understand the inherent bias of self-selection, Richard, PM me--I'll explain it to you.)
