The Impulsive Folly of Andrés Guadamuz of Technollama
Dr Andrés Guadamuz, a senior lecturer in intellectual property law for University of Sussex has picked a fight without really thinking about the consequences. In a series of actions that can only be described as “drive-by punditry”, in this era of poor impulse control, and tweeting or blogging before the brain is in gear, Andrés Guadamuz may become the poster child for this new phenomena.
People who have problems thinking before tweeting, much like those who are driving their vehicles, thinking that no one I know is looking, and to reveal their true nature. For those who love justice and mercy, they will often concede to a more aggressive driver, not because they are weak, but because they are wise. Likewise, those who struggle with mental condition such as inflated ego, entitlement complexes, and narcissistic or sociopathic personality disorders, will often manifest in traffic in disturbing ways. So to with ignorant and arrogant social networking uses who tweet half-cocked.
The full account of his rants and subsequent justification of his actions are detailed by the fellow academic he attacked, Dr Janice Duffy, in here Authorized Statement in response to his punditry.
