Quit Dogging on Freedman Will Ya?

If anyone read "Ivy J-Schoolers Fail Ethics, Ace Irony" by Radar Online's Jeff Bercovici, you probably know what I'm talking about. How Mr. J.B.'s last two paragraphs relate to the issue at hand is a mystery to me. Yes, Sam Freedman has his quirks. But, aren't we are all a little quirky in some ways? He stands behind a podium and reads his lectures word for word. He gets visibly agitated whenever someone gets up during lecture to use the bathroom. He starts all his lectures with "Back in (insert year here)." But, the truth is, he knows his #$%^ and he is dedicated to his teaching. Many J-Schoolers feel like Freedman should explain himself--why he does what he does, why he teaches the way he does, why he gets angry when students use the bathroom during class. But, he's the captain and we're just sailing on his ship right? As long as we get to our final destination, who the hell cares?
