Actually, I'm not.  But there are similarities.  LawProf, the anonymous author of a blog called  Inside the Law School Scam , purports to be a mid-career, tenured professor at a top-tier law school. p90  According to  this article , which says the reporter confirmed that LawProf is who he says he is, he teaches at a well-regarded but not top-10 law school, is active in publication and service, and has taught at four law schools.  Pretty similar so far.  But I've taught at five law schools, didn't graduate from an American high school, and seem to have graduated a few years after this person.  
Also, I don't write anonymously.  (With one exception: I've written one cracking good humor piece, which I published anonymously in a journal, primarily because I wrote it mostly as a diversion p90 from more serious work and didn't want to yoke my identity to humor writing, and partly because I didn't want to feel as if I was feuding with the scholars I gently made fun of.)  LawProf says he writes anonymously because he feels he would face repercussions if he wrote under his own name, and also because he feels he can be more honest that way.  Unlike some of my online colleagues, I don't necessarily have a problem with anonymous writing (see this piece ), and I will assume that LawProf really does feel that he can write more honestly this way.  But it seems to me that tenure is a reward for showing that you will write the truth as you see it despite possible repercussions (in theory, at least; obviously, we're all human, and I'm convinced that too many scholars truckle to others for various reasons), and LawProf doesn't measure up splendidly p90 according to that standard.  Again, we're p90 all human; but he doesn't.  More important, the kind of honesty that anonymity allows can sometimes lack a deeper level of integrity: that is, it can pride itself on its brutal franknes
