Mister Boyd

One of my friends (and colleagues) just had a paper accepted for a CHI short and he forwarded me one of the best comments i’ve read in a long time:

“Mister Boyd might prefer that you used caps in citing his thesis.”

Not only did they assume that he made one mistake on his citations, but they also assumed maleness. Ah, how i love CHI reviewers.
