MR is cataloguing insults from Gordon Tullock to colleagues. Some take them as compliment, others don’t. Tabarrok: “Call me a masochist but one of the great pleasures of being at George Mason is that I am regularly insulted by Gordon Tullock. You have to understand, however, that in my profession not to have been insulted by Gordon is to be a nobody. … Gordon is prone to pressing people with difficult questions. One of my colleagues responded, ‘Gordon, I’m not that good at thinking on my feet.’ Without missing a beat Gordon pulled up a chair and said ‘well sit down and we’ll see how you do then.’” I don’t know what to make of it, but whenever I see Tullock in the hallway and say good morning, he invariably just stares at me with a look that says, “Do you work here?”
