This kind of predictable snark falls way short of the standards of discourse for this site. Please review the guidelines and stop posting like this here.

This wasn't snark. It's pointing out a real problem with the premise of this article. It's creating a narrative of adjunct professor exploitation based on anecdotal cases. For all we know, these anecdotes are outliers and their situation isn't due to their profession or its pay.

I could have said all that or I could have been concise. Is being concise snark?
