Reader's editor teaching english now

What a caricature this guy has been made into. After his comments repeatedly got snubbed by the standard "editorial judgment" response from N.Ram, the Reader's editor has restricted himself to culling readers' comments on errors and english grammar. Now his articles are turning out to be a good exercise on sentence correction, CAT/GMAT style. Someone with a modicum of self-respect would have quit the job long ago.

Thank you..HF..I have been saying this all along. He should spent the rest of his life reading & writing at home... with his dignity intact...

Do we know anything about the poor guy at all?

He started out as a "weekly" watchdog and then (mercifully) became a fortnightly one. Perhaps, it's time to become a monthly creature and finally fade out, as his column is getting to be more and more frivolous.
