Chronicle blogger: Goldy, you were kind of asking for it
Goldy, we’re honestly sorry your mask got damaged, and we’re glad the human inside you wasn’t hurt. But next time a fan gets annoyed with you, move on. He may be a tree-climbing mathematician who just wants to watch some gymnastics.

(Plug alert: Tweed mentions my On Campus post from Wednesday.)
