See You Now

It vexes A Certain Person that based on my published work, mostly on here, the Centre of Theology and Philosophy at the University of Nottingham simply assumed that I must have had a PhD, and duly billed me as "Dr David Lindsay". 

Of course I corrected them as soon as I found out, as I have had to correct various people in correspondence over the years, beginning before I had ever been to university. (I am now in negotiations on three continents about academic positions, so watch this space.)

But it drives You Know Who up the wall. No one could read anything by him and mistakenly assume its author to be an academic. That just would not happen. It could not happen. The suggestion is absurd. And he knows it. Oh, but he knows it.

Nevertheless, he no doubt refers to "Dr Angelou" when mentioning a person who never went to college. Even further right again, his colleagues would use "Dr Paisley" for a man who, although better credentialed than that, was not a great deal more so.

We need one of our own, on the same principle. Contributions to our thought are ineligible for official recognition, so we have to confer it by our own acclaim. On whom, then, should we do so? Dr Corbyn? Dr Williamson? Dr Galloway? Or has anyone any other suggestions?
