Not quite the same, but I once turned out for the college rugby team (the captain of which couldn't stand me) and scored both tries in a very rare win for us.
The match report mentioned several players, including the guy who scored the conversions and other people who'd been deemed useful to the outcome, but literally no mention of me.
I turned it into a running gag, and it embarrassed him greatly (which didn't endear me to him in any way).
Also, now I remember, I was a junior author once on a biggish paper (for which I'd done most of the groundwork), where the lead author bizarrely changed my name halfway through the editing process: he claimed not to have known my correct initials, despite us literally working side by side in the department, and was 'unable' to make a correction. Again, I turned it into a bit of a joke, with a specific note on my CV.
Is there a beef, academic or otherwise, with this author? Is it political? Or is there perhaps a degree of scholastic jealousy?
