I serve on an admissions committee. I can tell you that whenever we see a negative letter in an application, the first judgement is on the advisor. As others have said, any competent letter writer in the US academic system understands that a letter should be positive, or not written at all. That's why it's called a let...

Don't use that letter. But honestly I'd burn all sorts of bridges out of spite over something like that.

This is extremely unfortunate and uncommon. For the most part professors will decline to write a letter if they can’t write a positive one. It’s a “letter of recommendation”, not “letter of review”. This person is out to get you and I would avoid interacting with them further.

That’s really quite terrible. Sorry you are in that kind of position. The worst letter I wrote never said anything negative about a candidate. The worst letter just didn’t say anything super positive. Basically a neutral letter is as bad as it ever gets.

I get frequent notices for some paleontologist with whom I share a name, despite my being a humanist and two decades older. Finally turned it all off last summer, as I've found academia.edu to be mostly worthless anyway.
Dear Academia, That is the last name of my father and the first name of his co-author. The paper was published a quarter century ago. I am in the humanities; that paper is in a niche scientific field. Please revise and resubmit. Best wishes! A.

Supposedly there are over 3,000 mentions of my name in papers. My name is quite uncommon.
In contrast, when Research Gate says you have a citation, it's true. It's even better than Google Scholar. Citations for my unpublished PhD dissertation appear on Research Gate but not on Google Scholar.

When you get home today, don't forget to kiss your spouse and say thank you. I see this particularly in STEM researchers; it's a thing for you apparently. I'm a spouse working in the private sector. We, along with your children, get a bit tired of not seeing you much. And I cannot understand how the hell you put up wit...

Kissing your SO is always a good thing. Also, the lifestyle that you are implying is not universal and it doesn't have to be like that. Maybe some fields, maybe USA, maybe some PIs. But there are plenty of places where academia is associated with good pay and work-life balance.
I do not understand how the hell I put up with it. You wanna hire a hard working nanotechnologist? I would like to see my family a little, and afford a better house than this tiny apartment... \*sigh\*

When I *get* home?
My wife just tells me everything I did wrong when I come home. Kinda just makes me want to stay at work with my cells. At least they don't yell at me.

How do I get a spouse? Kids can come later, I guess.
Architecture school too! Once the architecture school term starts, I’m like a widow :/

YES!! It’s now at the point in my field that if you don’t have a science or nature paper AND a prestigious post doc, you’re basically SOL for any faculty positions.

I've added failed experiments/negative data into papers. You unfortunately generally need some positive/interesting result as the basis for the paper, but if things failed along the way and are relevant to the main topic of the paper, you can briefly mention the negative results and add it as a supplemental figure.

It’s one of the things ruining academia. It stems from administrators wanting a way to quantify and rank researchers’ productivity.
