My turn to feed the troll.

It’s unclear what Michael Berube is trying to argue. You upset people by insults, mockery, and the use of intimidating language. You demand proof you’re a bully in an attempt to control what people to vent about, and you appear to be stalking people you claim are stalking you.

You forgot to mention Rebecca blocked you from posting on her blog. You forgot to mention that at the time of the exchange she had been invited to Penn State and had to deflect questions about you. (Luckily, blocking you was and is a soft way to avoid you.) You forgot to make clear that while mocking Rebecca during her pregnancy, you repeatedly said she was having “internet temper tantrums”. People who aren’t full tenured professors don’t have the liberty to speak against people like you, even on blogs. Demanding that she call you out HERSELF as a bully then or now, is a bully move. Demanding this of her months later is in line with the rest of what you’ve said, in that it doesn’t make sense. But it’s great you’ve given up trolling her for the time being.

Your inflammatory remarks in this thread include calling people flying monkeys, stalkers, and claiming they have perverted fantasies about you. If you’d like more evidence of the type of thing you smear around, and would like to understand with better context why people have had to vent after interacting with you, please go on commenting.

Scott Timberg has added to the Berube hagiography and, like Berube and Miles, does not address his behavior or the venting about it. With a similar tack as Berube, Timberg begins by avoiding the subject and then launches a “Flat-earther” insult. It’s unclear what the purpose of posting such remarks is, beyond insulting people who have been ridiculed by your friend. I suppose it’s an expression of friendship. Do you or anyone have ideas about why Michael Berube or anyone should be able to remove “vented” content, just because you don’t approve of it? Should everything go through a Michael Berube or other full tenured professor filter? That could be a middle ground, right? Just submit that no others may have any agency whatever, especially in critique of tenured full professors. They decide how people are to respond to insults and ridicule. It’s all in the hands of the gods, the tenured full professors and their friends. Michael Berube and his network decide, the crony contributions based on their friendship with him, rather than the situation at hand.

Michael Berube, in case you are stalking me, too, I am not at home nor anywhere near my institution.
