Interestingly, she does not mention being bullied by Berube in that context. So I'm going to guess he did not drive her out. Just to be absolutely crystal clear about this: it is true that I did not bully Rebecca Schuman out of academe. But the more important point is that I did not bully Rebecca Schuman at all. About anything. Ever.

But don't take it from me. Take it from ... Rebecca Schuman:

That is the comment thread in which one "FOS" tried to gaslight Schuman by telling her I was waging some like of "sockpuppety" campaign against her. (BTW, I think gaslighting pregnant adjuncts is nasty and mean-spirited. That guy should apologize. He can do it here, since he's very likely already on this thread, once again accusing me of sockpuppeting. I am being accused of sockpuppeting by an anonymous troll. Irony is now officially dead. Peace be upon it.)

But that, for me, is what makes this obsessive, three-years-and-longer campaign against me so totally weird. ''Schuman herself told her readers I wasn't trolling her or otherwise messing with her. ''But the flying monkeys of the internet came after me anyway, because-- as they have demonstrated here and elsewhere, many times-- Schuman is just a pretext. Their real object is to harass me.
