So long, long ago when I was a freshman in college I took a course at the UO from a mildly obnoxious professor. It was a course in the Psychology Department, it was called PSY 330: Thinking, and I didn’t get that much out of it really. From what I vaguely remember the prof was sort of all over the place, a lefty, and didn’t like men…but there was some interesting content in there every now and again, from what I remember. So anyway, this lady turned out to be a little crazy. Okay, in my opinion, probably a lot crazy. I some how ran into her when she was trolling a now-defunct economics blog I happened to like pretty well, I didn’t think about her for a year, and then she popped up all over the damn internet. Especially as a troll at the Oregon Commentator blog.
Well, anyway, there was that whole mess that I was kind of tangentially involved in because I happened to comment on some of the blogs she was trolling, and happened to have been in one class that she taught years ago. I only mention it now because, apparently, she has me confused with a regular poster at Teh Squeaky Wheel, an outgrowth of a blogspot blog created specifically to encourage academic departments not to hire Deb. She believes me to be, for some reason, a person who’s a close associate of that blog’s proprietor. For the record, I haven’t actually commented on Teh Squeaky Wheel in a pretty long time, months and months. I will cop to belonging to Craig’s List (which I guess is a more recent outlet for Deb’s…whatever it is), but I only know what the Eugene: Rant & Rave section is from reading the Deb-related posts at Teh Squeaky Wheel. Apparently, she’s going to “mention me” in a letter she’s writing to the El Paso County court in Colorado. I feel honored, I think this will be the first time I’m mentioned in court papers. And I’m still half a decade shy of thirty, go me!
