In Steve's post about Deb Frisch's misrepresenting Professor Bainbridge's blog article about the UCLA diversity program, Deb spews in the comments section:
I've never encountered someone in the blogoshere that I knew was a right wing christian capitalist before. And I think this guys a closeted homosexual, to boot. So he's about as low in my pecking order as a person could be.I guess this is a sign that (a) Deb doesn't get around the blogosphere much or (b) I don't post enough. Probably a little of both. For the record:
1. "right wing" -- I voted alomst straight ticket (except for the congressional race, where the R running was a nutbar).
2. "christian" -- I'm a hardcore Methodist, attend church weekly, and even (horror of horrors) sing in the choir.
3. "capitalist" -- I lke money. In keeping with item 2 above ("For the love of money is the root of many evils"), I'm not obsessed with it or anything, but I like it nonetheless.
I'm not closeted, so I don't know if that raises or lowers Deb's esteem for me. Not that I care all that much what a Lilith* wannabe thinks of me.
If she really wants to get her dander up, she should try reading Gay Patriot or Boi from Troy.
* -- Lilith is a code name for a cyberloon obseessed with SBI's. Her true name is not spoken in polite company.
DF re: birdbrain: If he's an out homo, then I have an iota of respect for him. If he's an out hetero, then I have an iota less contempt for him.
Read much, Dave? And the only reason I cared about the birdbrain's sexual orientation is that he's a bloated, republican, catholic windbag. Trust me, I don't care one iota about your s.o., since you are not a big enough presence in the blogosphere to be worth taking shots at.
But hey, thanks for sharing.
This really does seem to be the second coming of "JadeGold."

Posted by: Robin Roberts on February 12, 2005 10:33 AMDear tweety bird (robin, get it?)
I can see why you spend your time in the bowels of stevie's little blog. Your social perception skills are dismal - you can say a lot of things about trolls, but people who are tough enough to go looking for trouble tend to have pretty healthy egos.
Posted by: lefty on February 12, 2005 10:44 AMWhat's odd, Deb, is that you seem to spend quite a bit of time in the same place. Me, I go to work (at a bank, in Texas, DUH NUH NUH!), do the analytical work they pay me for, come home, eat dinner, have a beer, maybe browse the blogosphere for a bit, and go to bed. Steve's on my regular reading list, as are any number of other blogs, but what I really don't have time for is trolling, say, Atrios or Max Sawicky or (heaven forbid) Oliver Willis just to call the posters there morons.
It'd be easy to do, oh my so very easy, but I have better and more interesting things to do with my time: working on my book, going out socially, trying to keep myself from hitting on the married women at work, reading my copy of Mathematical Statistics With Applications (Wackerly et. al. you might want to get a copy once you can both read and do multivariate calculus), etc. But I guess it's a boring life for lesbian law professors in LA, California being such a hot spot for rampant Republicanism and all. Then again, I guess not everyone out there wishes death upon the leader of their country, so maybe you are awash in far-right lunacy.
Oh well, the world may never know. Steve: this is the only time I'll be feeding the trolls, I just couldn't resist.
Posted by: Timothy on February 12, 2005 11:30 AMHi Timmy - thanks for playing. I wonder if Professor Bainbridge has any advice for some wine to keep on hand in case bush, dick or cunti croak.
Maybe i'll write to the cherubic catholic.
This Deb Frisch affair is so 12pm. I'm far more interested in the acronym "SBI". What does that mean in this context? I gather it's not the State Bank of India. ;-) And any clues about the secret identity of Lilith?
SBI = Silicone Breat Implants.
No ask me no more, for fear of summoning the deamon of which Dave speaks.
Posted by: Steve on February 12, 2005 02:00 PMThat's demon, stevie.
According to MY Methodist training (well, a little Lutheran and Pentacostal Church of God in there as well), the quote is 'the love of money is the root of ALL evil.'
Do you have one of those revised Bibles, or was that a paraphrase from memory?
Posted by: sofla on February 12, 2005 04:57 PMAlso, I might add, a FORMER choir member (as a now lapsed Methodist), which might explain why we usually are singing from apparently different hymnals!
Posted by: sofla on February 12, 2005 04:59 PMRead much, Dave? And the only reason I cared about the birdbrain's sexual orientation is that he's a bloated, republican, catholic windbag.
Wow, what a bizarre statement. She can't argue with him on any actual substance, so she tries an ad hominem insult. Funny thing is, I thought leftists were the epitome of tolerance and acceptance -- liberals supposedly don't consider calling someone "gay" an insult. I am shocked and appalled to find out that isn't true.[/pollyanna]
Karl -- go to Google's newsgroups, look under alt.support.breast-implant. Chances are you'll identify Lilith within reading 3 threads. Key phrases are "paid propogandist," "PR flack," and "industry shills".
Posted by: Dave on February 12, 2005 05:04 PMsofla --
1 Timothy 6:10, St. Paul writes: "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." (NIV version)
King James version says "all evil." NIV is considered a more accurate translation since it's Greek translated directly into English. KJV was poorly translated from Latin.
Posted by: Dave on February 12, 2005 05:15 PMDave, what's funny is that she considers both "christian" and gay such insults. Huge wealth of bigotry and self-loathing there - from someone who supposedly has the training to recognize it in herself. And more amusing is that she aims that insult at a group of people only some of which identify themselves by that religion.
Posted by: Robin Roberts on February 12, 2005 06:35 PMDeb writes the following:That's demon, stevie.
And earlier she wrote:
You're not one of those limp-loped pissants that says "HEY! You wrote WHOSE instead of WHO'S!" and use that as an excuse to ignore a 30 page paper, are you?
Guess we know who the limp-lobed one is.
Posted by: Steve on February 12, 2005 07:32 PMI see I need to slow down and explain things VERY carefully. I am not making fun of the cherubic catholic for being gay. I don't even know if he's gay. I'm making fun of him for being closeted or repressed. I'm making fun of him for appearing to be less than virile, in the unlikely event he is heterosexual. I'm making fun of him in the way he makes fun of liberals, for example, in his posting of the billboard with dubya. I'm giving him back some of what he dishes out to lefties. I realize this is outrageously offensive to some of you boys, but deal with it.
I'm making fun of him for appearing to be less than virile
Why does this make any difference at all to you? Is it remotely relevant to your dispute with him? Or is this simply the only tool in your toolbox?
Posted by: Slartibartfast on February 12, 2005 08:50 PMI articulate my reasons for despising the pudgy professor on my blog. Here, it's pure sport, slarti.
How the HELL are catholics going to know when the pope is dead? Hasn't he seemed dead for years???
Posted by: lefty on February 12, 2005 08:52 PMHow the HELL are catholics going to know when the pope is dead?Posted by: Slartibartfast on February 12, 2005 08:57 PMWhy do you care? Why is it important to you what people believe? For that matter, why is anyone's sexuality of any interest at all to you?
how do you do that groovy box thing, slarto?
Posted by: lefty on February 12, 2005 09:03 PMIt's a combination of advanced, top-secret military technology and stupidity. Not that those things are always separable.
Or it could be HTML tags.
Posted by: Slartibartfast on February 12, 2005 09:08 PMgotcha. thanks for the tip.
hmmm.
did we just have an entire exchange
without baring fangs and drawing
blood?
Seems that way. I've got no stake in any kind of protracted combat with you. Nor, I suspect, do any of the other commenters here.
Posted by: Slartibartfast on February 12, 2005 09:28 PMfair enough. 'night slart.
Did Deb used to teach at the University of Oregon? I had a nigh-on psychotic psychology professor by the name Deborah Frisch a few years ago, be funny if she was the one ruining everyone's lives and eating all our steak.
Posted by: Timothy on February 13, 2005 01:07 PMTimothy, gaze on her blog and wonder at the internet, that psychotics too may surf the web.
Posted by: Robin Roberts on February 13, 2005 02:01 PMTimothy, gaze on her blog and wonder at the internet, that psychotics too may surf the web.
And network with other psychotics.
Posted by: Dave on February 13, 2005 02:12 PMI'm pretty sure it is her Timothy. Search usig google for Oregon and use the site:debfrisch.com to restrict it to her site. She taught there for 13 years then moved to Arizona.
Posted by: Steve on February 13, 2005 02:27 PMUh, that too, Dave.
Posted by: Robin Roberts on February 13, 2005 02:45 PMHey Timmy,
Your name doesn't ring a bell. What class was it?
I don't reckon many UFO students move to texas. Can you say something to prove to me that you were in the class? Like what it was?? No fair if you just provide info available on the web.
Stevie: Don't help him!!
Posted by: lefty on February 13, 2005 05:45 PMDave: Timothy, gaze on her blog and wonder at the internet, that psychotics too may surf the web.
And network with other psychotics.
Deb: Uh, Dave. You know this sounds like you're calling your own blog a network of psychotics, right. I assume it's a joke, but I can't be 100% sure and that scares me.
Posted by: lefty on February 13, 2005 06:07 PMDave: Timothy, gaze on her blog and wonder at the internet, that psychotics too may surf the web.
Actually, Robin.
Dave. You know this sounds like you're calling your own blog a network of psychotics, right.
No, read his earlier comment to Karl.
Posted by: Steve on February 13, 2005 06:15 PMLooks like Timmy's for real! What a coincidence. Sorry I don't remember you. But why would you think I'd give a rat's ass if if a moron who lurks in the bowels of stevie's blog thinks I'm a moonbat, even if he was a student of mine one day?
Really, Timmy, you drastically overrate your importance and memorability. I do feel bad that I failed to instill the slightest ability to think or write logically in you. I almost feel like a failure.
Yikes.
DF
Posted by: lefty on February 13, 2005 07:28 PMdeb is the epitome of "projection".
Posted by: Robin Roberts on February 13, 2005 07:37 PMTimmy: You do track back to the Oregon Comentator. Wow.
Tell you what. I was planning on keeping quiet about the stupid white men who fired me at Oregon. I didn't want to embarrass the cheaters too much.
But you are inspiring me to just name the names.
How would you feel if you knew that YOU personally were responsible for my naming names (and in the process, revealing even more sordid details) of some of the stupid, sexist, sleazebag white men at the U of O? You'd be FAMOUS - like Steve Prefontaine!
Let me know if you want me to name these fellow's names in YOUR honor, Timmy!
Say the word, Timmy and it is a DONE deal.
Fuck you to the whiteboyz@quacks, from your friends@OregonCommentator.
http://debfrisch.com/archives/000072.html
Posted by: lefty on February 13, 2005 07:37 PMRobin: You are correct, sir. And, given the content of that class, they fired her ass for incompetence. Not surprised she doesn't remember me, I'd long have forgotten if not for the trolling.
Posted by: Timothy on February 13, 2005 07:43 PMWell, Timothy, so far I've not been impressed - to say the least - so your tale is consistent with my brief exposure to her less-than-coherent writings.
Posted by: Robin Roberts on February 13, 2005 08:19 PMRobin: She wasn't as bad in class as her website, but let's just say I'm glad I learned my stats from guys like Daming Xu in the Math department and Mark Thoma over in Economics.
Posted by: Timothy on February 13, 2005 08:34 PMThoma? I stumbled on some of his work when we were discussing energy policy last year.
Posted by: Robin Roberts on February 13, 2005 10:01 PMGreat guy, hell of an instructor, but damn was his class hard.
Posted by: Timothy on February 13, 2005 10:13 PMTimmy,
I think you're faking - I didn't teach statistics. Oops! And you still haven't told me whether you want to accept my offer that I will dish some more dirt about MR and RM in the psychology department. I will be happy to let the men know that they can thank the boyz at the Commentator.
P.S. It truly is fascinating to hear you metaphorically suck the guys you allegedly had as profs, but I thought you had better things to do than lurk in comments section? Keep your eyes peeled on my blog for a naming of names of assholes at Oregon who would have remained nameless, except for a boy named Timmy@Oregon.Commentator. As I recall, that was a lame quasi-right wing piece of crap that no one read. Is it still that way?
Posted by: lefty on February 14, 2005 06:51 AMSo, Deb, when Timmy said:
I had a nigh-on psychotic psychology professor by the name Deborah Frisch a few years ago
you thought he meant statistics? Interesting.
Posted by: Slartibartfast on February 14, 2005 07:00 AMNo slartimoron, it was this gem from timmyboy, in a pathetic display of name-dropping and ass-kissing (Timmy's not your boyfriend, is he davie?):
let's just say I'm glad I learned my stats from guys like Daming Xu in the Math department and Mark Thoma over in Economics.
Posted by: lefty on February 14, 2005 07:13 AMI think he's alluding to your statistical mishap that started this whole soiree, Deb. Just a guess, though.
Posted by: Slartibartfast on February 14, 2005 07:14 AMI think you're right slart. Thanks for the wakeup call that it's a waste of time to chitchat with you limp-lobed losers, even though Timmyboy is tempting. Have fun.
Thanks, Deb. The "you big stupidhead" means a great deal, considering I had to point that the obvious to you. If you're constantly being corrected by limp-lobes, what does that make you?
Posted by: Slartibartfast on February 14, 2005 07:24 AMThanks Dave for the hint on "Lilith". It indeed was sufficient.
I think everyone should cool down here. Maybe we have an ex-professor on the verge of going postal and maybe we don't. To slightly paraphrase Vernor Vinge here, we reside in the land of a million lies.
As for you, "lefty", do you really care about what goes on here? I figure at least a quarter of these posts in this thread are yours which means no small effort on your part. What's the point? Are you really getting anything out of this exchange?
Well, obviously, she's given us all irrefutable proof of her superiority.
As far as your ad hominems go, Deb, the football team at my high school did better.
Posted by: Timothy on February 14, 2005 09:54 AMDid I read this right?
Deb mocks Timmy, is corrected by Slarti, and then decides that having misunderstood what was going on is proof of her superiority?
Karl, I don't think she's on the verge of going postal. That would suggest an ability to handle firearms without inflicting mortal injury to herself first.
I think this is much closer to a cri de coeur from someone desperately in need of attention.
But I'm feeding the trolls, so I'll stop here....
