(Updated)
I'm coming up on this Debbie Frisch story late, true to the "Rammage's Law of Blogosphere Inactivity" that states that the most interesting stories always break when I'm away from the computer for more than 24 hours. I have nothing much to add to this story that hasn't already been discussed ad nauseam (start here, here, and here), but I did find one morsel that I'd like to share.
This snippet, entitled "quacks@Oregon" is from Ms. Frisch's blog, written on January 22, 2005:
I used to work in the psychology department at the University of Oregon. When [they] denied me tenure, the only way I could fight it was to allege discrimination on the basis of sex and/or sexual orientation.
Well, of course. I think that goes without saying. What else could it be?
With such artful prose as this:
Give your pathetic progeny (I sure hope that mofo got good genes from his mama!) a big fat tongue-filled kiss from me! LOTS AND LOTS OF SALIVA from Auntie MOONBAT, if you don’t mind! Somehow, Jeffy boy, I think you get off on the possibility of Frenching your pathetic progeny, even if it is a boy. You seem like a VERY, VERY sick mofo to me, bro.
...It's difficult to imagine why she hasn't achieved tenure yet. The ironic part of Ms. Frisch crying she-wolf at the University of Oregon is that her comment above was made to Protein Wisdom's Jeff Goldstein, and his two-year-old son. She should be so lucky that the law will not take her threats as seriously as if they had originated from a man made towards someone else's two-year-old daughter.

Update: In retrospect, I probably should have taken the Don Boudreaux-approach in dealing with Deb Frisch -
I received today this trackback to an earlier post of mine. It’s quite hostile. And its author – one Deb Frisch – commits several mistakes.
I began to write a reply, treating her comments seriously. But after getting a few paragraphs into my reply, I decided to learn more about Ms. Frisch. So I googled her name. A few minutes of exploration convince me that any response would be futile, a waste of time.
Exactly.
