"FRISCHED:" UNHINGED ACADEMIC OF THE YEAR

By Michelle Malkin   ·   July 08, 2006 08:32 PM

Just received from the University of Arizona regarding Jeff Goldstein's blog stalker, Deborah Frisch:

Michelle,

I have word from the head of Human Resources here that Deborah Frisch has tendered her resignation.

Jeff Harrison
University Communications
The University of Arizona

I haven't been able to get through yet, but Protein Wisdom is reportedly back online.

Frisch says she is headed to Eugene, Oregon--where she has apparently taught in the past. Schools up there might want to know why she's leaving Arizona.

***

Froggy at Blackfive says a new Internet verb is born:

To Frisch: Writing something on the internet so creepy and offensive that you are forced to quit your job before getting canned. Ex. Deb really frisched herself when she threatened that blogger's 2 year old child with death and sexual molestation.

Blackfive adds:

If you would like to donate to help Protein Wisdom move to a new server and hosting site, you can visit PayPal and use proteinwisdom-at-celluloid-wisdom.com as the Recipient's Email Address.

Take a look at some of Frisch's other rantings online:

- Defending Ward Churchill. She thinks he's "brilliant."

- Happy about the 7/7 bombings:

I don't think the people riding the London subway yesterday morning deserved to be blown up because of the war crimes committed by George Bush and condoned by Tony Blair.

But I am glad that someone said phuque you to bush, blair and the other hombres who represent (sic) the G-8 nations.

- And one big question of the day: Why is the FBI listening to this woman? Dan Riehl points to Frisch's participation in an FBI counterterrorism conference. Ace responds appropriately. Jeremy B. has the creeps. Check out her 9/11 conspiracy theorizing.

More: Jim Hoft - Threatening children nothing new for the unhinged Left

Dan Riehl has some wise words for the unhinged Left, not that they'll listen:

No public servant, military man or woman, public school teacher, or even corporate employee would be able to make such remarks without some serious consequences. At the very least, they would likely be mandated to attend some form of counseling, or possible psychiatric evaluation - and it is, first and foremost, the Left which fosters the kind of thought policing today which makes that so.

Deborah Frisch is not a victim in this. She is a well-educated, experienced, professional adult. Over time she has apparently displayed a consistent irresponsible, if not genuinely disturbed, pattern of behavior in and around political discourse while on line.

She resigned either out of instability, or a desire to not face the consequences for her actions in this latest incident.

Juliette at Baldilocks wants answers about the DDOS attacks.

More: The rationalizations continue--and Frisch is enjoying the attention. Guess it's therapeutic.

Pajamas Media bids happy trails to the "The Tonya Harding of the Blogosphere."

Bill at Pundit Guy wants to close the book on this Frisch matter, but I don't see why anyone should rush to get this over with when there are many unresolved issues at hand--not least of all, the identity of the DDOS attackers who tried to shut jeff up and whether a crime/crimes were committed.

Patterico notes that Frisch's gums are still flapping.

Here are some of the other places that Deb has left her droppings:

Left2Right, Crooked Timber, ProfessorBainbridge.com, Deinonychus antirrhopus, Cafe Hayek, EconLog, Villainous Company, and Freakonomics Blog.

She's now over at Ace of Spades asking for parley. Wonder what she wants.

Here, she readily admits to extorting employment via threats of a sexual discrimination suit against U of Oregon, and of smearing the dept head:

June 20, 2005
psychologist, analyze thyself
In the winter of 1988, I was 26 and finishing up my Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania. I interviewed for a job in the Department of Psychology at the University of Oregon. I met with the department head, a well-known social psychologist whose specialty was stereotypes. We were having a free-ranging, pleasant conversation in his third floor office when he said "Why do lesbians try to make themselves unattractive to men?"

This would turn out to be the first of many encounters with Myron "Mick" Rothbart that left me flabbergasted and irritated. But I hid my disgust (how pathetically egocentric to think that lesbians would waste energy UNattracting men, instead of focusing on attracting women!) and responded, "Maybe there's a different standard of what counts as attractive."

You might find it queer that a psychologist who studies stereotypes would have such strange stereotypes. But there's more than a grain of truth in the stereotype that psychologists study things that are problematic for them. For example, I study decision making and have a lot of trouble making decisions. I feel ambivalent about most decisions. And most people I know (including me) would say I have a tendency to make bad decisions.

One bad decision I made was not suing the quacks when they denied me tenure. The only way to sue was to accuse them of discrimination on the basis of sex and/or sexual orientation. I had a good case - Mick had lobbied effectively against me, in spite of the fact that my committee (headed by Paul Slovic, a leader in decision psychology) and Mike Posner (a leader in psychology) had supported me. (Mick was a VERY effective lobbier, as I would see ten years later when he (unbelievably) got the department to elect an unqualified male over an extremely qualified female candidate for department head.)

One day, I went to Mike Posner and said I was thinking of suing the department and alleging discrimination. I pointed out that this would entail going into detail about all of the sexually inappropriate things Mick had said over the years. I told Mike that if he would arrange for me to have two years of adjunct teaching (in addition to the seventh year people denied tenure automatically got), I wouldn't sue. Mike had ENORMOUS clout with the administration and with his help, I finegled a demotion. ...

Apparently this stalking behaviour by Deb Frisch is a matter of routine -
UCLA Corp Law Prof Bainbridge recounts her behaviour towards him, Feb 8 2005

UPDATE III: Jeff's site is back on the air, so to speak, so we can all enjoy Protein Wisdom yet again. In reading through the comments, I notice that we are quick to blame liberals (and for some strange reason, lesbians) for this kind of behavior. Let me state once more that this has nothing to do with political points of view and everything to do with a seriously damaged sense of judgment and perhaps some emotional problems. Most liberals (and lesbians) I know are decent, well-mannered people who do not deserve to get lumped in with the Deb Frisches of the world. I give you Jeralynn Merritt for a case in point (via Allahpundit at Hot Air).

Let's remember that before we start painting with wide brushes here -- and let's refrain from attempting to guess someone's sexual preferences, especially when it has no relation to the topic.

UPDATE IV: Let's not get wild on this idea of requiring a response from everyone in the blogosphere on this story. Deb Frisch is responsible for her actions -- not Mahablog, nor any other left-wing blogger who never linked or blogrolled Frisch in the first place. The "crickets chirping" on the Left just means that they probably don't read Jeff or Deb Frisch. Posted by Captain Ed at 10:43 AM | Comments (29)

It looks like BDS to me. [shrug]

Most liberals I know are decent, well-mannered people who do not deserve to get lumped in with the Deb Frisches of the world.

I wish I moved in your circles. Most liberals I know are hateful intolerant bigots who respond to logic & reason with emotional temper tantrums. A lot of us have suffered much abuse from the Left, and not just verbal. So from here, its nice to see one hoist by his own petard. And I hope she is blacklisted - she has no business teaching anyone anything.

When Lefties Attack

The Protein Wisdom saga continues.  Jeff Goldstein's site has been down for a bit due to hackers, and believe me I know the feeling.  You will recall that I was hacked and shut down for approx 6 hours after my extensive CIA Mole post.  While that was upsetting, apparently Jeff's hacker is a stalker also.  She has even gone so far to threaten his child: (via Michele Malkin)

Blackfive has even more examples of her comments:

She supposedly lost her job (not verified yet) and in true psycho fashion painted herself as the victim :

How many times have I pointed out in previous posts how unhinged these people are, the post I wrote last night highlights jsut such an example from a "professional" writer. 

Check out her post after the London Subway bombing:

Yesterday she commented at Blackfive, once again painting herself as the victim;

Quite a fantasy world, anyone who visits Jeff's blog knows the behavior she is alleging is just not true.  Kind of hard to prove it when the site is down, how convenient.  Jeff responds:

You can check out her first appearance at Protein Wisdom via google cache here.  Quite amusing, and scary to think this person teaches our youth. 

But we can do more then just highlight their psychotic behavior.  As Blackfive notes:

UPDATE III 07/08/06 1630hrs PST

Guess who is now trying to rewrite history while at the same time claiming she was the victim in all this?  

Check out this whole series of comments here where she posts as Lefty.  It all began because she called Prof. Bainbridge a closet homosexual:

UPDATE V 07/08/06 1750hrs PST 

Michelle Malkin has received a e-mail from the University of Arizona that Deb Frisch has indeed resigned:

UPDATE VI 07/08/06 2335hrs PST 

She's not done yet.  Here she updates us with the old, tired and idiotic excuse "what I said was bad, but hey, Bush is evil so I am not so bad……mmmmmkay"

Oh, btw….here is a picture of Ms. Fitsch taken from the Arizona Daily Star:

The caption reads:

Cecile McKee, left, a UA faculty member, has started looking for work where she can get benefits for partner Deborah Frisch.

Yup, that's a child in the background.  I honestly fear for that child's safety.

Jeff's site is back up since this afternoon and he has posted his thoughts:
