The best, most effective thing you can do to shut them up, is just walk away chuckling, or turn your back on them. Remember, a child who doesn't have an audience will cease throwing their tantrum. That is exactly what these perverts are after, attention!

Yikes...

It is a touch whiny, isn't it? Man, I used to eat pony-tailed twits like this prof for breakfast.

I'm with you - I was a major leauge heel at Vassar during my run in that territory. I was downgraded too in my classes, I knew it, but I never complained. This guy doesn't seem to quick with the draw, if you know what I mean.

When I got to law school, I went from a B student to an A student suddenly and without warning! Could it be that the school had an anonymous grading policy? The profs didn't know the exams were mine? Nah....

Grades don't mean much anyway!

Incredible - thanks for the ping.

This reminds me of a picture I took when Fred Phelps came to town. The 13 Phelps protesters were met by about 50 counter protesters. While I'm not sure how long I'll keep this photo up, here's a picture of three of the counter protesters. Notice the guy on the left is wearing a shirt that says "I [love] Dick".

The message that ex-gays exist and their numbers are growing needs to be shouted from the rooftops.

How so? He wasn't constantly saying 'woe is me', he was just relating what happened to him. It seems like something the public might want to know.

A professor likes Richard Nixon? That's unusual!

Sounds like continuous sexual harassment of a student to me.

The Night of the Long Knives was not about getting rid of deviants; that was the public reason. It was to prevent rebellion by Rohm and his fellows.

There were plenty of deviants left, including Hitler.

Read "The Pink Swastika" by Scott Lively and Kevin Abrams and "The Hidden Hitler" by Lothan Machtar.

I would always respond that I wished to refrain from “sex” and/or “sexual intimacy” until marriage because such relations were God’s gift to marriage. My explanations were always received by Professor Vocino with a derogatory smile.

Pleased to meet you. Hope you guessed my name.

I am shocked he lasted that long in class. I had a philosophy professor who told us on the first day that we had to buy a different textbook....the one wrote and that we would not be learning the basics, but concentrating on only black philosophers. I dropped the class the same day.

Color me befuddled but academia really seems to be slipping on the requirement of obligatory qualifications because it would appear that, like Ward Churchill, "Professor" Vocino hasn't quite gotten around to completing his doctorate. His resume lists him as a candidate for a Ph.D. It used to be no tickee, no shirtee. That being that, how does a Vocino get tenure without a ticket (Ph.D)? We only presume tenure because of his brazeness in touting Queer Politics.

Yikes...

You're not kidding......
