Haters Are Going to Hate: Still More Dr. Drew Bashing by Ephblog's Beta Males

WILLIAMSTOWN, MA - I checked in with Ephblog this morning and saw that one of the authors on the site who goes by the pseudonym The Good Son was busy bashing my good name and reputation for no reason at all. As far as I can tell, TGS is planning on ending his participation at Ephblog. He intends to go out with a three-part series about Ephblog organized around the characters in the iconic spaghetti western, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (1966). 

I remember I saw this film at the drive-in theatre, the Mustang, in my hometown of Newhall, CA. You will undoubtedly remember it as a thrilling Civil War era tale directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood as "the Good", Lee Van Cleef as "the Bad", and Eli Wallach as "the Ugly". If you have not seen the film, you really should. You will most likely recognize the musical score by Ennio Morricone.

TGS begins his carefully organized take on Ephblog by reviewing what he believes is "ugly" about it. There are only two people in that category, me and a truly bizarre loser named Kenneth Thomas '93. I have written about Ken Thomas over at Anonymous Political Scientist. If you want an example of how being smart does not necessarily lead to being successful, or well, you may enjoy my comments regarding Kenneth Thomas '93 which are included in my popular article on mental illness at Williams. 

TGS looks like an anti-conservative hater who cannot accept the value of free speech. "The one year experiment in Ephblog being a John Drew free zone is coming to an end sometime soon," he writes. "In the future, I am hopeful his voluntary banishment will continue ad infinitum." 

As I recall TGS promised Ephblog readers he would "post things that are interesting and informative" on a weekly basis. This promise was quickly broken and forgotten. As far as I can tell, TGS has only posted two articles between May 20, 2020 and August 21, 2020. 

Who is the feckless TGS? We can learn a lot about TGS by looking through his own posts at Ephblog. As far as I can tell,  TGS was an under-achieving legacy student. He has both an older brother and a father who graduated from Williams. By TGS's own account, he wasted the chance he was given to benefit from a Williams education, writing that he "did not take full advantage of everything it had to offer." He was so lame that he never asked a girl out for a date while he was a student. He writes: " I never really mustered the 20 seconds of courage while at Williams." Perhaps the most telling clue about this privileged loser is that he reports that his "...first job after Williams was as a kindergarten assistant teacher." 

TGS's pathetic, uncourageous, beta male status has now left him with little to show for his life. He reports that he only gave the tiniest gifts to Williams until "my wife finally started to support me in the style in which I deserve." He shares, without the embarrassment, "I have been a stay-at-home dad for the last 21 years." 

Ultimately, what is sad about TGS is that he might have grown and developed his talent further if he had fully participated in Ephblog, particularly in an Ephblog that included a conservative street-fighter like me. For the record, I have been quite active in seeking to protect conservative students and faculty at Williams. Without the platform of Ephblog, I have had to invent some new communications tools. These include the following:

All of these Williams related sites have been established in the last year. I have no doubt I would not have created any of them without first being asked to leave my role as a contributor at Ephblog. Sadly, Ephblog appears to be near the end of its useful life span. The proprietor has indicated he will soon give it up. This is a shame. Conservative students on campus need support. They are unlikely to get it from their faculty or the administration. Their health and safety is dependent on their ability to get there stories out to the general public. The ugly verbal abuse of white students at the hands of CARE Now activists at the April 9, 2019 College Council meeting was a vivid piece of evidence that the woke mob has no empathy for its victims.

Accountability for Thee, But Not for Me: Williams Record Admonishes Williams College Council

WILLIAMSTOWN, MA - In the Williams Record today, we can find a nifty opinion piece where the unnamed authors ignore the vicious, bigoted abuse of white students on the College Council, while demanding new standards for elected student leaders that the Williams Record would never live up to itself. How charmingly New England...

1. Transparency

For example, there is now a demand for greater accountability from the CC, particularly a call to stop the abuse of power we saw last semester when student representatives took the cowardly approach of discriminating against a Jewish student organization, Williams Initiative for Israel (WIFI), by failing to reveal their vote records. This way student representatives managed to bring negative national/international attention to their decision in a manner which shielded them from appropriate individual consequences.

Pro Tip: The Williams Record should also also list its editorial board members and how they vote on each collective opinion. The current practice of saying that an editorial opinion was the product of a majority of the board members is a subterfuge designed to give each member of the board the opportunity to plausibly deny they supported any particular editorial position. 

2. Diversity and Equality

The major news from last semester was not the process of approving funding for Black Previews. It was the outright, hateful, bigot tirade that two CARE Now black activist students directed again white male students on the College Council at the April 9, 2019 meeting. Watch the video (the shouting begins at 45:00).

The verbal attack on the young white men was so intense that it brought some of them to tears. This display of emotion only emboldened the verbally abusive students. Seyi Olaose '21 used these tears to further the white student's humiliation.

Seyi Olaose: This is white liberal s***.

Isaiah Blake: This is the s***, the tears…

Seyi Olaose: Because nobody wants to talk. Because you had a lot of questions. You had a lot of questions. And I’ve had classes with you. I know what kind of d***heads you are. I’ve had political science with you. It’s s*** that opens up all a yo white moderate f***ing liberal bullshit. I know the type of person you are. So what do you want to say?

The Williams Record conveniently forgets its responsibility to preserve a healthy learning environment for white male students on campus, students who should have never been verbally abused in this manner.

Pro Tip: The Williams Record should start printing up anonymous comments from white students who wish to complain about the way their are being mistreated by members of the administration, faculty and student body. Failing to protect white male students is clearly racism by any definition. 

3. Communication

The Williams Record insists The CC site should be updated more frequently to reflect weekly developments. Meanwhile, the paper only reports once a week and censors comments from those it disagrees with including outside political activists.

Pro Tip: The Williams Record should permit its opponents to register their objections to their news articles. This way full communication might be restored...especially for ex-faculty and ex-students who have been harmed by the leftwing bias of the campus.

4. FinCom Reform

The Record wants the student body to elect the members of the committee that approves requests for funding. I assume this is because the FinCom is dominated by white guys. The Record probably thinks fiscally responsible, white men would be less likely to make those decisions if they were subject to direct election. 

Pro Tip: Likewise, the Williams Record should open up the deliberations of its editorial board. In fact, the members of the board should be directly elected by the students. The editorial board should be expected to behave in a manner more consistent with its own seemingly Maoist ideology. 

5. Acknowledging Mistakes and Revising Policy

The Williams Record asks the CC to correct some of its "mistakes" while ignoring the most glaring, alarming mistakes which caught national attention. There is no suggestion that the CC should properly and accurately record its minutes, enlist a Sargent-at-Arms to police their meetings, or follow its own bylaws for the achievement of a quorum. The CC meetings I watched last semester were poorly led, poorly policed, and conducted with little attention to the CC's own, written rules and regulations. This is an affront to anyone with a sincere interest in democratic governance. It also opens up members of the CC to public ridicule for their fecklessness and inexperience with obvious political norms. 

Pro Tip: The Williams Record should follow its own procedures and immediately do everything in its power to make the campus more hospitable for white male students, Republicans, Jews, and conservatives. This means appointing conservative columnists, developing positive stories about the white race and its cultural achievements, protecting pro-Israel students from physical threats and verbal abuse, and providing opportunities for conservative students, faculty and alumni to add their opinions and recommendations in a fair and balanced manner within each article. 

The most significant question on campus is whether or not the Williams Record has the guts needed to apply the standards it expects of the CC to itself. Does it, in the end, do the right thing or not?
