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.

This is Being Black at Williams: Familiar Themes Include Politically Incorrect Sexual Attraction

WILLIAMSTOWN, MA - I noticed a fun Instagram account that you should probably read. The account is called @blackatwilliams. The Williams Record published an article about it on August 5, 2020. 

As far as I can tell, there are others similar to it at other schools. 

I read through all the posts. The overall impression I got was not that blacks were oppressed (or being killed) at Williams College, but that the concerns expressed by black undergraduates have changed very little from my days as a leftist student at Occidental College in the 1970s. 

All the familiar themes are there. Black women, for example, complain neither white or black men find them attractive enough. One comment reads:

"Hearing black men say that all other factors aside, they'd choose a less attractive white girl over a more attractive black girl." 

"At a school party, I ran into some white boys from my entry. They were talking about sex. I don't know how we got into it, but one of them mentioned to me that they did not want to have sex with a black girl. To me. A black girl." 

"I've heard multiple guy friends say they would never date a black girl." 

Many posts express irritation at whites who say the word "nigger" even when they are simply singing along to the lyrics of a song at a party. Still, more offense is created when non-blacks say nigger even if they are reading the word out loud in a classroom setting. 

"Whenever I was at a party I would get anxiety anytime a song with the n-word would come on." 

"In a popular Africana Studies class, a white student argued she should be able to use the n-word because she buys black artists' music (like on iTunes), and thus, according to her, she bought the right to repeat their lyrics." 

There are also the usual complaints that white and Asian students do not like to participate in labs where they are in a group that includes a black person. In their view, non-blacks are concerned that having a  black lab partner will weigh down the group's grade. 

"The way black students, especially black women, are treated in the bio classes is fucking ridiculous."

If true, I think these slights are most likely a side effect of affirmative action. Like other schools, Williams admits black students with lower test scores into Williams ahead of Asian or white students. It looks like everyone knows what is going on and that this unfairness generates predictable consequences. One black female student complained a fellow student said he was "was surprised that me and another black student from our city got into Williams even though we weren't athletes." 

Elsewhere, black students complain when others find their names difficult to pronounce or even remember. They also get uptight if someone mentions that their name seems like a white person's name. Among other no-nos included any belief that average IQ is influenced by race, displaying a Confederate battle flag, whistling Dixie, or - as mentioned earlier - the perennial disinterest in dating black women. 

All in all, Being Black at Williams is a very attractive site. The comments are displayed in alternating

fields of purple or gold with alternating gold or purple letters. The comments are short. It is a quick read to go through the whole thing. It has also been a huge success. It currently has over 3,000 followers. 

I know it inspired me. I set up my own version of this called @conservativeatwilliams. I've even set up a similar Google form page where conservatives can leave their own anonymous or semi-anonymous statements at how they were mistreated by the leftist, Marxist extremists on campus.

The Conservative at Williams site has been up long enough that I can report it has already acquired about 67 new followers. We have also received over 300 comments. Truthfully, many of these were spam comments from upset snowflakes concerned that giving a platform to conservatives was the woke equivalent of murder. 

I found it harder than I imagined to sort out what comments to print and whether or not I should use the name provided. It was not at all clear, for example, which comments were entirely insincere or falsely attributed. I have, for the most part, erred on the side of caution. 

Nevertheless, it was humbling and gratifying to read the comments of grateful conservative students and alumni who have taken an interest in this modest Instagram account. It was fun for me to set up and to learn the techniques behind it. If it keeps growing, I'll add regular updates to my schedule. If it becomes too much work, then I'm happy to hand it off to another social/political entrepreneur.
