Yesterday, I posted a smackdown of a Freeper in class by me

My huge smackdown on the Freeper in class yesterday. No holding back. I am proud of myself.

Today, just as I expected, the instructor wants to talk to me about it. In the most weakling way, he shoots me an email saying "we need to discuss some of your postings on the class website." When a professor or instructor tells me that, it's usually an "ass chewing waiting to happen."

Here is my response:

With all due respect. . .If that woman who insulted my patriotism complained about my reaction to her insult, I am not surprised. Modern Day Conservatives talk a big deal, then when confronted, they run and hide.

The woman insulted my love of country and my patriotism is most callous, snide and insulting way. My response was justified and I will not change, apologize for or explain my actions or words to no one.

I thank you for the opportunity to call, but I have run into students like this since I started my bachelor's degree in 1996. In a traditional class, I rip them to pieces in an oratorical sense that I have made some run out of the room crying. I never curse or go ad hominem, unless the ad hominem is to illustrate a point.

I won't be calling because I see no point to it. I got insulted personally by some woman who will be molding minds when she finishes this program (which is scary if she has the "America, love it or leave it" mentality. I feel I have done nothing wrong. . .I defended my love of country while ripping her weak, right wing talk show talking-points laden, unintelligent platitudes apart. If she can't handle that, that is not my fault.

I suggest the student learn to debate more effectively. Or better yet, stop listening to Rush, Sean and Michael Savage and come up with a thought of her own. It may help when she's in front of a classroom.

To finish up, that is how I would have handled a student like her in a traditional classroom as well.

Typical. . .get smacked down, run and complain to the powers to try and censor. "waaaaaah! Instructor. Do something. He insulted me! WAAAAAAHHHH!!!!"
