I am starting to wonder if some professors in climate who are now regularly harassing me in absolutely over-the-line & nutso ways have serious drinking or mental health issues
Really strange behaviors
I can take the politics, name calling and anger - Fine
But repeatedly lying about me and making up stuff is way over the line
Its one thing when randos do it, but professors are held to a much higher standard
For now I'm not doing anything more than just blocking the offenders and hoping they get the help they need 🙏
And if you don't want me speculating on your drinking habits or state of mind -- easy fix, just stop harassing me like a lunatic. Find another hobby, get therapy, or whatever.

Yrs ago I received an anonymous threat serious enough I went to my campus police
Turned out it was a prof across the country angry about climate
He was contacted, apologized, said it was a misunderstanding (& still harasses me)
So yes, I take threats seriously
