You have to laugh when anonymous cowards on the internet slime people and then run and hide, don’t you? People are so very brave when they can cower behind their monitor screens. Here’s the newest case here on Dean’s World:
A testicle-less cultist who will only reveal himself as “BSE” created this thinly-disguised death threat against Dean’s World contributor Celia Farber. I recently linked it, not particularly prominently but in the comments to another thread, to illustrate just how gross and venal some people can be. Practically within minutes, the perp showed up in the thread. Anonymously of course, but tracing him makes it look likely that he is who he says he is. The dispatch operation over at “AIDS Truth” is obviously very efficient.
What a laugh. Of course “he” is too cowardly to sign his fingerpaints or answer any questions. Said kindergarten-level work has, though, helped expose just how unprofessional, and, really, deep down afraid certain so-called “researchers” are when journalists dare write about scientists and other people they don’t like. Case in point, John P. Moore and Jeanne Bergman, AIDS “scientists,” who used this creepy art to illustrate a hateful screed directed at Celia (see the bottom of this page with the death-cultist’s fingerpaints).
This entire unprofessional temper tantrum was approvingly linked by this group, of which the authors are prominent members. (“This IS a war, there ARE no rules, and we WILL crush you, one at a time, completely and utterly,” says John P. Moore, distinguished scientist.) If the scientific community in general wants to know how the most embarrassing members of their profession behave, they need look no further than these pompous, well-funded clowns.
Let me be clear: this cowardly, juvenile, threatening behavior is of course free expression. I’d die to defend these cretins’ right to publish whatever they want. This disgusting little wanker and the people who associate themselves with him can masturbate onto paper and call it art all they want. I still call it dishonorable cowardice because this venal little thug won’t sign his gross fingerpaints, won’t answer questions, and because these people pretty clearly endorse someone anonymously terrorizing women and then running away and hiding. What’s next from them, a bullet to the neck of any journalist they don’t like? A blackjack to the base of the skull to a reporter who looks at them funny? (Again, according to them, “[t]his IS a war, there ARE no rules, and we WILL crush you, one at a time, completely and utterly…”)
In response to this juvenile, crayon-fisted garbage, I now issue a Dean’s World challenge:
Let’s Kill Dean!
The challenge: Who can do better than this talent-less misogynist hack? Here’s a photo you can work with:

(Click the image to get the full-size version. I know, I know, I’m hideous, just work with me here.)
To kick things off, I’ve done a few of my own that are hackish, amateurish, and much better than the cowardly “BSE” did of Celia if you ask me:
This is the real Dean for the world to see! Mothers, hide your children! Men, hide your sheep!
Dean's well-deserved punishment!
I know some of you guys can do even better. I’d like to see Dean shot, stabbed, hung, or otherwise mutilated. Special prize for the most creative effort: a front-page post on whatever you want, written by yours truly, and an autographed copy with personalized inscription of Methuselah’s Daughter (on sale now at a summer discount!). If you have a submission just leave me a comment here and I’ll email you how to get it to me, and I’ll put your submission on the front page. Regular commenters are free to argue which ones they like best, with the final judge being Celia. Contest ends in two weeks.
Maybe even BSE will make one. I’d consider it a high honor to be in the company of his victims.
I can’t wait. Come on people, let’s Kill Dean!
