Not Knowing When To Quit
Posted By Russ Emerson on July 28, 2006 at 3:54 am
Jeff Goldstein and his family are under attack again. Known nutcase Deb Frisch is the presumptive malefactor.
The far fringes of the Left cannot out-argue Jeff on the points, so instead they try to silence him in other ways. One has, for the moment, succeeded… I hope it’s only for the very short term.
Warning: there may be some extremely vile language in some of these links. Deb is not a rational person, and tends to inspire, shall we say, strong feelings in the comments of people who disagree with her.
I did a traceroute based on the IP address Ace posted – see a similar result at DNSstuff.com.
Hop number 14 in the traceroute linked above is at a device called eugn-dsl-gw01-97.eugn.qwest.net, which to those of us in the networking business shows that the destination address connects to a DSL gateway router in Eugene, Oregon. Surprise, surprise… this is the area of the country in which the ex-professor Frisch has said she resides.
Coincidentally, this is the same gateway that Deb was connected to the last time she pulled this crap, immediately before her departure from the University of Arizona. [I helped Jeff with the IP, DNS and other lookups at that time.]
It’s time for Deb Frisch to disappear into the confines of a cell, padded or otherwise, and down the memory hole as well.
Internet verb, indeed.
Update(s) below the fold…
Interestingly, as of 4:30am EDT (hey, I work nights, so sue me) references to professor Deb have disappeared from Technorati, at least for the moment.

Update, 1:50pm: it’s working now.
Update, 2am Saturday: It’s been a busy day at the office (BGP can be such a pain) but allow me to note some of the other folks posting about this dust-up.

Also worth noting: Dr. Demented Deb hasn’t succeeded in driving Jeff away from the ‘net, as the non-dancing armadillo will attest.
Finally (?), my brief thoughts about a lesson to be learned from this episode.
Please, it’s UofA, not ASU. I may not give much of a rat’s ass for my Tempe alma mater, but I’d rather it not be linked to that crazy bitch simply on principle. Let Tucson claim her.
Thanks – it’s been corrected.
Darn you, arizonateach! I was hoping to deflect attention for the sake of my degree’s credibility! ;-)
