TeacherReviews.com Forced Offline

MrCawfee writes "Dylan Greene's site Teacher Reviews which allows students to post reviews of their professors. The site was taken down because a professor complained about comments made against him, and threatened to sue. Here is an exerpt from his blog: 'Yesterday and tonight I talked with a professor who was extremely upset with what written about him on TeacherReviews. He had several inappropriate reviews that made unfounded accusations and inappropriate untruthful remarks such as calling him "Bipolar Paranoid Schitzophrenic."' You can read his blog here."

Your that professor aren't you?

Annonymous Coward, negative infinity - 2004.

[LostCluster]

We gather here today to mourn the loss of Anonymous Coward. Anon been a great writer in the history of The United States, with The Federalist Papers and Primary Colors being two of his greatest works.

When the Internet came into being, Anon's greatest hour was realized. Many webboards at first welcomed posting for Anon with open arms, and Anon was even allowed to send e-mail freely. But, Anon's greatest foes, the lawyers would never let him sleep easy. Still, he fought on, trying to find what few places would still accept him, such as Slashdot.

But, when he came down with those horrible diseases of libel and slander, the doctors, er, lawyers, just weren't able to save him. Try the best they could, the logging of IP addresses just wasn't able to keep him alive. He gave a brave strugle, and for that we remember him. Dispite his ability to show his face, or give any contact info, you could always trust him to be at any political rally of any kind, and that he'd always be willing to fight the system.

His work in his name will be continued on Slashdot by his family, even though those who attempt to use their services should be aware that IP addresses are now logged and cookies are now fed on unsuspecting user in a way that the Anon we know and love never would tolerate.

Anon, we miss you.

Here's a real experience with paranoia for you

From my advogato diary:

• Trip to the Emergency Room

In summary, sometimes I think the cops are after me, because flashes of light look to me like the lights on a police car.

But you know, I'm still a productive member of society and all.

well thank you. I appreciate it

I've been thinking for quite some time of writing a book.

email me if you want to talk about it some more.
