Levicoff Snuffs It

[Don Dresden]

I always imagined Levijerkoff looked more like this:


Steve Levicoff
Ardeat in gehennam

Had to laugh at Shoeless Rich "Mini Me" Douglas and his attempt at a generous and thoughtful remembrance of the asshole Dr. Evilcoff:

He starts off with this:

He was friendly and kind.

I never met him. My feelings about his online behavior are clear. John Bear said he met Steve once and found him, in person, to be very much as Johnathan describes him. I accept that, so I've never understood his lack of self-awareness.

Then three days later he feels compelled to chime in with this:

I don't want to rip the guy, and he was certainly a major contributor to the discussions, but Steve could be unrealistically antagonistic, too.

His "I have an RA doctorate and you don't" attitude was really troubling at times. Lording over people simply because he had a PhD from Union--a school constantly in trouble with various forces--was unseemly. Frankly, he was a nightmare to a lot of people, me included. He exaggerated things, ignored facts counter to his opinions, and attacked people relentlessly--especially those new to the board. If they said something naive, he attacked like a white blood cell after an infection. Some people seemed to enjoy this. I did not.

Steve fought a lot of good fights. But he fought a lot of bad ones, too. With an utter lack of manners and respect. It's simple to treat every issue as binary, but true judgment often lies somewhere in between. Steve never had much patience for subtlety and nuance. Attack dogs never do.

I'm sorry he's gone. But I'm also sorry for all the opportunities that someone as intelligent and talented as Steve should not have missed. Perhaps I failed him by opposing him instead of finding common ground. I don't know. But I wish he'd lived much longer, for he seemed to enjoy it so.

Had to laugh."I don't want to rip the guy, but..." then proceeds to rip the guy.

Yeah Richie, perhaps you failed him by not offering to suck his dick. You aren't any sorrier than anybody who read the DL boards for the past twenty years or so is sorry. The guy was a suppurating, malignant pustule on the ass of society. I'm sure if he was "friendly and kind" to anybody it was because he wanted to queer off with them.

And what's all this about "lording over people" because he had a shit PhD from Union? You mean exactly like you do? Well, it's nice of you to admit the obvious, it really was academic fecal matter. You sure showed him when you got that fancy limey D.Soc.Sci.--the one that evaluated as masters equivalent. Oops. At least Dr. Evilcoff knew to quit while he was ahead.

The irony is that if Dr. Evilcoff hadn't been running around bragging how a dyslexic fagtard hoodwinked TESC, Vermont College, and Union into giving him degrees for little or no effort people probably wouldn't have caught on to what trash they were dealing. Your Union "doctorate" might actually have some credibility if people didn't know that an empty set like Dr. Evilcoff was flashing one of their diplomas and braying about how easily he conned them out of it.
