Kurt is on the fucking warpath. He's also starting to reach Brianna Wu-levels of Twitter addiction. It's getting hard to keep up.

Jim was right, the Kurt Curve is a real thing and he's getting exponentially crazier as time goes on. At this rate he may even write a 45-part Twitter rant on why the moon landing was totally faked.

I’m actually starting to worry that Kurt’s infamous Epilepsy is actually a symptom of something more serious and degenerative. The escalating levels of displayed insanity, paranoia, aggressiveness, etc. to quote from a really bad Arnold Schwarzenegger’s movie “maybe you have a tumor!”
 
Ben Shapiro posted a email he just got from Kurt

Alright, I've read through these emails more thoroughly and I have a few comments:
  • If Kurt actually did consult a psychiatrist, then it's very unprofessional of them to attempt to diagnose a person they haven't even spoken to. Or I guess it's possible that the psychiatrist said something like "This may be what's going on, but I can't say for sure unless I actually speak to him" and Kurt passed his opinion along as fact.
  • Kurt was apparently so disturbed by Ben Shapiro's actions on Twitter that he consulted a conservative rabbi in an attempt to understand his actions. What the fuck, does Kurt have a repertoire of professionals that he consults whenever someone hurts his feelings on Twitter? I love how Kurt's so obviously trying the "appeal to authority" tactic to get Ben to do what he wants. As if Ben gives a shit if some rabbi in Texas wants him to atone for his Twitter sins.
  • "And don't forward this to Kyle. He does not need to know what a psychiatrist is saying about him. You've hurt him enough." Aka "I probably went over a line by having a psychiatrist psychoanalyze a kid he's never met before and make assumptions about the kid's mental state, but I'm going to pretend like you're the bad one if you tell the kid I've been talking shit about him behind his back."
  • In what way would Ben Shapiro be responsible for the actions of his followers, especially if he condemns those actions like he just did? Also, for fuck's sake, Kurt, install a fucking gif blocker or use Twitter's built-in one if you're so concerned about having an epileptic fit. If you've already done those things, then you're not in any danger, are you?
 
I have to wonder why Kurt keeps trying to intimidate people with emails behind the scenes, considering that every time he's tried in recent memory the receiver has published the emails on twitter and told him to fuck off. Maybe Kurt really is unable to comprehend that the internet is a different beast, and is treating all of these situations like he has some kind of leverage like he might have had when he had a real job.

Seriously, he keeps sending emails to people being like "THIS IS TOP SECRET, DO NOT PUBLICLY TALK ABOUT HOW I'M TRYING TO INTIMIDATE YOU" and then acts surprised when people immediately post his bullshit on Twitter.

Kurt really does keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. Even the dumbest of invertebrates will generally stop doing something if it hurts them. Kurt is basically repeatedly putting his hand on a hot stove and acting shocked when it invariably burns him, only to put his hand back on the stove a few days later.
 
Jesus, Kurt. You’re so full of shit, I could smell it coming from the email.

Serious question. Sine Kurt lies so much, does he have to tell his wife and kids he hates them every night? I don’t think he’s said an honest word sine the child porn case.

That's assuming his wife or kids still speak to him.
If my dad was Kurt, I'd either have disowned him or died from shame.

Well his books are full of shit since he claimed he read secret undisclosed files that only the FBI had. Even when he tries to tell the truth he ends up lying because he wants the spotlight.

Kurt didn’t consult a psychiatrist. There is a real hard, Literally on the books rule in psychiatry called the Goldwater Rule. A Psychiatrist absolutely cannot give an evaluation or professional opinion on a subject they have not met. Especially not for purposes of Journalism. Doing so can swiftly lead to loss of license, it’s that serious of a professional violation. It stems back from the election where Barry Goldwater challenged Lyndon Johnson. The Washington Post sent a survey to thousands of psychiatrists asking if Goldwater was crazy. Only about 3% responded, but of that 3% about 80% of those who answered said yes Goldwater was certifiable. Without ever meeting, examining or in any way interacting with him. The Post spun this to 80% Of psychiatrists think Goldwater is crazy, and Barry lost the election. Goldwater then sued everyone involved and won big time. It was felt to have deeply damaged the psychiatric profession, thus an absolute hard Rule was created. No opinions on unexamined people. Especially no opinions involving the media and politics! No exceptions! There is currently a Harvard Psychiatry professor facing the standards board for pulling the same stunt regarding Trump.

So yeah, no psychiatrist would have talked to Kurt about this. Would you risk your professional license to help Eichenwald Attack a high school shooting survivor? And once again Eichenwald is a fully trained and educated journalist with decades of experience. He pretty much has a professional obligation to know about the Goldwater Rule for Psychiatrists and Psychologists. It’s well covered in journalism schools.
 
He really is pulling from the Brianna Wu twitter playbook:

  • Always be the best/most knowledgeable/FIRST at everything, but in reality be terrible at it
  • Have a plethora of unnamed head mates that prove your point
  • Double down when proven wrong
  • Bait trolls into attacking you, and cry you’re being harassed

At this point I'd say it's the Leftest playbook. You see people doing that before Brianna did it. Only thing new about it was the trolling part he started doing it.



So he was sacked by both all three of his jobs. lol

The final would have been constructed to avoid exactly what Ben did. With real reporting: You start by asking questions, on the assumption that professionals wont publicize things that can harm people. I once dropped a 3 month investigation because there was no way to avoid harm.

Gee Kurt, is propping up a child porn site financially not harm?

:thinking:

I have a screenshot but it's ugly and uncropped because I'm in my phone

He probably just asked his wife who wouldn't have a clue about psychology.
