Jeff Fecke

Hello E___,

I just noticed your comment--and wanted to reply.   I am life-banned at the absurdly-named moderateleft.com--hence this email.

In January Jeff Fecke issued his idiotic attack on me.  (Fecke provided no evidence and didn't allow me to respond on his site.)

Jeff Fecke didn't simply ban me from his comments section: He blocked my IP address, making it quite difficult for me to even access his website.  (Disgracefully, Fecke expunged the comments for which he was banning me.)

I consider Fecke's conduct highly uncivil and bizarre; Fecke has since admitted to his history of grave psychiatric imbalance.

My interaction with Fecke started after another blogger--Prof. Jessica Pieklo--publicly labeled me a misogynist.  (Prof. Pieklo also subsequently acknowledged her travails with profound mental illness.)

Prof. Pieklo banned me from her comments section and--illustrating her utter contempt for civil liberties--enlisted the Chanhassen police in resolving our ideological and stylistic disagreement.  Pieklo further goaded local feminist bloggers into blacklisting me.

I learned that Jeff Fecke considers himself an adept arbiter of the feminist/misogynist divide, so I tried to get him to adjudicate my disagreement with Jessica Pieklo--the latter having broken off communication, 'playing the fainting lily' as the unenlightened may have once said.

In response, Fecke simply jumped on Pieklo's bandwagon--calling me a misogynist, with no evidence.

Wishing you well,

Gavin Sullivan
