Here, word for word, is my actual statement to Inside Higher Ed, sent by email as a follow-up moviedatabase to a phone call of unmodified support moviedatabase for the students. I had just been informed of the content of the comments, and I wrote: “The first two crude comments (’midget porn’ and ‘eaten out by a monkey’) are vulgar, hyperbolic expressions of dislike for a class, and while subject to moral opprobrium by any and all who wish, certainly are mild criticisms compared, say, to calling a teacher (outside of class) a ‘mother-fucking racist moviedatabase pig,’ which professors have been called—-indeed, they have been called much worse. The reference to ‘your yeast infection,’ however, levels a crude and personal accusation of possessing an infectious disease, which, though meant hyperbolically, crosses a different line.
