Jonathan Lopez has filed a lawsuit against a professor and Los Angeles City College over his treatment after giving a speech on the Christian view of marriage in speech class. Lopez alleges that Professor John Matteson had made it clear that he supported same-sex marriage. He claims that Matteson allegedly attacked him verbally, refused let him complete his speech, effectively called him a “fascist bastard” and refused to give him a grade (telling him to “ask God” for his grade).
Matteson is listed as the co-director of Forensics at the Speech Department.
The complaint in Lopez v. Candaele, (CD CA, filed 2/11/2009) was filed with the support of the Alliance Defense Fund Center for Academic Freedom, which litigates such claims. For a copy of the complaint, click here.
Lopez also alleges that Matteson told him that he would make sure that Lopez was expelled and told his entire class after the November election, “If you voted yes on Proposition 8, you are a fascist bastard.”

Mike mentioned in one of his earlier blogs that he had a background in mental health, I have no doubt. He was probably receiving psychotherapy for years, sadly to no avail……..
It’s called “wireless” and “Blackberry”.
I’m not at home right now, genius. I’m at Home Depot waiting for them to load my truck.
You’re not only nuts, you’re a Luddite.
Thanks for continuing to foam at the mouth. I didn’t even have to poke you this time. You’re doing it all on your own.
You are only further proving the point that you need to seek professional psychiatric help, Wayne.
Might I suggest in-patient?
Those who can consult, are consultants, those who can’t,stay at home all week and play on the computer………….
Keep on self-destructing.
It’s what you’re best at.
From what I can tell, it’s the only thing you have the skills to do, Wayne.
Hey Buddha, the closest you will ever get to a courtroom is when you watch reruns of Judge Wapner. Rave on……………
By the way Mike, do you wear diapers or use a bedpan?
Consultant.
Well, that about sums it up.
Those who can’t do, consult.
Mike,
As usual, you are so very right.
Mike( the unemployed one) I have a copy of this diagnostic tool, because I work as a consultant in the health care field. You probably can’t relate to that as you flunked out of law school and have been chained to your computer for years.
Buddha,
Anyone with a copy of the DSM IV who is not a practitioner in the therapeutic community, must be someone in need of therapy badly. The problem is the book is created by the APA for use by professionals interacting, as a sort of shorthand for describing psychological disorders. As a diagnostic tool, when used by untrained people, its’ use can and is dangerous to their mental health.
Wow. Talk about being full of shit.
Buddhaman: The reason I picked on you is beacause you have the biggest mouth and the biggest ego. When you are challenged you accuse others of being insane and having BPD, how convenient. I have met few people with as much malignant self love as you. You refer to yourself as a dragon, one who is feared and respected. I beleive your narcissism is an overcompensation for feelings of inadequacy and you probably have very low self esteem. I challenge you to refer to DSM IV TR, the chapters on Personality Disorders. Anyone must be insane to challenge you, after all you are the DRAGON, do you kinda see my point. Please refer to page 690 Cluster A Personality Disoreders. This coincides with your aobvious narcissistic personality traits. Hopefully that was helpful.

Patty,
Absolutely. His instant hard on for me is a dead give away as is his style. That’s why he got the short brush off instead of the hammering I have administered in the past.
But I do ask you this . . . please remove Bron’s name from that list. He turned out to be a different creature although the way he first entered the forum, eh, I can see where you got that and for a time I thought he was one and the same as well. Yeah, Bron came on too strong initially (and he got burned in the process), but he’s since made amends, plays nice and has even been valuable in moving the conversation in several threads. Bron was just initially a little angry and misguided, too much GOP anti-liberal propaganda in his diet and not enough actual liberals to talk to. All in all, he’s shown himself to be not only sane but not a bad fellow now that he’s taken the red pill. I’d buy him a beer. Besides, I rather like having another conservative besides FFLEO as a regular. It provides more contrast and as a scientist you know the value of contrast.
Someone like this one would sooner eat their own hand before apologizing like Bron did. Their ego impairment wouldn’t allow it most likely. He’s not Wayne like Jon is Wayne (which is indeed literally). That anger is a horse of a different color. This is a nice summary of the symptoms, http://psychcentral.com/lib/2007/symptoms-of-borderline-personality-disorder/ Check it out (if you aren’t already versed) and I think you’ll see I’m not off base. Look at this thread alone and you see many of the behaviors. The diagnosis would need fine tuning based on IRL observation and testing, but the behavior is consistent. In all his incarnations, his BPD shines through like a spotlight. It also explains why he finds ultra-stable personalities like many here to be such a personal threat. He isn’t one. It’s also unlikely that this is his only mental health issue, but this is the one I suspect is in the driver’s seat. Any other neurosis or psychosis is just along for the ride. Wayne-CCM-Jon is dangerously unstable. Likely a danger to himself and others. IRL he would not be a person to turn your back on. He’d be the kind of person you watch like a rabid dog or a ticking bomb.
But he’s not Bron.
PattyC:
please I am not all of those people. only me.
there is surley more than one conservative that comes on this blog. If you want I can sign in as all of them and have a continuous thread for you to read one after the other.
Mespo:
If i signed in under all those names and wrote as different people would that be considered a monolog?
Speaking of change, CCD – ‘Yes, we can…’
Surely, you guys must know, by now, this is Bartlebee/Cromagnum Man/Waynebro/Gaylord Focker/Bron98 a/k/a Jon Abbey at work.. (sigh)
No Bron you do not know me nor I you. We only exist in cyberspace. When the computer is turned off I go back to my wife and my career and my life. This two day exercise for me on the internet blog was a mini-diversion, nothing more. I do wish you well though in all of your future endeavors, whatever they may be.
