The Spitting Professor: A Polish Afterword

A month ago there was an uproar in Sweden over a confrontation on Twitter between a Erik Svensson, a professor of biology at the University of Lund, and Ingrid Carlqvist, editor-in-chief of Dispatch International.

The esteemed professor was upset by Ms. Carlqvist’s political opinions, and became intemperate in his remarks towards her, telling her that he would like to spit in her face. This was too much, even for Swedish socialists, and for a while it seemed Prof. Svensson might have to resign his position, especially when he was summoned for little talking-to by his dean. However, although he was reprimanded, he managed to hold on to his job.

The incident prompted PJ, a reader in Poland, to write to the Spitting Professor. He has forwarded us their exchange of emails:

I read the first post on Erik Svensson at GoV and I wrote him immediately in my typical (and deliberate) emotional way:

Mr Svensson, you are absolutely, totally disgusting, maybe you consider yourself a humanist, but you are just an idiot.

What you say about Islam only reveals you vast ignorance.

This is the most totalitarian system in history of mankind, and you defend it. It is like defending nazism.

People like Ingrid Carlqvist are heroes, people like you are dwarfs.
Sweden is drowning and the reason is “intellectuals” like you.

Shame on you — and of course I spit in your face.

He answered me the same day:

Dear PJ,

Who on Earth are you – and why should I for a single consider any of the complete nonsense you are writing to my work e-mail?

I have never heard of you and I am completely uninterested in discussing anything with you — a foreign citizen who does not even live in my country and whom I have nothing in common.

I find it remarkable that you even contacted me at all.

Creep.

Ha ha, Dear Erik, this is really funny.

We all have something in common with other human beings… And we live in a global village.

You did something nasty, I heard about it – and reacted.

And I know Sweden very well, I have family there and worked in Stockholm several times.

Sweden will fall into abyss in a few years, if you do not change your politicians who support unlimited immigration from Muslim countries.

Police are already unable to control aggression (riots in Stockholm, no-go areas in Malmoe)

I repeat: people like Ingrid Carlqvist and Lars Hedegaard are brave humans who fight for truth, freedom and common sense.

And people like you are just so-called “useful idiots”, demolishing our Western values of democracy, equality of sexes, lay public space etc. etc…

It is a pity that such people have any influence on the minds of young students…

Islam is totalitarian system, no better than communism or fascism. Islam is spiritual Mordor. Whoever appeases it, is a traitor to humanity.

best wishes —
(and read the Koran, then start thinking).

  1. Babs —

    I chose to omit his email address, his phone number, etc.

    Despite my distaste for his behavior, I don’t want him to face a barrage of catcalls from people who happen upon his details here. Anyone who is interested can discover the relevant info the same way PJ did.

  2. They don’t know how to argue the point. It’s as if the professors cannot see it all happening.

    • Something they all have in common – they are not prepared to defend their case!

      • Recall the recent document on “extremism” made available @ GoV – those are some of the characteristics of an “extremist”.

  3. This person clearly has his head stuck into a most inappropriate part of his anatomy and, with the best will in the world, I can’t see him getting much of a world view from up there.

  4. Well, a spitting Professor of EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY is not such a shocking species to discover. Spitting is widely observed in the animal kingdom as a defensive reaction. The camels – the ideal beauty for Arabs, the Professor surely adores them – may spit up to half litre of saliva at someone they dislike. Sea cucumbers would squirt some liquid, again spitting of sorts. And needless to mention the spitting cobra – that’s I believe the best epitome for M-word propagandists.
    So evolutionust Svensson is returning to the origins (as he unerstands them).

  5. Anyone who does not yet realise the true nature of islam by now is either lazy or stupid.

  6. PJ missed a golden opportunity to actually make the professor think. His response, that he was not answerable to another human being because they reside in another country which, apparently, means that they can have nothing, literally nothing, in common is pure racism. How did he miss that open goal?

  7. So – it turns out the “professor” is not so apologetic, after all… but this exchange is also perhaps also illustrative of the effects of the large Polish emigre population in Europe – many residing in multi-kulti ghettoes in Britain, Germany, Holland or Sweden… they are then able to relay their experiences to friends and family members, who are then more aware of what “cultural enrichment” looks like in practice. Could this, coupled with a relatively low level of political correctness and “cultural sensitivity” in Eastern Europe, prove to be a potent mixture in the future?

    • Dear Infidel, I hope you don’t expect us to flock to the West in even greater numbers. It could be counterproductive.

      Although I wouldn’t mind, if certain – warlike – groups found a “cosy” home abroad and it seems that quite a few of these already did 😀

  8. Svensson: “Who on Earth are you?” A typical response from an Illuminated Elite, surprised and offended that a mere mortal wold deign to intrude into his sacred space.

    The fact remains that in public, he has broadcast the fact that he is an ignoramus. It should be no surprise that one of that public recognizes this and calls it to his attention.
