Mr. J, a Former Professor Series – Entry 63: Tell Me You’re a Pathetic Pig Without Telling Me You’re a Pathetic Pig
How Much Is Dignity? Apparently, One Pair of Shoes
In the end, all he offered was a single generic “I’m sorry for the terrible mistakes I made,” followed by a pair of cheap shoes and a vague poem.
Not a single mention of the sexualized writing.
Not a single mention of the threats, the doxxing, or the attempts at emotional blackmail.
Not a single acknowledgement of the documented harm — both public and private.

He reduced months of psychological terror, racialized insults, and coercive threats into a small DHL package and a throwaway apology.
It is almost poetic in its patheticness. A man who believed he could assign a monetary value to my pain — and who somehow thought a pair of boots could “honor” a birthday after erasing my autonomy.
He did not fail because he was cruel. He failed because he was so cheap, so unimaginative, so unable to comprehend the gravity of his own actions.
At the end of it all, his “apology” is not an act of accountability. It is yet another performance, staged for himself alone.
You cannot buy dignity with footwear.
You cannot erase violence with a birthday card.
You cannot mask cowardice behind a single vague “sorry.”
And so, he stands exposed — not as a tragic poet or a misunderstood genius, but as a deeply mediocre, pathetic pig.
Pathetic Pig

You might think calling you a pig would offend your farmer pride — but don’t be mistaken. This isn’t about the honest work of raising livestock; this is about your moral filth.
A real pig rolls in mud without pretending to be pure. A real pig does not send manipulative emails in the middle of the night, nor does it write cowardly poems to mask its cowardice as tragedy.
You, however, are not even that honest. You are a pathetic pig — not because you come from a farm, but because you carry the stench of self-pity, manipulation, and moral cowardice wherever you go.
A pig in a pen is dignified. You, on the other hand, are a pig in a suit — squealing for pity, hiding behind “fiction,” and thinking a cheap pair of shoes can buy back dignity.
No, Johnston. You were not outclassed by the world. You outclassed yourself — straight into irrelevance.

Note on Naming:
The subject of these verses is identified by name due to the severity of the public threats made during that period.
Naming is not intended to humiliate, but to preserve the integrity of the record and reflect the seriousness of the documented behavior.
While the individual has since responded publicly, the response has not addressed the core evidence. In such cases, visibility remains necessary. Selective rebuttal is not accountability.
