The identity riddle is proving to be very hard, so I have a hint. Here is an excerpt from the article “What You Need to Know About People from Group X” that made me exclaim, “But this is ME!”
But no Googling because that’s cheating:
The voice in their heads is louder than every other voice they hear. Others may doubt. Others may criticize. Others may judge and disparage and disapprove.
You don’t care. You see all those opinions for what they are: not right, not wrong, just data. So you sift through that data for the actual nuggets you can use. The rest you ignore.
Why? You may respect the opinions of others but you believe in your ideas, your abilities, your will and perseverance and dedication. You believe in yourself. And that makes you want to live your life your way and not anyone else’s way.
That’s totally me, folks. I decided that I needed to uproot my whole family and move across the ocean because I just needed to do a PhD in a field I knew nothing about. So I did. This is a description of a fanatic, and that’s what I am, a fanatic.
Another article from the same blog advises people to “actively seek out conflict” and engage in aggressive verbal fights with others to promote their own original thinking.

Hint: Clarissa knows at least one member of this community in real life.
It makes sense to me given her blog persona and it really underlines why Clarissa passionately hates Communism in addition to all of the other reasons she’s stated on the blog.

I’m afraid curiosity got hold of me and I Googled. But I won’t reveal the answer. I did really like this sentence in the article, though, and it reminded me of me, “They don’t need to be disciplined because they can’t wait to do all the things that bring them closer to achieving their goals.” That’s me and my writing. I just do it. I don’t need anyone telling me to do it. I’m naturally motivated, and honestly, I think that I identify with this group more than I do most academics.

Perhaps this is what makes me seem different from the other professors (I am constantly told this, I have some other attitude, and it is not just that I have a much wilder side than the average faculty member … it is this). Yet it has not made me anti-Communist, at least not in theory.

– It’s because you haven’t lived in the USSR. 🙂 After a couple forced gynecological exams, a few public chastisements of your sex life at work, and several trips to sort rotten cabbage instead of teaching classes, and I’d seem a Communist-lover by your side. 🙂 🙂
