Content Notes
OberlinChaos.com is supported by its contributors rather than by advertising. This makes the presentation faster and more reliable and independent.
OberlinChaos.com contains no embedded ads, cookies, or spyware. External sites such as Oberlin College that are linked to by OberlinChaos.com may or may not contain ads, cookies, or spyware.
Individual posts are periodically updated to correct minor spelling or punctuation errors, make content refinements, or add/remove post content. Content is occasionally duplicated between posts for easier reading.
Many posts contain dated material and therefore could not anticipate all future developments. Most notably, some material did not anticipate the seriousness of the psychological problems that President Trump displayed on Jan. 6, 2021.
Technical Notes
OberlinChaos.com is hosted on an environmentally-friendly server
OberlinChaos.com is a WordPress website built and maintained using Windows 10, Linux, and Android. WP has design flaws that often cause an author to spend more time on website engineering issues than on content generation and presentation. WP has over 60,000 addon components (plugins) that give WordPress powerful flexibility despite the core software being a design abortion of the first magnitude. JD says this because WordPress’s development environment is seriously lacking in good variable typing and scoping — a deficiency which allows WP to run a bit faster, but at the expense of opening doors for contributing programmers to unintentionally mess each other up.
WP’s extensive use of absolute links where good design calls for relative links makes some maintenance operations exceedingly messy.
/s/ JD Nobody, OC ’61.

The purpose of this blog is to tell the other side of the Gibson’s Bakery, OSCA, the Kosher-Halal Co-op, and UAW stories to Oberlin Alumni lest they believe the College’s heavily redacted and whitewashed version of events. Please tell your fellow Obies how our college has damaged its reputation, the worth of our degrees, the Gibsons, the college’s union workers, K-H, and the OSCA Co-op tradition. No pandemic, sleazy PR, or conflating of libel and slander with free speech can divert attention from the BOT’s negligence in these matters. Speak up and insist that the BOT arrest its compulsive, neo-Puritan righteousness, which has already eradicated either THOUSANDS of $36,000 scholarships or 225 Steinway concert grand pianos — just to wreck a tiny bakery, a cooperating union, K-H, and the OSCA Student Co-op!
