Whether he's making bug poison or telling his boss that he had fag sex on his desk, it really doesn't matter. His professional life, none of us are really qualified to judge, and it doesn't influence what he is in the fandom. The most hilarious part of his education though is just the fact he likes to use his name to give an air of authority to his kink. As though a Ph.D. in electron juggling gives him a subsidiary Ph.D. in psychology.
He used to be pretty open about this, namely in the
FAQ of the now debunk Megamorphics APA, where his full name and title is used just to try and promote the word he invented to 'standardize' what got his rocks off. It's mildly dishonest, but at least his motive wasn't completely self absorbed. Until at least, the Lavadomefive FAQ came about where not only does he use the Ph.D. trick with another name
(hur hur he's a pharoah, hur) but also he
used himself as a very un-psychological case study. That's a good deal more self-absorbed.
Then of course their is his horrid taste in bedfellows. I'm sorry, but I have to question the sanity, not only the judgment of anyone who would repeatedly bed the pig bottom gryphon, yet alone Albee* and all the barely legals he sneaks out of room parties with promises of backrubs. Then there's the fact he still regularly
roleplays MUCKfucks with people who are not only 'mated' but in the case of a certain cougar, even married. Then you can throw in the whole mess of art he comissions which is basically the same pose and actions of his wolf self, over and over again. I think it's the most consistant comissions/fanart collection in the entire fandom. Spanning decades with zero innovation. Even ZigZag spices it up a bit more often than that.
If it were just the self-agrandizing, and the sex, then nobody would give a shit, really. No, ontop of that you have to throw in the megalomania. He quite literally has assumed some kind of 'helmsman' role in the fandom. He's stagnated not only what his con is, but the entire development process just because he's an old curmudgeon who preferred the days when he had to photocopy Ken Sample comics at work on his lunch break and the only place to get your fill of giant dog dong was Bennie's network. He's tried to even make the fandom his little niche, loading the AC staff with his megadick pals and even promoting other 'celebs' with his support (like say, 2 or Kuntztown). In this way, it's easy to view him in much the same light as Merlino, only with the good ol' boys mentality instead of the everything goes Californian bi-desperate one. The fact is though, the fandom is younger, fresher and bigger than he can handle now. Ironically, it's a bit like him trying to control a figurative giant to sate his fancy.
If you talk to people who
knew him, I mean, knew him from a time when he actually had hair, he used to be a pretty decent guy. You get the general idea that sometime around his bestowment of concommandant, he went from being a normal guy with a 'stage persona' he used when describing something at Duckcon to having that persona as his own personality. This led to him to have a bit of a Monroe Doctrine concerning the fandom. It was his backyard, and any threat to it, real or imagined, he took impossibly personally. Add in pseudo-adoring fans and yeah, he's a major headcase. The kind who will call for a moment of silence every June 6th to honor the fallen, and uses the time to write about
Nazi herm giants who crush allied soldiers under their ballsac. The kind who applies the same duality and self-righteous attitude to ever minor little thing that goes on in the fandom.
And that is why your beloved Doctor is seen as a huge douchebag to some people.
*Unsubstantiated rumor, but a rumor from someone I trust nonetheless. I just can't image the afterglow talk. Sam: "That was pretty good." Tim: "Yep. You can thank me, Timothy Albee, for the condom. Also, me, Timothy Albee, for the lube. Also for that little 'thing' you liked on your lower back... Let's see now, what else did I do?"
