The lady university lecturer in Riyadh I would be interested in meeting goes by the moniker krustytheclown. It thought at one time it might have been Cleopatra in another guise, but the writing styles do appear a little different.

For those who may be unfamiliar with that American icon:

Herschel Shmoikel Pinkus Yerucham Krustofski, more commonly known as Krusty the Clown, is a fictional character in the animated television series The Simpsons. He is voiced by Dan Castellaneta. He is the long-time clown host of Bart and Lisa's favorite TV show, a combination of kiddie variety television hijinks and cartoons including The Itchy & Scratchy Show. Krusty is often portrayed as a burnt out, addiction-riddled smoker who is made miserable by show business but continues on anyway. He has become one of the most common characters outside of the main Simpson family and has been the focus of several episodes, most of which include Bart.

As a long-time Simpsons fan I'm very familiar with Herschel Krustowsky.

I can't say I've ever seen any posts by any 'krustythe clown', however.

She posts on the Guardian forum. Often she and I are the only ones defending Saudi from a barrage of ill-informed attacks.

She teaches in Riyadh in a women's university. Here's a link to all her posts on the Guardian forums.

You should invite her to join us here. We need more people who have a grasp of reality.

No way of contacting her. And why should she wish to waste time here.

Wasting time here? It can happen if one's life is not balanced. If one spends his/he whole free time roaming around this board, that's a waste of time (IMHO). But if one skims through, finds good/interesting ideas, and responds to them; this can be enriching.
