Dr. Bernard Carroll, known as the "conscience of psychiatry," contributed to various blogs, including Margaret Soltan's University Diaries, for which he sometimes wrote limericks under the name Adam.
New York Times
George Washington University English professor Margaret Soltan writes a blog called University Diaries, in which she decries the Twilight Zone-ish state our holy land’s institutes of higher ed find themselves in these days.

University Diaries. Hosted by Margaret Soltan, professor of English at George Washington University. Boy is she pissed — mostly about athletics and funding, the usual scandals — but also about distance learning and diploma mills. She likes poems too. And she sings.

Don’t waffle. He didn’t come close. He did suggest that Clinton should be shot.

Total: I am waffling. I’m not sure why. Denial, probably. I’ll get over it.

No great shock. He has been operating out of Fascist playbook from the beginning.

He probably stayed just inside First Amendment protection as read by the Supreme Court in Brandenburg v. Ohio (1960). To be outside of such protection:
———-
“constitutional guarantees of free speech and free press do not permit a State to forbid or proscribe advocacy of the use of force or of law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.”
———–
“Imminent” and “likely” haven’t been fully fleshed out. But at least this should score him an interview with his friends from the J.E. Hoover Bldg. Though come to think about it maybe not. And in any other year, on this or any other planet, it would result in his removal from the nomination and politics. But it seems nothing is disqualifying for today’s core Republicans.
What will Paul Ryan, John McCain and the boys do now. Sometime in the mid-eighties my wife was working for a Democratic Senator. A Republican Senator, thinking he was leaving a committee hearing room, walked into a coat closet and closed the door. It was obvious, even to him, what he had just done. Everyone nearby was laughing. He just stayed there for a few minutes, thinking, I guess, things would improve. I wonder when, if ever, Ryan etc will walk out.

It was a conscious dog whistle, allowing him (im)plausible deniability. Contempt is the only possible response.

Barney: Yes. Contempt.
