So this is a continuation of my last post. I have decided that the reason for the drama is actually about two misunderstandings. The overall concept of using a blog as a journal can be taken to a level that was unintended and cause this break down in communication.

Now since that is cleared up I  would like to offer my commentary on the fact. Starting with the reasons for the mess. First of all using a blog as a place to vent can be a good thing but you have to be careful. Often people will read them so you need to know your audience, obviously Student X failed to notice his audience, and around that particular subject one must be very careful. As to his points about the college itself, I would like to point out that it is his opinion of the school and not an indictment sent down by every guy who attends there.

As for the response to his post I would like to say that Student Y's attempt at either one) was actually offended by the post or two) just trying to troll (which I doubt is the case) may have had some valid arguments to the fact that men shouldn't be on the campus. It is after all a women's college.
Now I'm sure you have all either read or know about the blog so I wont express my thoughts on that any more. What I would like to do now is to voice my opinion about the matter.

Here it goes...

First of all I have to say that the quibbling over a blog post is not only sophomoric but it is also very unnecessary to have a decent conversation. The basic rule of thumb for the Internet is don't be a jerk or trolling if you will(actually trolling is something very different and I may cover that in a future post). How can you let yourself lose that much control over yourself and let out a barrage of response's that quickly after you have read a blog post? It makes no sense to be that petty over the matter.

Secondly I would like to mention topic of having men on campus. I believe that there may be a double standard that is populated by the students. I fell that the administration has enough maturity to handle themselves at a much higher expectations. This double standard I speak of is the idea that men shouldn't be allowed on campus. So do you mean all of the male professors too? What about the security guards? Or how about you get rid of the Graduate program as well! See what I mean? If the student body wants to go around and say that men shouldn't be on campus because it's an all women's college then they can't just look at the idea of students being men...and to that effect just undergraduate men.

And for the traditions I personally wouldn't have gone to them anyway. I don't like to support hazing, which it is, and I for one am glad that I didn't have to go. But for orientation I did have to go to the majority of the activities which was fine until I had an awkward experience at an improve event where they portrayed all men as rapists. That brings me to another point and this may offend people.

FOR A SCHOOL THAT PRIDES ITSELF ON EQUALITY THERE IS AN AWFUL LOT OF DISCRIMINATION GOING ON...just saying.

Now don't get me wrong I loved Sage, I miss my friends there but I did have some issues there. But I didn't go around and post them on the Internet for everyone to see. So that's one strike against the MAAP who wrote the posts. It wasn't all his fault though, because the person who responded should of had the common sense enough to just go ask him to take them down. People really need to learn how to talk to each other like adults.

And that is all I will ever say on the matter...unless of course you want to talk civilly about it.

Until next time...
