Comments on: THE SUMMER OF FREE SPEECH http://www.oregoncommentator.com/2006/08/24/the-summer-of-free-speech/ Free Minds, Free Markets, Free Booze Sat, 11 Oct 2008 08:35:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: niedermeyer http://www.oregoncommentator.com/2006/08/24/the-summer-of-free-speech/#comment-40648 niedermeyer Sat, 16 Sep 2006 17:47:09 +0000 http://www.oregoncommentator.com/2006/08/24/the-summer-of-free-speech/#comment-40648 Dallas: There was a serious push to make you man of the year... probably would have been a more popular choice among certain alums. I agree you were not the quintessential senator, but you were one of the highest profile senators, and for reasons that I hope you might be less than completely proud of. Let's just say you got off easy. Hmm... Goward good, Commentator bad? Smells like another Brown flip-flop to me. All the same, I kinda agree. Goward is a good guy, and we definately suck balls. Since you're the expert on censoring student publications, maybe you could just do us all a favor and get us defunded. We could sure use the publicity! Love, Ted Dallas:

How come I symbolize last years senate? I was nearly always the minority opinion...an opinion that often times stood congruent with your ideals. I can take the abuse about O 'reilly, but to make me out as the quintessential ASUO senator is downright irresponsible. Plus it was a terrible picture...Let me send you one next time. Also the whole blogging portion made me look like the anit-Goward. Im not the anti-Goward...I love Goward...Anyway you guys suck major balls, I hope someone defunds you.

It only took six years, and me finally moving out of Eugene, but hey - I made it into the Commentator! Of course, you could spell my name right... ;-) Glad to see some things don't change though.

Anyway, I hope you liked your Professor Of The Year award... I gotta say darlin', it's tough making fun of you. I try to rip in, but it's so easy it just makes me sad. *sigh* Well, enjoy the last of your free publicity... we're pretty much over you. Moving on to more relevant, less predictable pastures. But, y'know, keep it real, stay off the meds and just try to enjoy unemployment... it can be such a blessing. Love, Ted Aw deb, I don’t get a shout out?

Such emotional responses clearly show how much y'all care, and they help Ted and I make changes for the better, so keep up the dialogue and send any suggestions to ocomment. I've made quite a few changes this morning, so feel free to take another look if you like, but in summary: 1. Congrats Tyler -- you have been added to the "editors emeriti", and we added Dustin as well to contribs. 2. We're down to one hippie font -- and you can actually read it. Hooray! Tim, I also noticed that in some places there are way too many fonts used, and I made some changes. Also, I think you'll like the secret message. 3. Melissa -- sorry to offend. Hell, some of us don't even know you, and shouldn't have made a joke like that without knowing how you would take it. I changed the byline -- just please remember that it was a joke in bad taste, and we joke because we care. And we have terrible taste. 4. I know, it's amazing, but I actually spell checked the damn thing. More changes are in the works -- Bryan is working his magic this weekend, and we will be sending her off to the printer on monday. Thanks again, and keep picking her apart! All -

I’ve made quite a few changes this morning, so feel free to take another look if you like, but in summary:

1. Congrats Tyler — you have been added to the “editors emeriti”, and we added Dustin as well to contribs.
2. We’re down to one hippie font — and you can actually read it. Hooray! Tim, I also noticed that in some places there are way too many fonts used, and I made some changes. Also, I think you’ll like the secret message.
3. Melissa — sorry to offend. Hell, some of us don’t even know you, and shouldn’t have made a joke like that without knowing how you would take it. I changed the byline — just please remember that it was a joke in bad taste, and we joke because we care. And we have terrible taste.
4. I know, it’s amazing, but I actually spell checked the damn thing.

More changes are in the works — Bryan is working his magic this weekend, and we will be sending her off to the printer on monday.

Thanks again, and keep picking her apart!
