Let’s be real the ASUO is a joke and should be abolished (and while I haven’t actually thought out this opinion, I’m fairly sure it’s genius).

True enough Ted. At least like Don Quixote I can say my short comings are simply quixotic,not mean spirited.

Scarlett says hi.

Hey Neil, always good to hear from you buddy. Take it from me though, unless you are physically present to threaten people with violence, the ASUO tends to kinda slip through the fingers. Take my advice and let Arkan take a turn playing Don Quixote for a while.

Oh, and give Scarlett a pinch on the ass for me!

Sorry I should have edited it. Haha. I was just excited for the first ever OC post from Belgium.

Upon further review I realized that that response was full of typos. Its almost 5am here and I haven’t been to bed yet. Plus I am on a french keyboard.

Thanks for that Patrick, I appreciate the sentiment. I haven’t been that up to date on why Steven resigned/may resign, but he was always someone I considered to be fair and level headed, even when we disagreed. And that really goes to the heart of the issue, no one says we should all agree or that we should never have arguments. I just simply ask for a little mutual respect and a sense that what a person is saying has some grounding in the realities of logic. Hell, I’m a dreamer what can I say.

Also I should apologize for the quality of the writing in this post. It was hastily written and I didn’t expect it to be a full section in its self (I had originally posted it as a comment to an earlier article). Again forgive the typos are poor choice of words and syntax. Notably in the first paragraph and the over use of the preposition “for” in the Dan Feldman section. Comme l’on dit en Belqiue, je m’excuse.

Oh Neil. I kind of wish you were around for PFC this year. Who thought I’d be saying that? You’d also be really proud of Steven.

My only concern about “viewpoint neutrality” is when comments are made like this group deserves money for a reason other than that they support the University physically and culturally.
