First, why does the brand of beer they're drinking MATTER? Second, "proTECTING the FLOOR?" haha are you kidding me? as if that was their sole aim when choosing to destroy the journals. "oh, we just needed something to protect the floor!" so innocent. you use that kind of wording and anything sounds dumb. the language in the DTH's article about it still doesn't cease to amaze me.

No doubt the thieves will get off scot free, but it's worth a shot. File this whole episode under "what if conservatives had done it to liberals." They'd be called brownshirts -- and rightly so. Yet if the perps are leftists and the victims are conservative, the administration yawns and puts a little rebuke in perps' files. I wish the complainants best wishes in the Honor Court.

Your article neglected to mention that this is the same Dominic Powell who published an article critical of Youth for Western Civilization without disclosing the fact that he was a "known member of the UNC Protester's Defense Committee, along with Haley Koch" He also published an article critical of me in the News and Observer. Again, he failed to tell the News and Observer about his connection to Haley Koch and the protesters. The News and Observer published a retraction on October 9 saying "Guest writer Domenic Powell's Faceoff column on Page IB on Monday stated erroneously that retired UNC Chapel Hill Professor Elliot Cramer had called Powell personally a ''coward" and a"fascist;" The DTH has yet to explain why it published an article by a biased columnist and refused to publish a response.

The DTH has yet to explain why it published an article by a biased columnist and refused to publish a response. Is he STILL a columnist for the DTH?

How come I can't get a single lousy comment past the moderation queue at the CRD blog?? And this riograndevalleygirl just gets to post away, like she's somebody's mom or something. Jeez. Hey.

Moreover, your impression of our publication is boring is irrelevant, and that you argued this is childishly arrogant. Enough people find our publication worth reading to empty our most popular drop sites, and your individual opinion cannot change that. Our reaction is entirely reasonable in the eyes of most people, as indicated most clearly by the fact that the DTH saw it worth covering immediately, and you know it. If our magazine was more agreeable to your politics you would be making a different point. Your hypocrisy is transparent.
