"F#@$ YOU REPUBLICANS" - intolerant lefty professor

[CADsortaGUY]

Yeah, and the person who approved it needs to be shit canned. If someone at work approved political troll spam being sent to my work account, I'd want that person replaced with someone with better judgment.

Do you not understand that campus groups are allowed to send these? I believe it's 1 per year per group if approved. Here's a clue for the old hag and libs who hate Republicans - just delete the email.

Just another Republican attack on educators. I guess Republicans know that an educated populace is their worst enemy.

lol, keep trying.

1. this isn't an attack on educators

2. she's not an educator - do you see the subjects she teaches? Do people really pay for "classes" like that? sheesh

 

[Infohawk]

I don't it was or not but putting cross hairs over someone's voting district or the catch-phrase "don't retreat, reload" directly imply violences and has absolutely no place in civilized society.

The words "Fuck you" are completely different.

I don't want to rehash the Palin argument but suffice it to say I think that argument is bullshit and extremely tenuous. Saying fuck you is not civil and just serves to inflame emotions. Same as Rush Limbaugh.

So generally are you saying only conservatives are the only ones that are extreme? Because I'm saying the hacks on both sides are equally bad. But maybe you're a partisan hack who doesn't have perspective? You tell me.

You just carry on believing what you want

BTW, this is typical College Republican stuff. College Republicans are usually the biggest bunch of whining panzies on any campus, complaining that colleges are too PC to minorities, but any time they themselves are told something remotely non-PC they throw these kinds of fits. Probably the best birth control for a college student is joining college Republicans

"spam"? I don't think you understand how the mailing happened. There are many of these emails that go out and you do realize that especially in IC there are many more lefty orgs so I don't see how 1 that happens to be from the right can be considered "spam".

Nice how you avoid the substance of my post -- Werepossum's dishonesty -- to instead nitpick semantics. How typical of you.

Nonetheless, spam is any unsolicited e-mail from a company or organization, especially that sent in bulk. This message was spam, just as all the bulk e-mails sent by "lefty orgs" are spam. They are authorized spam, but they are still spam. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but people tend to automatically react to spam more negatively than personal messages from friends.

For the record, I don't think there is anything wrong with the purpose of this e-mail, to advertise a campus event. The fact that it was political in nature is irrelevant. Virtually all schools host a diverse range of events and activities -- political, religious, sexuality, etc. -- almost all of which are offensive to somebody. That's a good thing, the world is a diverse and offensive place. See my .sig. While I think this specific message was a little tasteless, I doubt it's the worst thing sent at the U of I. It happened to hit a nerve with this professor, but as I've said multiple times, she overreacted.

So, what's your next duhversion?

Woot! Cad got something right! Stopped clock, etc.

It's in the article:

Those officials who approved political troll spam to be sent to the entire university should face consequences. There is no educational value to this spam that would justify allowing it to be sent to the entire campus. A professor who says FVCK off to such spam should not.

And, given that policy of one mass email per semester, would you also consider such emails from an equivalent left-wing organization to be useless spam? Would you also then consider a Republican professor replying with swears to be appropriate? :hmm:

Republican group sends approved mass email.
Leftist professor replies with obscenity.

Is that phrased simply enough for you to understand how it's not a Republican attack on education?

 

[MotF Bane]

As for the professor, she's rude, she's arrogant, and given the design of the current education system, nothing will actually happen to her. It's not as if her career can be derailed anyways.

 

[Jhhnn]

Heh. Republicans have been claiming that Obama is a communist, fascist, godless muslim who wasn't born in this country advocating death panels, socializing their medicare, warmongering appeasement, and spendthrift who wants to cut the military along with a lot of other rather rude lies and exaggerations... and when some obscure college professor finally goes off, why they're outraged! outraged at her lack of civility! and seek to project that onto liberals in general.

It's not like Righties have engaged in any sort of civility at all in recent memory- I suppose they think that because they're "oppressed" that none of what they demand from others should apply to them at all.

Maybe if they'd actually attempt to engage in civil dialogue they'd get some in return, but they haven't done that at all, nor are they likely to do so anytime RSN.

Looks like another trip for the Wahmbulance to me.

Yeah, Republicans should be like the Democrats when it comes to civility:

It IS a Republican attack on educators. They are going to go whining on about how they were discriminated against by the education establishment because someone who didn't like their spam told them to fvck off.

 

[Fear No Evil]

Watching the left become completely unglued over their complete political meltdown in 2 years is pretty entertaining I must say.

Looks like Republicans are "rising" to the occasion, whining and lashing out as usual:

Now now FNE, Republicans are not really "oppressed" like the liberals are. Their lack of civility is well deserved and acceptable, they really need the Whamublance............

LOL, lefty fail sure is fun!

They seem to be acting the same way the Professor did. So you are agreeing the professor was whining and lashing out?

Except she didn't spam them first.

 

[fskimospy]

No, the proper calibration for this forum seems to be - D/lib = good and if something happens it's not really news. R/Conservative = bad and should be extrapolated to all right of center.

As you can see, the proper calibration for this forum is where conservatives are victimized and oppressed.

Except she didn't spam them first.

And the Republicans attacking her didn't lash out first.. the Professor did.

Awwww, that poor, poor, professor! How dare someone send her spam! The humanity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111oneoneoneoneone...............

LOL, you should be attacking education as it clearly has failed and abandoned you.....

They spammed her with a troll email. She had a right to lash out, they are just a bunch of whining spamming trolls, like you.

Seriously, who is the whining moron? An EMAIL justified this knuckle dragging behavior? She is supposed to be an educator, open to alternative ideas and thoughts. What is she going to do if someone stands outside her office and says something she disagrees with? Have them assassinated?

Knuckle dragging? They spammed her work email, they were told to fuck off. All is right with the world. If you trying to put up the mother of all strawmen and slippery slope arguments, keep at it.
