Dear readers

It seems that our readership has gone up as of late. We are glad the student population is so interested and passionate about what is going on on-campus right now.

However, we aren't a source of hard news (we're into the softer side of the news world!). We are a blog. We started this in order to have a platform to express our views and observations, and we will continue to use it as such. When we get tips or see interesting coverage, we will point you towards it.

If you want solid, journalistic coverage, we suggest La Rotonde or The Fulcrum. If you want to hear what we (as students) think about what's going on, stay tuned in to us.

Please try to keep your comments respectful, and happy reading.

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

You may disagree with the writers opinions, but be respectful. We all believe in freedom of speech

Oh? And what if their opinions are presented in a disrespectful way? Practice what you preach.

I'm ashamed to know that these bloggers are participating in the BOA. They accuse people of being bullying and immature and yet think they're so special and different that they can do the same thing without reproach.

This blog is the SFUO equivalent of Ann Coulter and her "I'm not anorexic because I have a boyfriend." Bullshit, bad faith and prejudice.

To clarify, none of us are members of the BOA.

To clarify, when we were talking about "bullying", we were referring to the students at the SAC hearing who were yelling and insulting each other, and making US feel uncomfortable. I felt scared for my safety at one point. I see this as bullying.

To clarify, none of us have participated in these activities.

To clarify, no one is forcing you to read this. If you are ashamed of us, then go elsewhere.

I have begun blogging. It's more my rants and pseudo-poetry.

My voice to testiy was supressed.

Wait, where can an anglophone get "hard news" about this all? Cause honestly, google-translating La Rotonde is not cutting this. I can barely tell who's on which side, let alone what they stand for!

Sorry! Talk to the Fulcrum?

I can just imagine ...

Dear The Fulcrum,
It has come to my attention that you fail. There are blogs composed only of images of cats which give me a more in-depth picture of the SFUO than you do. In the future, please suck less.
Sincerly,
Etc.
