I agree with a request for an apology! It’s atrocious. In fact, only the most degraded humans in Jonathan Swift’s famous example of repulsive humans behave with such scatological impurity. (He calls them Yahoos.) Published in a sophisticated newspaper, the idea suggests New College students should degrade themselves thusly toward a college trustee, a respected position, chosen to make decisions during this college’s steep dive toward its own oblivion.

Oh my, the fragility is on display today! Last time we got to see white mediocracy, elevated vastly beyond where it deserves to be, embarrass itself with its display of ignorance. Today we get to see the fragility of this man, who wilts at the slightest push back. You're crying about a comment on an article; what a big alpha male you are.

This is another essence of modern conservatism; it feels free to use dangerous and inflamatory speech to attack those it deems its enemies, and then cries loudly about being persecuted when confronted.

I demand that Eddie Speir formally apologizes for the mean things that I'm about to write on his blog.

You haven't even started and you're attacking the media while crying the victim. Grow up.

This whole thing is an embarrassment. We knew DeSantis was hiring hacks to tank a great school, but it's like he went out of his way to pick the worst possible people.

Whiny Eddie, well equipped to guide students facing adversity.

This is what you think makes you look like a good leader? Complaining about a comment section on a newspaper site? Trying to restrict freedom of the press because your feelings are hurt?

Claiming rotten tomatoes or dog poop are implied violence?

Are you seriously this weak and petty?
