Update 2 on John Daly (not the golfer)

Well, it seems that WCCC has sided with our dear friend Kent on this one. They have held up Daly's argument that nothing was wrong with his email. I sti'sll think its retarded and they got it wrong. Responding to your comments in the previous post: 1) I thought that everyone would be intelligent enough to go to the link i put in the post and see the posters. Obviously i overestimated a particular person. I will post the pic in the bottom of this post. 2) The two are not on equal footing on a college campus. One is in a position of authority and the other is not. If you hold a position of power or authority your words carry more weight therefore the standard is different. Another student can call you a jackass in class but the professor cannot. 3) The letter was a letter sent to the student but she of course has no reason that she cannot publish it. All of her words have been shown as well as all of his. Why should she keep his personal attack on her private? He was however going to air his personal views on the war and her club in particular in an english class, i doubt that is in the curriculum don't ya think? 4) No she can't get a refund for her semester now and she shouldn't have to in the first place. She can leave at the end of a semester but, if you have ever tried to transfer credits, its very hard and almost no college will take all of another college ones. Its a community college by the way so perhaps she can't just go to another. If she is being attacked by a professor, its not her responsibility to move on to another college. I don't have a clue where your pot comment comes from by the way. 5) I misrepresented what i wrote. His comments, by themselves, are not sedition because no revolt, violence, oristurbance has occured. If a soldier did take his words seriously and attempted to do what he advocates, it would be sedition. So no he is not guilty of sedition, only advocating it. I thought that was obvious but i realize now my post was unclear.
