Nah, we just do it because it so obviously chaps your ass and it's pretty funny. Not like you didn't take your own shot in the previous post.

Anyway, the problem is that you appear to be so sure that you're right about everything and have the morally unimpeachable position on every issue that you don't need to self-examine.

Yeah, pot meet kettle. There are numerous examples of me conceding points on this site. Meanwhile your posting history is a litany of militant, condescending intransigence. But I'll watch the video and get back to you.

No, it isn't, really.

If your position is that you can understand the degree to which racism or marginalization affects someone as deeply as someone who actually experiences it, then that's pretty damn arrogant.

Sure, in some contexts. You shouldn't loudly declaim the deceased as a terrible person at his own funeral. You shouldn't decry Israeli military action in a synagogue during Shabbat. But what you've just typed, that should not be said in a university context. "Get out because I disagree" is not an appropriate response. It shouldn't be said anywhere where ideas are up for discussion and someone's made an earnest and honest attempt to express a view.

I think there's a difference between an exchange of ideas and an administrator holding to a sentiment that could contribute to the marginalization of certain segments of the student body. Again, I don't think she should be fired and I do agree that some campuses have gone overboard in this respect, but I can also understand why this would bother some people.
