This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Post being replied to

Especially ironic after his (lack of) action re: Shembo by revressbo

But then again, I guess the admin themselves swept that under the rug in that case, too.

It’s actually weird the amount of bloggers I’ve seen who hate Zahm but love BK. It’s like an inverse relationship. These guys seem to either not know or (even worse) not care about the Shembo/Seeberg situation at all (all because BK wins 10 games a year, I guess?) while simultaneously cheering on the admin for taking down Zahm. BK/the ND admin are pure bastions of light, unlike those Zahm degenerates.

Yea, Shembo was only “alleged”. Yet apparently rumors/“reputation” is enough to take down an entire dorm. (The alleged incident with Shembo btw took place in Stanford Hall, where he resided. But I’m sure if/when the email from admin saying an alleged “forcible fondling” took place in a north quad dorm, everyone thought ZAHM!! because of reputation or some bullshit.)

Sorry for both the tangential post going down that path and simply a tangential post itself. But yeah, I’m pissed about Zahm and pissed about the complete hypocrisy from ND’s admin and how they only seem to care about how they look/things appear, not actually what’s right. El K, if you need to nuke this post and/or my account, I understand.
