I'm so mad I could spit nails...

I swear to God, I couldn't even see straight when I was typing. The gall of that crass, vile son-of-a-bitch! I don't give a shit who he is, you do NOT come into OUR home and then start talking to us that way. What a fucking ignorant ass. How DARE he talk to us like that, how dare he, especially when anyone has access to that journal and God only knows some of us are clinging to any shred of self-esteem on a daily basis. I am stunned by his complete lack of tact and decency and his outright... meanness. I've read my elementary psych texts, thank you, and I can pick out verbal abuse and attempted intimidation from a MILE away. I have a wide tolerance for many things, but THAT? Mocking us in our own home? I won't take that shit. Not from him, not from anyone. It's the principle of the thing. This is supposed to be a safe space for mutants, regardless of what bastards like Stryker have to say about it, and I will not let someone walk in here and make it UNsafe. Not a chance. And if he's allowed to stay, allowed to get away with it, I don't know what I'll do. This is our home. Some of us weren't given the choice to be here. Some of us have defended it in the worst of circumstances. We have the right to be respected here. And if I'm wrong about that, then I've got no reason to stay. I've met kinder truckers on the highways and I'll take my chances with them instead.

He called us terribly rude names, he threatned to drag people to homeless shelters by their hair, or collar or something, he yells and is generally a jerk.

He accuses us of having no respect for anything, when it is a bare few of us who break rules.

That on top of the nightmares mean that I want to know if I should worry. That is all. I don't think it is our job to make him go away or leave or anything.

We didn't know anything about Doctor Essex, and we trusted him, some of us. Only, look what happened.

Okay, point, but why are people going straight for invasion of privacy instead of, y'know, asking the Professor about it? I mean, he hired the guy, and after Essex don't you think he's more careful about who he lets in here too?

Of course.

But, I think sometimes it is better, safer, to do first and ask later, so long as it is not dangerous.

If we look at the public knowledge, and see something odd, then asking is good. If we ask first, we run a risk of being told not to look at all, and then we worry more.

I dunno if I think we're very good at deciding what isn't dangerous, is all. And I don't think the Professor would just shut us down with a flat no.

I do not think that looking for public knowledge is dangerous. If it was, it would not be public, no?
