x_studentsI am not going to comment to the previous post in this community. This is after all, first and foremost, your forum in which to interact, vent, and all that entails. It is also why I tend to not comment here all that much, in case anyone wondered.
Nor, since some have apparently worried about this, do I run to anyone with what is written here, to babble away what I do read here.
I would like to remind you of the following, however.
1) The younger students still have access to this community. As such, swearing and all that jazz is still viewable by them here as well. Do remember that. We ask that you keep a fairly civil language in your regular journals for that reason - it extends to this community as well. Clarice, I do apologize if I hadn't thought to let you know of this when you arrived, by the way. My bad. So please keep this in mind in future postings, all of you. It would be greatly appreciated.
2) Witch hunts are an unpleasant thing. We of all people know how that feels. Perhaps we might consider our actions and words carefully, before starting out on one ourselves. Food for thought. Give it a try. Personally, I'm not very fond of the burning at the stake principle. Been there, got toasted some. Not much with the fun.
3) And this one is strictly personal on my part. There is no us vs. you, between the teaching staff and students. It would be nice if the lot of you (and I'm keeping this general, because really, I don't feel like pointing fingers here and being juvenile) could try to keep that in mind. We're here to help you with your powers, and teach you your mundane, boring, regular classes just like a lot of other kids get to learn. Because there is life after the mansion, after all.
4) The quality inherent to Freedom of Speech, is that it must be applied to all.
Now. Regarding Mr Marko's post - the Professor is aware of happenings and will be addressing the issue shortly, as it should be dealt with.
Have a good evening.
Thank you,
Alison

Date: 2004-01-06 05:02 am (UTC)I didn't start anything of a witch hunt and I am still waiting to hear back from the Professor. Still, I think you can understand how events of late would leave students concerned about anyone who was so blatantly disrespectful of who and what we are.
Freedom of Speech? He didn't post in his own journal, Alison, he posted an insulting and threatening post as a staff member. That negates his right to 'free speech'.
As for people being afraid "unnecessarily"? That's precisely why I wrote to the Professor. We shouldn't have to be afraid. Period. And if Mr. Marko cannot moderate his language and opinions, we deserve to know why so we can deal with our own reactions to it at least.
