One Last Thing...The state of Metro’s online message boards is unacceptable. Recently, a contributor to The Metropolitan was insulted and degraded in a way that is simply disgusting. A person ridiculed our contributor by posting on the Creative Resistance message board. They referred to her rape as “unbelievable” because the person says “she is too ugly to rape”—and I’m paraphrasing kindly. Such behavior is harassment and is not appropriate in a college environment. Such behavior is unacceptable. This situation serves as a highlight of things that are wrong with our message boards. Too often, threats, insults and abhorrent behavior are tolerated. There are a variety of issues involved, including freedom of speech, and all must be carefully examined to find a solution. I’m asking everyone reading this: if you have any ideas on how to fix the situation, please contact me at breuer@mscd.edu. Something must be done. Sincerely,
|
