How the school went about it was totally inappropriate. There should have been a conversation about her needs and the school’s ability to meet them or not. Their method was deplorable. As if the kid and her family aren’t going through enough already.

I don’t really buy that excuse. They act as if no other child in the history of America ever experienced a serious illness and needed to keep up with school. Before the internet, someone would give the kid a copy of their notes and bring books and homework to their home on a daily basis. It may be that the student…

Ah, St Joseph: the patron saint of backpeddlers.

I’m imagining something like the stoner version of the oracle at Delphi. He’s just going on and on and you’re just writing it down hoping the priests can make sense of it later

I want to get on board with this, but this poster is borderline MRA at best and my immediate response to this post is, “yeah sure, buddy”. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No, I have to disagree. I would say it is 90% positive comments over there, which I would have to think is really good for any internet website. I’ll admit I did not look at the grays, but I had to speak up for Deadspin.

Nah, go. Just stay out of the greys. The approved crew’s been pretty great, with a few outliers. And Tim Burke’s been a fucking champ, engaging with commenters and being cool about it. Not like Gabrielle’s drop and go over on Gawker.

Yup. I was all, “wait ... do I respect Kris Jenner now?!”

When Bruce just whipped off his hair tie and shook his ponytail loose I was filled with so much joy.

I think it's really fucking brave, that's all I have to say.

Uggh, I have a friend like this. The only way she seems to know how to interact with men she likes is to insult them. I used to go out with her to be wing-woman and she would get mad that they'd ask for my number and not hers. Which is saying a lot because I am not social, always in a LTR, and I've been told I give…

Every time someone refers to themselves as a brand, the ozone layer shrinks by 4.6 inches.

You are ruling my world with this very sweet comment :D

This is a gross move. Emma being a “footnote” even though her blatant and conniving “fiction” is central to whole narrative of the complaint....

Let me get this straight: she never brings this guy's name into her work, he is never punished by the University, and now he is putting his name into the public record, in court documents, as the accused rapist? He wants to go to trial (he won't get there - this case is dead in the water, but still), where the details…

Two other women also accused Nungesser of sexual assualt; the board found him not responsible on those charges as well.

another thing that is probably stressful is being a rape victim whose rapist got off free, but that’s none of my business [kermit sipping tea dot jpg]

As we reported in February, Nungesser was found not responsible in the alleged rape by the campus disciplinary board. Two other women also accused Nungesser of sexual assualt; the board found him not responsible on those charges as well. Another accuser, a male student, says he filed a complaint against Nungesser with…

Oh, boo hoo. You made your bed (originally, pun unintended), live with it. It’s unfortunate that most victims get their names dragged through the mud for being brave enough to come forward and press charges. Maybe people would stop raping if rapists were shamed for their actions. God, wouldn’t that be great?
