<p>Sad part = I don’t think he’s playing. He did use a latin expression though which can fool you for a second but once you realize he is a veteran forum ■■■■■ it’s not really surprising he knows the term. It’s funny he thinks we’re avoiding a question when really the question is so stupid it doesn’t warrant an answer.</p>
<p>Post hoc, ergo, propter hoc. Don’t be fooled Wolfman, it’s the common fallacy. Uh, “veteran forum ■■■■■” with 9 posts.</p>
<p>Sooo you found another forum…</p>
<p>im in ur forum</p>
<p>usin mai latin skillz</p>
<p>Nooo Wolfman, I’m not going anywhere. I’m not a ■■■■■. I know, it’s hard for you to believe. I’ll be waiting to see how the administration handles it. Playing in a corner isn’t an option.</p>
<p>Ehh, not what I was saying at all. If you’re telling me you’ve never argued on the internet before I’m calling you a liar. It shows. Maybe you should have waited until the administration did something so you would know if you actually had something to whine about.</p>

<p>I have no problem that you are on the Brown forum. Indeed this incident happened at Brown. My point was that you are attacking Brown instead of commenting or being critical of the student who took these actions. This young woman doesn’t represent all of Brown. You mention silliness and that is a generalization as this is the act of one person. You made a generalization about Brown allowing pie throwing of faculty or speakers when the opposite is true…they are NOT condoning this behavior and there are disciplinary hearings going on about this student, I believe. The girl is even quoted as saying that expulsion is “on the table.” So, while the decision of what actions the university may take is not out yet, it is apparent that they are reviewing the case and what they may do about it. </p>

<p>You completely misunderstood my point. The OPPOSITE is true. I was not putting down those other schools. I was saying that your put downs and generalizations about Brown would be like someone putting Yale down due to ONE student’s art project. I don’t frown upon Yale in that instance, but I would be critical of that student. Same with the pie thrower…critique her actions but she doesn’t represent the student body at Brown. I also went on to mention that the incident at Columbia was different as the other students in attendance cheered on those who were acting inappropriately and stopping the speech by the invited speaker. At Brown, I don’t think the girl and guy who threw the pie at the speaker were cheered by fellow students. In fact, I am reading that other Brown students are critical of the pie throwing students. I’m not throwing slime. You mention commending Yale for taking action with the art student and guess what? So do I. Just like I commend Brown for dealing with these students who threw a pie. </p>
<p>I do believe you are posting in a manner that is to incite. The focus should be on commenting on the student’s behavior who threw the pie and not drawing conclusions that it is about Brown (ie., asking if Brown allows pie throwing) or about its student body (ie., asking about silliness at Brown due to the actions of one student). I brought up heroin as an ANALOGY and if ONE student was caught using heroin, assuming that Brown allows it and then assuming that everyone at Brown is on drugs. That is how I see your comments/questions about this incident…assuming Brown allows pie throwing and then commenting about silliness of Brown students as a whole.</p>

<p>This is the thing. Brown is obviously not the right place for this person, and if his/her writing is any indication of personality, let’s encourage Tuco to look elsewhere. Not that Brown can’t handle debate and discourse, OF COURSE IT CAN. It’s just that this is the ultimate in anger-provoking needling. That will only cause problems, mostly for Tuco. S/he will probably be pretty miserable there, and needs to find a place where s/he can find more folks who agree with him/her. That place probably won’t be Brown. I suggest we let him/her ride off into the sunset… Happy Trails, Tuco!</p>
<p>I think you’re all being too hard on tuco. He’s probably the kind of person who’s been pied a lot, and naturally feels sympathy for somebody else in a similar situation.</p>
<p>Wow.. it’s not aggravating at all to know that Brown admissions picked some idiots like that over me. :rolleyes:, haha</p>
<p>jk of course, I’m sure most people at Brown wouldn’t do this.</p>
<p>They didn’t pick her at first, she was a transfer.</p>
<p>Send her back to Colby? What do you say?</p>
<p>I just don’t see why anyone would want to pie Mr. Friedman. I read his latest book and quite enjoyed it.</p>
<p>Many people don’t like the guy too much.</p>
<p>I hate his writing style. He belabor a point like no other. Probably a little bit overrated, but that’s just my 2 cents.</p>
<p>Careful. Your arrogance is showing.</p>
<p>Strawboy-- what is your connection to Brown other than posting in very negative threads?</p>
<p>Uhh… probably no connection.</p>
<p>Just looking to establish the fact that you’re just here to stir the ****. I don’t know why so many people decided that was their role the last two days around here.</p>
<p>Strawboy is making a good showing for Dartmouth in the Brown forum /sarcasm</p>
