My letter to the editor was published today regarding an embarrasing anti-homosexuality opinion article that ran yesterday. Basically, I feel that the university newspaper should raise the standard for their writers and not print this kind of article.

Thank you. Your actions meant a lot to me. And they did more than you know.

saw your letter, thought that was totally rad. for the first time in ages, i'd skipped reading the editorials page yesterday because it's sucked more than normal lately. anyway, i had to go back and read it after i noticed today that all that was published were, essentially, letters to the editor. i found it cool that so many people voiced their opinions regarding this issue, and that they all seemed to think that the editorial writer had his head up his ass, which he did. anyway, though, brandom formby made some good points about how such an editorial shows people that ignorance still exists in the world...i'm not sure if it's a university newspaper's job to point that out, though. aside: i have somewhat of an ongoing feud with the UD editorialists. basically, every semester/year, i pick one of them that pisses me off and i write letters to the editor asking for them to be fired. it never works, i never get replies from the paper and none of my letters (related to firing editorialists or other more realistic letters) ever get published. i've been blacklisted; alas. one of the editorialists once sent me an e-mail asking me why i hate him so much. tee-hee.
