I've noticed a distinct loss of community with the loss of Morrisson Hall. With only one classroom in our building now, and most of our classes scattered all across campus, you hardly see anyone except those that you have class with. It makes it more difficult for those of us who aren't naturally social to feel like they're a part of things. Not that I was all that connected when Morrisson was around, but I could have been, and it wouldn't have taken all that much effort.

I think that everyone's overreacted to "those comics". I've read them all too, and they are not all hateful. Most of them are pretty innocent. Those of us out there with easily hurt feelings are just concentrating on the ones that are hurtful. While I'm the last person in the world to tell anyone not to have their feelings hurt, there is a simple solution to this problem: If says something that offends you, don't read what they write anymore. If you're offended and you continue to read, you really have no right to complain anymore.

I haven't noticed that much hate on the board itsself. A few people have complained about things, a few people have told them to suck it up...that's not hate. People overuse the word "hate" most of the time anyway.

Alright, that's just my take on things. Get on with your life.

Seth
