A 14-year old would laugh at the thought process.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the work. Jerks like Bill O'Reilly will see to it that other non-transparent people like me will make fun of their nonsense.<BR/><BR/>You know who I am? Umassmenus? Yes, everyone, I am a walking website. Whois me if you want to know. Amherst Life, keep doing what you are doing.UmassMenushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13033880178356013837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30601753.post-21912291089568182912008-02-28T18:37:00.000-05:002008-02-28T18:37:00.000-05:00That was a weird comment about a situation that in...That was a weird comment about a situation that involved a direct threat of violence against students at UMass. <BR/><BR/>Actually, the comment does not make any reference to the content of the post at all. <BR/><BR/>What do you think about the fact that there was a "time frame" indicated in a threatening attack, and what do you think about the fact that classes went on as usual in that climate? We find it troubling.<BR/><BR/>But to get to your post: there is no connection between UMass's "transparency" and Amherst Life's "transparency." <BR/><BR/>Are you mounting some kind of attack because you feel threatened by what we write? <BR/><BR/>And by the way, we are in Massachusetts: O'Reilly is as much a psedo-nym as Santos is in Latin America. <BR/><BR/>Nobody knows you and nobody is asking to know you. <BR/><BR/>Further, we often write these pieces as a group -- it is collaborative in every sense (hence, "Crew").<BR/><BR/>And, WE'd like to remind you that you are the only reader that is troubled by our lack of a trackable name. Most are happy to read from the different perspectives that we engage. <BR/><BR/>Last: WE don't really care about good will with our readers. We are not selling anything, we don't have click ads on the site, we don't have to pay rent for this website. If readers don't like the content, if readers aren't benefiting from the content, they click away.The Crewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08920587396023957082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30601753.post-26350080911696545462008-02-28T14:33:00.000-05:002008-02-28T14:33:00.000-05:00You expect more transparency when it comes to thre...You expect more transparency when it comes to threats that may indeed signal danger to students at Umass.<BR/><BR/>When Amherst Life Blog readers have asked you to identify yourselves as individuals, you have declined. Amherst Life Blog readers want more transparency. Are you prepared to offer it?<BR/><BR/>There is nothing wrong with using a pseudonym. I post as O'Reilly. You know who I am. I'm O'Reilly. <BR/><BR/>When you post as "The Crew" is the opposite of transparent. Consider it. It may buy you some good will with your readers.O'Reillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02298161341394034059noreply@blogger.com
