[NU Sports] Soccer cats hazing -- blown out of proportion

[jason]

Apologies to all, but I've, yet again, been randomly taken to task in public 
by Mr. DeGroat and I would like to respond, so with your patience:

John, 

I'm a little tired of anyone who disagrees with you being insulted. God 
forbid, someone writes something that you find to be a personal or 
ideological affront, and they "will never get it". Go start up a Board of 
people who only feel the way you do if we all are so off target. I prefer a 
discourse where differing viewpoints are backed up with knowledge, fact, 
humor, and passion. Not insults.

Now to defend:

Hey, pal. Read my post more carefully. I put the blame for dishonoring the 
dignity of the White House on the past TWO Presidents (the one who lied about 
WMD's AND the one who lied about Monica). My point being that the lack of 
dignity shown by our leaders IS bipartisan. Stop changing other people's 
words to fit your arguments. 

Further, I said what I said with respect, but since you have done nothing but 
disrespect me and my words, than maybe you should take a look at what that 
personal need of yours to be right all the time is all about. I said from the 
beginning it was just my opinion, not my need to be correct. Remember 
the "disagree" part of my post? Of course not.

I was never talking politics. I was talking taste and NU championships. You 
are the one who brought up partisan politics, as you always do when someone 
disagrees with you. 

Again, with respect, and with the wish that some of us would get that back 
from you, or better yet, you'd just join the rest of us in having time-
passing, fun-filled DISCUSSIONS about our boys and girls in Purple. Not 
diatribes about why we're all wrong and you're ALWAYS right.

Sorry to the rest of you, but I've had enough.

Jason Singer
