It’s Come Down to This?
It’s on the ODE site and clearly attracting comments, so I’ll open it up here.
Today’s ODE Point/Counterpoint, pitting Toby Hill-Meyer against our own editor in chief Tyler Graf.
Also in the editorial of our new issue, this is more than fair:
“So here’s our offer, made publicly and in the spirit of a free press: Toby, if you’re that angry, we’ll give you a page to run in our long-running Another Perspective slot. You would receive 500 — 700 words in every issue, unedited. Say what you like, as long as it’s legal.”
Eloquent, respectful, professional, and worthy of note, Tyler. Good job.
I don’t feel that the Commentator has been treated with respect (Toby the student) or fairness (Senator Hill-Meyer) in regards to this problem. The problems with our content brought to light by Senator Hill-Meyer could have been cleared up with a simple query to the staff, either in person or in email. If ze claims to be too afraid of us to do so, then ze is guilty of judging people before ze knows them, which is something ze dislikes people doing to zim.
