To get it back on topic, without all this pointless banter (stick to topic headers or keep it in Utterances, kids) - "Grr" (Controverama, Part II) has been added to furtherly extend the debate on this issue. Check it out and please leave any comments on it. Thanks

aw class! i get to be the forum fool! ;D mint! so yeah, maye i was a bit harsh and the letter was clearly insultive to certain people but i did have a rite to be angry, a few of my mates were hurt by some of the comments written and the articles did read as if they were serious, and not exactly objective. Yeah thats the point, i get that now, but hey, if i didnt write the letter what would you have had such an interesting conversation about?

...maybe i was a bit harsh and the letter was clearly insultive to certain people I think the central idea to your letter WAS to insult us. However, I know what it's like to be angry - but we're allowed to have our opinions, even though we've been told they're crap. Still, you can't take our thoughts away from us. I may have a supposedly "50 years out-of-date" attitude to poetry, but it's still my opinion

the only article that refered to the contents of IWOT was the article on teenage poetry and then it was a passing comment, otherwise all the articles have been completely neutral. its not the fault of the author that certain people take offence, if anything they need to get a backbone and a thicker skin because people are always going to be putting you down, most of the time worse than was alluded to in the article

It was only the poetry in I.W.O.T. that reminded me of exactly how much teenage poetry there was that sucked. I've seen the worst of it on another forum. The reason I pointed out was the fact the only reason it's in there was because it HAD to be done as part of the course; that's the reason the name wasn't printed, because they weren't asking for sympathy like other poetry I've seen. Also, I did nothing to constitue a full scale attack on my own personal integrity; I never insulted Heather, the IWOT team, etc... I only put across my own opinion. Fun eh?

in my opinion the IWOT lot are really egotistical or paranoid if they think everything on this site is against them and they were just waiting for an excuse to bring down the site But James, their paper was just for a laugh even though they tried to make really serious points so I don't know what you're going on about! They're obviously jovial funsters that can Take That 'N' Party more than we can - hell, I fear we may have to shut down the entire Twaddle Network and all of its obvious mysoginistic traits after they release their second issue: you may just find me hanging from the rafters of my room not because I felt threatened, because I just couldn't take more than the article titles after such a shock. Wow, as carbon-copy-embittered as I can be in relation to Heather, I don't actually feel vicious towards IWOT at all; IWOT belive we are like this. I'll start again; But James, they felt undermined by our work into a spin-off site and took us way too seriously, thinking that we hated the whole English Dept., maintaining their view that we though their paper was rubbish! Of course, we didn't think this, we just knew that if were to join the college paper our views would not have been half as free as they are online. We were furtherly criticised for having views that were out of date, which in themselves still remain OUR opinions, OUR comparisons, OUR writing style. Of course, not having to conform to the virus that is Political Correctness, and having more freedom, we could say pretty much what we wanted to, and so IWOT possibly felt threatened by what they may have seen as unregulated yet extremely opinionated articles. This in turn attracted a small follwing, aided by cleverly placed propaganda. However, we probably were a little out of line, but not as much as we were told off for. Even if we illegally put posters up, used “The Site That Dare Not Speak Its Name” as a name in direct parody of IWOT and made a passing comment on their poetry sections, they still remain the views of a select view, only possibly applying to more than one person. I still feel that my view of poetry is very valid; if you've seen as much bad poetry dotted around the internet like I have, you become very cynical of what is a seemingly awful misuse of the art. Greg still feels his comparison to passive abortion, much as I do, to be a valid one, and so we left it up (although being stopped for that too) - comments like this still remain our views only; if we offend someone, it happens - our views are not everyone's. I just wish IWOT could have taken us a bit less seriously - we weren't demanding their heads on big pointy sticks, we just disagreed with them. Also, they did kind of ask for it by being bloody annoying on our guestbook...

i agree entirely but its primarily the idea that they felt threatened but this subversive super dooper movement of revolution (i intend to copyright that description just for the crack) newpapers in daily circulation are always having digs at each other, and they're usually bordering on defamation, yours however was 1 passing reference (granted the name was possibly the primary reason for the colleges objections and how you broke the nuremburg laws by not goosestepping into an office and submitting a acceptable poster to be rubber stamped by the Fuhrer before sending some SS minions to nail it up about the internment camp that is college) they really need to grow up and if they are threatened by the quality of any part of this site they should endevour to increase the quality of their work rather than having the college intervene
