Many people have expressed disappointment with me for following the MSU censorship guidelines. The MSU and University are looking for any excuse to crackdown on me, I am not giving them one. As a leader in the Movement for Democratic Reform of the MSU, I am a prime target. I cannot work on reform if I do not have MSU membership or if I get a complete ban from campus. People often say to me that I must pick the right battles, not just pick a battle because it is right.
Anyway, the MSU has yet to figure out a way to shutdown the internet. Considering that China has not either, you think they would be expecting students to discuss matters of the MSU state.
One of the members of the SRA has discovered that the MSU cannot revoke his membership for discussing the MSU election. In order to revoke his membership, he would have to be recalled first. Students want reform, students want democracy and would never recall a member that is fighting for students and is actually representing students.
Go to msuelection.blogspot.com only if you are not a McMaster Student.
If you are a McMaster student, remember that the MSU knows what is best for you and you are not to visit this website. The MSU has yet to install parental controls for us but they do know what is better for you.
To quote from the Silhouette:
The informant also paraphrased Drew Mitchell as saying, “if you are a parent and your child wants to eat only ice cream, you as an adult will know that this is not good for their health and as such would not allow it. In the same way SRA members must make decisions for their constituency, when they know it is in their best interest.”
(Quotes from the Silhouette are not a violation of the MSU censorship rules.)
Joey, you are an argumentative coward, i have noticed that when someone comments on one of your posts and actually gives a good response that refutes your post or position on a matter, you do not reply back, instead you skirt the subject and move onto yet another misleading blog post.
MSU reform is one thing, but actually being able to either back yourself up or concede a point when you’re proven wrong is another. I call for Joey Coleman reform, wise up and debate with dignity, or shut up.
You’re such a coward Joey! Why do you even bother putting your name on your statements? Just go all out and do it anonymously.
I think the biggest problem is that the election policy is being misinterpreted. The electionic media ban is very misguided. Online use now has essentially replaced face to face conversations etc. How is having a blog forum or facebook wall discussion any different then talking about the candidates in a public space? Would I as a student have reprecussions brought against me if I was talking loudly about my support of a candidate in the student center?
