[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, that article really was depressing. Interesting that there's been quite a bit about Stanford in the news lately - including their idiotic "harmful language/forbidden words" nonsense.  Too bad.  I always thought Stanford would remain independent of all the liberal nuttery, but I guess not.[/quote]

The forbidden language thing was for the IT people who wrote official content for their website. Stop letting clickbait get you worked up![/quote]

PP here and I’m well aware of that.  That doesn’t change the fact that the “official content” was indeed, officially for Stanford.  How about you stop being an apologist for idiocy?[/quote]

In other words, even a minimal amount of clickbait will cause me to set my hair on fire. [/quote]

"Clickbait"?  Didn't realize the actual Stanford newspaper was "clickbait."  Sorry this embarrasses you - as it should.

It’s a student run paper at Stanford and yes it’s click bait. From the article:

The update from Stanford’s Chief Information Officer, Steve Gallagher, states “the website does not represent university policy. It also does not represent mandates or requirements.” Gallagher’s post also reads the “website was created by, and intended for discussion within, the IT community at Stanford.”

It’s a discussion piece - but sure go nuts. [/quote]

That's Stanford covering their butt after this got out - as anyone who can read can discern.  You must be either a Stanford alum or have a kid there to be taking this so personally.[/quote]

what are you then? You're trying to turn a random Stanford blog in the "actual Stanford newspaper" and it's pretty clear this was never a mandate and it was never "officially for Stanford". You're the one desperately trying to make it into something it isn't because you need to engage in some bizarre conflict.[/quote]
How about this investigative article from the Stanford Daily, the student-run newspaper? https://stanforddaily.com/2022/10/24/inside-stanfords-war-on-fun-tensions-mount-over-universitys-handling-of-social-life/

Is this enough of an “actual Stanford newspaper” for you?[/quote]

+1
[b]Exactly.  Now we wait while the PP dismisses it for one bizarre reason or another.[/b]  [/quote]

Two different articles. One was about the stupid IT internal memo and the is one is about the lack of fun at Stanford.  And if you include the WSJ article listed somewhere else we have three articles floating around on this thread.

And it wasn’t AN actual Stanford newspaper, they were making it THE actual Stanford newspaper. The Stanford Review is the student right wing paper. And they accomplished their goal getting people like you to think that memo was an actual problem. [/quote]

:lol:  :lol: 
Right on cue!!  Go away, troll.  With every post, you're looking more and more absurd.  Everyone else is able to follow along and understand what the conversation is about.  Also, if you consider The Stanford Review "right-wing," that just speaks volumes about you.  [/quote]
