Soulforce had no interest in setting up a forum. PBA even offered to sit down and discuss, but they didn't take it (some basic investigation on your part would have revealed that one). <BR/><BR/>You can't just walk onto private property and start spouting whatever it is that you are selling. If you want a school with broader discussions, go to a school that isn't committed to a particular set of ideals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318532744978761749.post-64474156398335105962008-10-30T00:34:00.000-04:002008-10-30T00:34:00.000-04:00Someone's a bitter Republican.max powernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318532744978761749.post-63237189678103210452008-10-29T23:00:00.000-04:002008-10-29T23:00:00.000-04:00Hey Bacon how about some pro abortion satire.

Look at how they spun the PBA visit. When someone wrote them and showed them the how many mistakes there were in the article, they said they had no interest in changing it to be more accurate.<BR/><BR/>They don't want an open forum and they don't want to write an unbiased account of what happened. Why would I want to read their skewed view of a visit to Lee U? Even if it was a place of open forum, that's the exception, not the norm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318532744978761749.post-45523338831517172502008-10-25T23:07:00.000-04:002008-10-25T23:07:00.000-04:00With all due respect Original DJ, that is not true.<BR/><BR/>Many schools have forums with Soulforce and no one gets arrested.<BR/><BR/>Lee University is a good example.

Baylor tried to do something like that as I know that PBA did as well. All that they want is to get arrested for trespassing and get their message into the news. They never accept offers for free discussion on campus. If they did, why was it that PBA was the ONLY campus in Florida that they visited. It isn't about discussion of ideas. To them it is about making Christian schools look bad and get free press.PBA's Original DJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318532744978761749.post-59973096780037722592008-10-25T13:55:00.000-04:002008-10-25T13:55:00.000-04:00I think the Bacon handled this correctly.<BR/><BR/>Like it or not, the satire in this article is a fair representation of the way the school handles ideas that donors do not agree with. <BR/><BR/>Is it not odd that the school quite regularly hosts gay-related forums, but fails to ever invite any openly gay speakers? If a student wanted to hold a forum on homosexuality and the church from a liberal perspective, would the school stop it from happening? Would the school ban posters advertising such an event? This is a question that has yet (to my knowledge) been tested.level headed folknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318532744978761749.post-92107196214962727492008-10-24T19:11:00.000-04:002008-10-24T19:11:00.000-04:00If PBA had given Soulforce an open forum, then they would have posted on their website that PBA supports their pro-gay mission.<BR/><BR/>Baconites, you lose credibility when you complain about something that the university, like it or not, handled correctly.choose your battlesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318532744978761749.post-90620954003079186332008-10-23T22:59:00.000-04:002008-10-23T22:59:00.000-04:00Good article Bacon.

Read the comments and you'll get it. Great article bacon. I think that the school really handled this in about the worst way possible. All we would have had to do was give them an open forum in upstairs Weyenberg. If they made a scene then they would just look like idiots. If there was dialogue then it would have been a good thing. PBA doesn't need to protect me from ideas. This was more of a satire of something very serious then just a "haha fat girls eat cookies" kind of article. I'm glad other commenters get it too.natyhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChcnrDRD450&feature=relatednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318532744978761749.post-16419982404297028172008-10-22T20:52:00.000-04:002008-10-22T20:52:00.000-04:00Dearest Bacon, so 1984-esque it scares me.

A good piece- funny and witty ( I know...not quite a sentence). I especially like the Matrix looking idea catching photo. I can just see that in slo-mo. <BR/><BR/>Come to think of it, a college campus is a dangerous place for such fast darting ideas. Hooray for mediocrity! Thank heaven we've got folks on patrol to catch and expel such pesky ideas from campus property.<BR/><BR/>Bacon, you're doing a fine job.

Did something happen this weekend to prompt the article or is it a general misunderstanding of the administration that led to it? <BR/><BR/>I guess the days of hoping for well-written satire are long gone. First they just post news without humor, then they just pick random stuff and try to make it funny. <BR/><BR/>As far as the Bacon oweing me something, they do. They have a reputation of being a satire blog and even promote themselves as such on the front page. They are not giving us what they say they will and deffinitely NOT living up to their reputation. I think they do owe us more than we've gotten.<BR/><BR/>Either make it better, or pull the site. What we've gotten lately shouldn't use the same name and website because it robs previous writers of their hard work. And for those of you who say I should contribute instead of complain, I have tried. <BR/><BR/>What else do you want me to do, shut up? Ok, I will, post ended.post endednoreply@blogger.com
