Following its publishment online and its promotion on Facebook, random disgruntled adults took to the comments section. Each commenter made some rather astute observations. One commenter noticed how sex culture bears a strong link with international concerns.
How will they survive? Another commenter utilized level-headed, mature conversational tactics to address her concern with the article to The Purple writers without seeming combative. In response to these criticisms, The Sewanee Purple staff held an emergency meeting to address these blaring issues. Editors and contributing writers sat around in a circle, explaining how immediately their minds were changed, how immediately they realized their error.
Another unidentified student expanded on this point. Moving forward, our only consideration should be maintaining our fragile reputation. Honestly, if even a handful of readers were offended by our content and stopped reading, we might have to halt circulation altogether. It is time to cater exclusively to miscellaneous adults and alumni from now on. Contributing writers and editors at The Purple decided that the only imaginable way to move forward was to issue a formal apology.
They spent hours drafting it, laboring over word choice and syntax. They can get easily confused by mixed signals! Barry, I recommend you go find yourself some context and perspective in the previous articles and their discussions.
Hilarious, and sort of sad. Sewanee belongs both to the past and the present, but the present rules because it is alive and the past is on its way out. May I suggest to my peers and subsequent classes that they accede gracefully to what the young ones are making of the institution in these troubled times and stop sounding like constipated old grouches? Sooner than they imagine⦠perhaps next year. Stop it with all of the side agendas and focus on your education. This campus is riddled with distraction by all sorts of unrelated agendas that have nothing to do with its true mission.
