#1 Good name for a prison.

Snark of the day.

#2 I bet if they ever post the list of reports it reads like something out of the onion and further I suspect it nearly breaks the internet as non-students pile on to read and mock.

#3 If someone reports a microaggression, could said report be interpreted as a microaggression?

#5 OK, Fred. We need a microagression meter, with a logarithmic scale so we can see all the way from mega to femto agression. Kinda like a dB meter. Damn! Autobartender could build up one if he is on line.

#7 Too bad they weren't as sensitive to the victims of their pederast coaching staff.

#9 As the resident Penn State alumni here (in my handle)let me mention that the PSU alumni base is still quite fragmented from the Sandusky scandal and most folks have settled on where they place the blames and for what. For the record, I have looked at the facts and the hundreds of nameless trained professionals who signed off that it was a good idea to place at risk kids with the former coach have more responsibility than the old school football coach- but I feel no need to try to change opinions like Sgt above any longer...I face the same sniggering every time I go to an away game!
But to get to my bigger point, how does PSU plan to mediate between my POV and Sgt. D.T. above? I could easily consider that a MA... he/she could consider mine a MA. If we meet on campus and both express our opinions, who is the white hat and who is the black hat?
If I do trigger a micro aggression, please accept my micro apology... and as for PSUs Dean of fundraising? Please look for my micro donation in the mail.

#10 the guys in the black hats are the guys that failed to take appropriate action when they should have known that Sandusky was buggering little boys. The guys in the black hats are the guys that were and continue to be more concerned about a
Alumni funding and sports teams than the welfare of children who never had a chance to pay for college or become an Alumni donor.

#11 Sorry Sgt. Who are these people you speak of? State of Pennsylvania sure hasn't found a good reason to go to trial for anyone " not the monster" for over 4 years now? Educate me please...

#12 Does the above exchange require a new "micro aggression incident report" or do the comments get carried forward on the original, even though I don't yet have a incident request number? Is there an 800 number I can call?
