The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

Definitely do not mention the PPC or any sort of organization in E-mails - that's just begging for trouble.

The E-mail address is posted in public, on the school's official website. The act of sending E-mail to that address definitely shouldn't be illegal.

The other legal issue one could run into is harassment - Massachusetts law (Chapter 265, Section 43A) defines harassment as "willfully and maliciously [engaging] in a knowing pattern of conduct or series of acts over a period of time directed at a specific person, which seriously alarms that person and would cause a reasonable person to suffer substantial emotional distress"

Interpret that as you will - I could see someone making a whiny brat plea in front of a court, and given the way this idiot is responding to E-mails by forwarding them to the police, I wouldn't put it past him. However, felony harassment is something that's up to the prosecutor's office to indite for, rather than the principal of a high school, so I doubt anything would come of it.

So, yes, it could conceivably get us into trouble, just like conceivably, you could get hit by lightning while roller-skating. I'd give them about equal odds. Just for a bit of protection, you might want to include more in the E-mail than just "meep" - something like
"I protest your ban on the word "meep" and the associated infringement on the students' first amendment rights to free speech. While I understand and agree that disruptions to classes are intolerable, I believe that banning the use of a word is both overreacting and ineffective - what the meep will you do if they start using "the" or "math" instead?"
should lower the odds of legal action to something resembling those of getting hit by lightning while roller-skating indoors.

Is there any conceivable way this could get us into any real trouble? Because if not I am SO joining in.

I give you this.

dms22@njit.edu please. sorry for delay

Do friends, even friends like U2, call each other 'love'?
I came across this in a fic.

I'll just, uh, leave this here.

Ah, High School. What a bastion of civil rights you are. In fact, what a bastion of civil rights yo have ALWAYS been.

(Blame Windows7, Acer, and other computer screwups for the fact that I'm still separated from all my precious computer files. That's why I don't have access to them yet :( )

... essentially lowering the tone. Lowering the tone speedily and violently, usually. And it's a device that's been used since the days of Aristophanes and which I personally adore :)

For example:

'Oh Lycus, lord and hero, let me turn to you in prayer:
It really is remarkable how many tastes we share.
You love the tears of supplicants, no sound can please you more,
And that is why you choose to live close by the courtroom door.
Have pity on your neighbour now, and lend your aid divine,
And I'll promise not to piddle in the reeds around your shrine.'

A girl can only take so many fandoms on :), and I've managed to avoid having to spork anything in Tortall so far (given I've sporked everything from LOTR through Harry Potter and Discworld to Jurassic Park and Real World bandslash, it's a bloody miracle :D )

So don't worry, I'll be avoiding Goldenlake for now. Even though the Kel/Neal/Dom Mindelan Sandwich could be a psychologically interesting little idea (or pure and unadulterated snarky awesomesauce crack) and I feel like I'm going to be wrestling off the plotbunnies very shortly ...

Someone give me the Principal's email, if you find it.
I want to exercise my constitutional rights.

Doesn't make it any less awful. Kill it DEAD.

That's just stupid. The disruption will take place regardless.

Erm... no. Sorry. If I had the time and knew anything about websites, then I would, certainly, but I don't. I meant with getting all the data. Sorry :(

I don't even remember the author explaining how the ship malfunctioned. I suspect the all consuming power of teh gay trying to set up a convenient sex scene by making him crash on the LOTR planet

Damn, Cruel trick plods along. I just wanted to get to the obligatory squick scene so i could make a snarky comment

That's... unusual.

I'm afraid to look at those now.

I briefly glanced at the first one. Star Wars ships do not mafunction like that! Not even if extragalactic space insects eat holes in the engines!

sounds good. got a link?
