This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

To his credit, Captain Kavanaugh of the ND police by jrdjr84
called and discussed it with me. The athletic department and alumni office both received my complaint. Kavanuagh seemed to think there's some vital reason to treat people poorly on the empty campus on a Sunday afternoon. I hope at the very least they will re-examine that aspect of it. It makes no sense to handle things the same way on Sunday as on Friday, when employees are there and parking lots are full. Even in those cases, if they really wanted to take care of guests who travel distances for camps, they should find a way to empty a parking lot or two by noon (maybe send employees home early on a summer Friday?) so guests can be treated well.
