this was on his livejournal too. i commented this on his latest entry. so whoever the fuck wants to say that i dont have the balls to say this shit to his face could suck my dick.
fuck you oscar. not only did you insult, yes, INSULT, everybody who contributed to this issue, but you made us seem like assholes. ill tell you something. i worked my fucking ass off for this issue. i designed that insight spread 5 times. it got erased or messed with by ppl who shouldnt be touching my shit 5 times. i cried almost every day of class because of the utter frustration that built up inside me every time the new advisor tried to censor us, disrespect us, or change what we stand for. i totally respect you as a human being and for all those who say that we (highlight staff members) contradict ourselves when we say that we believe in freedom of speech, you can kiss my fucking cuban ass. i sat with each of the administrators with tears streaming down my cheeks begging them to give us back our freedom of speech. its perfectly fine for you all to critique us. hell, we do it in class after every issue and quite frankly, i butcher the paper with highlighters and pens pointing out every single mistake, but it really hurts me to know that you can go ahead and insult the writers as well. were your friends and if you had sat down for two seconds and thought of teh consequences of this post, you probably would have realized that it wasnt the best damn idea to make fun of the ppl you know are going to read it. am i right? i love your posts and for the most part i find them both entertaining and humorous, but i have never liked the fact taht you make fun of ppl. there arent many ppl in the world that feel you shouldnt insult others behind their backs and it is perfectly understandable that youre not one of those ppl, but please next time consider the pain that your words will bring to those you supposedly call your friends. you can say whatever you wanna say about the paper but dont make fun of the people who run it becuz you have no idea as to what we are going through. its true. most of us DIDNT do much last year, but some of us did earn awards for themselves. i did. i love writing. it is my passion. it is what i am going to be doing for the rest of my life. im going to accept criticism for as long as i write but when it comes to friends, i would expect just that- criticism, not insults. for one second, just one second, put yourself in my position. im a 17 year old girl that just genuinely doesnt like socializing. i dont like talking to people becuz quite frankly, ppl dont get me. still, i pour my heart into everything i do. my opinions, my ideas, my thoughts, they all go into this paper every issue and im proud of that. now, all of that is being taken away from me. our ideas DONT matter anymore. we will sit in front of this teacher wailing our arms in his face with tears covering our faces yelling out his name and he still wont listen to a word we have to say. he doesnt care about this paper. he cares about his reputation. he doesnt care about our passions. he cares about his job and the respect that comes along with replacing a legendary teacher like feldman. she WAS what made our newspaper great and it will sure as hell never be what it was before, but were trying as hard as we can to convince this man that we know what we have to do and that he should trust us. i told him straight out, "you make me feel inferior. what i say to you goes through one ear and right out the other." the newspaper HAS become crap and we all know that, but give us some credit for trying as hard as we have. ive spent entire weekends there, missed important classes, stayed afterschool until dark, stayed up late only in a sorry attempt to make this paper better than it is. so dont insult what we do. if you think it can be better then tell us why. but dont go around and publicize the fact that you think were ignorant or pathetic or dumb cuz its further from the truth than anybody not in highlights this year will ever realize. for those of you uninformed commentators, stay out of what you will never know anything about. i respect the fact that you have opinions, but dont go out and bash us. you say that we dont let you express your opinions, well go ahead and do that. just keep in mind that were gonna continue to do the same. if you bitch at us, well bitch at you. its a vicious cycle and i am way too old to be dealing with this type of shit. im done with reading your ignorant responses and your lame attempts at making it seem as though you love oscar to death. ill tell you this much and as sad as it may seem, if he fuckin died tomorrow, you would cry maybe one tear and completely forget about it. if he never spoke to you again, you would forget about all of the "special memories" you have now. now go ahead... go onto my livejournal and respond that if i died tomorrow nobody would care. i fuckin know it and ill fuckin flaunt the fact that only a few ppl would actually care. i have real friends, ones that dont insult me. so fuck off and go to hell.
