Ned, you better send a thank-you note to Aliza for getting you off the hook!

To #1 Great post!

Now that, ladies and gentlemen is wit! Good old fashioned Yale dining hall style wit.

Yea your forgiven. Bigger fish to fry...unless the whole abortion story was Ned's idea to take the attention off of himself.

If it was all "simply a lie" and "exaggerations," then why did you say it?

I'm still waiting for a nice long editorial about what athletes and athletics bring to a school.

well done, Ned!!

You're the one who is fueling the negative stereotypes. You want Yale to be united? Than go out and support athletes the same way they go and support their a capella friends or their roommates who do danceworks! Stop calling them out on stuff that you're probably guilty of yourself. Your apology (or lack their of) was about as well written as your first piece.

I agree with post #6. Well said.

Ned, You remain, in the eyes of hundreds, a liar (on both poles of this issue) and a coward. Though your apology was the next logical step in what i hope is an unsuccessful return to a normal life on this campus, that does not mean that anyone should forgive you. Especially considering it was written using language that was so disingenuous and pandering.

At some point I would love to sit down with you and compare our respective worth in the eyes of this university. You know where to find me.

Hmmm, last I saw, particularily on this one issue, "the university" is not of a single mind. Fulmer is a coward and arguably a "troll" (altogther too inarticulate to be called sophist), but at least I've heard of Ned Fulmer and the debate his writing spawned -- who the F is Sam Fox?

Sam Fox:

Are you still that bitter about Ned's column? Please. You may disagree with Ned, and you may be right to feel offended, but this isn't such a big deal as to keep holding a grudge. He made a mistake, and he fessed up to it. I doubt you're perfect, either, and I bet you've offended some people too. Just because Ned made a mistake doesn't mean you should wish that he has a bad experience at Yale in the future. To do so undermines this whole conversation. As a former Yale Bulldog, I disagreed with Ned, too, but forgiveness, not continuing spite, is what we need. You'll be a lot happier as a person if you learn to forgive.

Good job Ned. It's extremely refreshing and encouraging to see someone, especially at Yale, with the courage to publicly admit they made a mistake. One could only hope the administration would ever demonstrate any shred of humility.

I agree with Sam Fox.

To #4:

I think the rhetoric behind what athletics bring to a school is irrelevant to this issue. The question is whether athletes screw around more or less than the average Yalie.
