Joan and Melynda,

I am continually amazed at the examples you come up with. You mention that
members of Collegiate Reformed Fellowship "disrupted" the Gay Straight
Alliance meetings. But the students from CRF who attended those meetings
simply attended, introduced themselves when asked, and talked with GSA
members at the post-func at Daylight Donuts. You have a very odd idea of
what it means to disrupt something.

But the really amazing thing is how members of the GSA acted when CRF had
Doug Wilson speak on the "Legacy of Racism: The Dark Closet of Margaret
Sanger and Planned Parenthood." Leaders of the GSA showed up not to
participate in any dialogue, but just to bring mock versions of the CRF
flyer with lines like "Legacy of Racism: The Dark Closet of Doug Wilson."
They stood outside the room, and delivered their own brand of heckling and
disruption. They didn't stay, they just wanted to do some of that boycotting
and disruption stuff that you guys always like to do.

Oh, and by the way, they are still welcome at CRF meetings. Unfortunately,
the same cannot be said about the GSA.

Cheers,

Aaron
