You just HAD to make sure that your campus protest was more dramatic than ours, didn’t you, NYU?
Actual byline: Fernanda Diaz, April 28, 2009.
Bonus: After MEALAC Department, Bari Weiss and Jen Spyra take on Miriam Datskovsky as next worthy foe.

@dear lord You only expose your own ignorance of social dynamics by posting comments like that.
@dear leftists people who disagree with you are not automatically “ignorant”. please consult a dictionary for the definition of this word.
@expansion I feel no guilt at all. The expansion should proceed ahead of schedule. The faster we get rid of those disgusting protestors, the better off Columbia (and the world) will be.
@Douchebag …is really the only appropriate title for you.
@lala What I want to know is, why aren’t they protesting at City Hall? Why not Bloomberg’s place on 5th Ave.?
@Hey! What about the sensitive straight guys who cry but also enjoy beautiful shaved/unshaved vaginas? That said, shaved is just easier to go down on, which Miriam clearly dislikes. So wouldn’t she advocate not shaving? In either case, being a sensitive straight man, I’m confused…Should I start crying now????
@okay can we please ban the phrase “shaved vagina” once and for all? barring some very strange abnormality which I’m not even sure is possible, it does not exist. please.
@laughing did anyone else notice that in one of the photos in the article about the manhattanville protest (specifically, the photo on the 2nd page), there’s a woman carrying a poster against… “colubia”?
@even better check out the one sign that says “stop columbia’s land theft plan against minority community !!!”
clearly not the sort of people who place much value in an institution of higher education…
@pool boy As a pool I am offended by their use of the term “flamboyantly gay pool boys.” I am not flamboyantly gay. I am a closet homosexual pool boy.
@miriam takedown Could they have at least also mentioned that her columns were boring/pointless? I mean what they said was right but regardless of your views they’re just objectively bad.
@... bari weiss and jen spyra rock!
@proud friend SO — Fern has one first place in a national column writing contest, further proving that you guys are all tools:
http://www.columnists.com/index.php?ID=58
@really? really? fern really ONE first place? is that a clever play on words or some special livejournal-speak or are YOU the tool?
@Nostalgic Who will join me on the Brooklyn Bridge?
@fan i vote bari weiss and jen spyra for spec sex columnist(s)! their editorial is not just the best thing in the spec TODAY; it may be the best thing in the spec EVER. down with miriam icantspellherlastname!
@seconded Yeah Bari and Jen!
@shira indeed – really good response, there. I’m so glad they wrote it.
@Specgirl I thought that Morgan’s column was spectacular. No silly shout-outs, no lessons learned. Just pure, raw emotion. I was blown away. Y’all just wish you could write like that…
@to be fair... Bowg’s headline did not insult morgan’s writing style…it just pointed out content similarities between this column and fernanda diaz’s columns. The only way that this headline is insulting to morgan’s talent as a writer is if you consider fernanda to be untalented–then the comparison is insulting. So, specgirl, you seem insulted–is that the spec’s official stance?
@Specgirl I wasn’t responding to the headline. I was responding to one of the previous comments, which described the column as “worthless”.
And no, my comments do not reflect Spec’s “official stance” on the headline, Fernanda, or the column. They solely reflect the views of one Spec reader who was very, very impressed by Ms. Seller’s column. (Geez…)
@re: to be fair... yes, Anonymous Comment 7, the Spec’s official stance on Fernanda is mild defensiveness.
–not actually a speccie.
–not actually serious.
@Dave Why has no one linked to Bari’s take-down of Miriam? It’s by far the most worthwhile and amusing thing in today’s Spec.
@re: dave thanks for bringing that up–i had missed it, and it’s AMAZING.

@Here it is http://www.columbiaspectator.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2006/04/28/4451c5463c3c7
@moph I actually disagree
Maybe because I’m friends with both Rachael and Morgan, so I hear the columns in their voices, but I really enjoyed both of them.
an observation from reading bwog’s quick spec regularly: it seems like everybody dislikes 50% of the Spec pieces on any given day, but we can never agree on which 50%.
@Spec senior Actually, both senior farewell columns on the editorial page were pretty worthless today. As someone’s who’s recently written one of these farewell columns, I can tell you that they aren’t supposed to be entirely supposed to be about how great you are, or how much you’ll miss your friends.
We’ve all learned a lot in four years, and we’ve all been in neat groups. Tell me something new, senior columnists!
@I don't know I’m not sure if that column would deserve said byline. It was a little sappy, but I don’t think it was so bad.
