LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Students need to step outside the Allegheny bubble
Whoa there, you’ve got some opinionated Allegheny kids. All of you have like, opinions, man.
Awesome things to have, by the way.
Don’t just throw heavy opinions around without expecting other opinions. There are lots of ego flowing from these articles. What I see are lots of accusatory opinions trying to incite big issues rather than articles focused on addressing them. The subsequent responses does nothing for the cause. If you really have an issue with something, go big or go home. Opinion articles in The Campus these days are really nothing more but un-researched blog rants that garner predictable comments that lead to more tangential ego battles. Ho hum. Bloggr and Tumblr have way prettier layouts. Make sure your opinion articles meets the standards of a real newspaper op-editorial, and less like a passionate LiveJournal entry.
I sure enjoy life outside of the Campusphere.

Dear Amy,
How dare you insult the layout of The Campus website. You have no right to make objective statements about the visual appeal of this web page as if you have some higher knowledge of aesthetic value. Your conceit is unappreciated.
Love,

I think this has to be the BEST opinion piece I’ve read to date!
I can’t agree with you more.
It is the Allegheny way to cause a commotion… and then do nothing about it.
And why should you? You did your duty by making noise in the first place. Let it be the responsibility of someone else to lead your crusade. Allegheny. Way.
A hasty generalization. Also, what noise(s)? What crusade(s)?
How about making sure your grammar is correct first?
yo dawg this is an irrelevant red herring that contributes nothin 2 da discussion. dont be so pedantic
The author is the one talking about standards of “real newspaper op-editorial[s].” I wouldn’t mind, but the grammatical errors are simple subject-verb disagreements. It’s hard to articulate a point when there are such glaring mistakes in a piece.
