I agree Naly D, to suggest otherwise would be imperialist. And I don’t like imperialists.

Eagle, I am in now way trying to attack VUWSA, Salient, or any of its executives/writers. I simply wished to put forward the way some of their executive were seen by others at the conference (ie more than just my lone self). It was however obvious that some of these organisations were demonised in subsequent posts which were made about NZUSA and I was simply attempting to present a fair and balanced view, as my journalistic mind implores me to. Although I do agree and apologise, I should have stopped short of defamation.

And on that note, its ‘misogynistic’. I don’t think a Powhiri could be described as misogynistic by one who knew the procedures and protocols of such an event.

“it was a political forum, you are SUPPOSED to heckle”

Just because many people are only capable of engaging in politics in a childish unconstructive manner, doesn’t mean that everyone has to be childish and unconstructive.

Lol naly d, now you are really scraping the bottom of the barrell to attack conrad/salient/VUWSA/VUW.

Whats scandlous about the exec eating what they like. Its a free world, someone has to patronise KFC. Whats scandalous about exec members having a sneaky drink when from all acounts all other universities were doing it as well. One persident of one organisation even did a walk of shame that evening….

Whats insensitive about not showing up to a powhiri which is mysoginstic? And it was a political forum, you are SUPPOSED to heckle.

Grow up.

Conrad, you forgot to mention the late-night fast food runs the VUWSA executive went on (encouraging healthy habits, I guess), the consumption of alcohol in a place where this was barred, the theft of a sign protesting against the consumption of alcohol, the fact the VUWSA executive were late to the Powhiri (if you want to gain respect for ones sexuality, shouldn’t you respect other cultures yourself?) as well as several other days when VUWSA were either late or didn’t show up. Oh and the fact that the president of one organisation had to move in order to hear politicians on the political panel, thanks to one of the VUWSA executive constantly interrupting.

Speaking from a white, male, heteronormative perspective, one of the most disriminated against in this lesbocrat dominated world, I comend Mr. Reyners (although Gay) for the courage and conviction in his descion to cover the Liarbor-Breeding-Ground that is student politics and NZUSA.
