Author’s Response

I’d like to thank Ben for his comment on my article; it’s always nice to hear that someone is actually reading. I am grateful to The Scribe for allotting the student body an academic forum for debate on our ambiguous issues. In response to your comments on the degree of factual coverage, I object. I can assure you as the writer of the article there was no motive of propaganda. I have no ties with any of the organizations promoted with the exception of course to the University of Bridgeport. My question to you as a reader is to define objectivity. My article relived a well-prepared picture for those absent at the event and provided a decent overlook of many of the controversies present. True, there was a lack of controversial grumble; nevertheless, my focus was the event and the happenings at hand. Again I’m happy you decided to comment on the editorializing. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t bother me. But, in regard to your issues, there was no rhetoric, no refusal to comment, no intent to maintain public happiness, and certainly no propaganda in the article I wrote. As a writer, I maintain set goals for each expose. Obviously my aim and yours were different. My suggestion to you as an informed reader would be to pick up a pen and write the piece you’d like to read– otherwise, expect a different point of view.
