  1. "Crusading religious moralism at work" - on taxing strip clubs to fund sexual assault services, via @MissFLT : bit.ly/KJQM3E
  2. @paulyberk thanks Paul
  3. @paulyberk Agree re. publicising threats. My response, in case you missed it: bit.ly/KJOstv @City_Press @ferialhaffajee
  4. @paulyberk I'd not deride - would be massively unfair. Agree that it's easy to be brave out of firing line. @City_Press @ferialhaffajee
  5. Jilted - what I'd imagine many who bought @City_Press in solidarity this weekend feel.
  6. .@Eusebius with an open letter to @ferialhaffajee (on FB, but visible to non-FB'ers/friends): on.fb.me/KJLEfR
  7. @Just_Lufuno Twitter is not a course support forum. I'm here as a person, not your lecturer.
  8. @thekhoza Good for you. You must be some sort of genius. With an inversely proportional sense of social decorum.
  9. @Just_Lufuno usually high, yes - around 90%. I have no idea if there's hope for you, or anyone else.
  10. @steyngert It's at UCT. Evidence-Based Management. Critical thinking, business ethics. For Commerce students.
  11. With their exam at 5pm today, levels of abuse directed at me by students in the course chatroom is escalating. I blame Brett Murray.
  12. Blogged at Synapses: Did the #Zumaspear bullies win? dlvr.it/1dNg0f
  13. @gargunzola no, @city_press has demonstrated willingness to offend ANC.Whether right/wrong here, that's a uncharitable reading of motivation
  14. Can understand choosing not to display #zumaspear. But to remove it could be sensitivity (often good), or another win for the hypersensitive
  15. @Anatinus Anyway - not actually disagreeing with Peter's column, more wondering about the slippery slope problems.
  16. @Anatinus so we'd be left with an impression of character of skirt-wearer (or Murray). How we respond indicates *our* character.
  17. @Anatinus division, even perhaps anger at disrespect. People would ask skirt-wearer to leave - doubt they'd go to court etc.
  18. @Anatinus Sure, so is just about anything. But on nudity in a mall, agreement level close to 100%, not 50/50%.
