Dear Michele,

I received your voicemail this afternoon regarding my blog entry
about the controversy involving you, Medill freshmen, and The
Facebook.  To be frank, I don't understand what you're asking of
me.  I don't understand which comments on my site are ofeending
you, and I definitely don't understand which ones you're picking
out as sexually offensive.  I gather from a sampling of your work
online that you are rather media savvy; I think you can
appreciate, then, that my blog entry was actually  rather tame in
its tone.

It's true that I wasn't in your class, and perhaps I don't have
"the full story."  I've read what was printed in the Daily, which
seems to be the only information online about it.  If you'd like
to tell me the full story, I'm willing to listen.  However, I
must make it clear that my entry has little to do with you and
much more to do with the stance you've taken against private
expression on a student-oriented website.  I can't condone that,
particularly as a NU alum.

I should mention that I've found your comments in the wake of
this story rather disturbing.  I was particularly unsettled by
your assertion that, "(The Facebook) may be your generation's
mode of communication, but my generation still controls the
consequences."  Big Brother is indeed watching.

Regards,
Tom
