about that comment I posted last Thursday.

I commented about an event sponsored by the Young Americans for Freedom that happened in my department's building.

Upon reflection, I shouldn't have used disparaging language against students at my own institution. I regret that.

(Not saying I like what the organization stands for - only that I crossed a line when I spoke about the members themselves. I've got an ethical duty to avoid doing that.)

Then take another couple of chill pills.

There’s one or two emails I’ve regretted. Fortunately, DU allows you to go back and self-delete if you want, which is a nice thing.
