We have found the writing of Ian Nelson to be repeatedly offensive and ill informed. We believe that every writer has the right to publish their own opinion yet there is a difference between informed opinion and nonsensical ranting (hogwash). We believe this to be hogwash and we also believe that this is self-evident. We can't even tell you how many times we scoffed when we read this. It's terrible. It's ignorant. And it's downright offensive.
As politically active and informed students we are also offended by the newspaper's inclination to print such juvenile and sophomoric material. There are clearly better educated and more talented writers at NYU and the staff should make a more concerned effort to appeal to those people.
We recommend that the newspaper drop Ian Nelson and set him up with a Twitter account, where his ranting will be on par and limited to 140 characters.
