Now that we don't have to worry about idiotic anonymous posters, we can actually have some real discussion here. The impression I've gotten is that the administration supports the site and the concept of providing a free speech forum for students. However, that support is limited to that which does not expose the University to financial drains such as a lawsuits. It sounds like the most active opponents to having a free speech forum are students themselves. Students are the ones proposing a highly censored forum so that offensive comments are deleted quickly.
Students are the ones threatening to sue to bring the site down.
Students are the ones who are so afraid that a free speech forum might somehow be embarrassing that they refuse to give it more than token support. True, there are some students who would like to see a site that is truly dedicated to free speech. But these students seem to be a distinct minority and they are being overwhelmed by the constant barrage from other students. Well, if they care so little about their rights, maybe they really don't deserve to have them. It's just too bad that they take away everyone else's rights in the process.
