life after debate

[William E Newnam]

Dear community,

I take responsibility for the latest of controversies. 

Professor Reiter ran his announcement past me before he posted.

He asked me if I thought it was okay.

I said yes.

I saw it as a simple announcement to let debaters know that there is
both a field of study and a program that they might be interested in.

I did not think that it was controversial, but informational. I did not
see as proselytizing, but rather as informational

I apologize if anyone is offended.  I saw it as no different than
announcements such as you are welcome at graduate school here,
announcements of positions to coach and/or teach high school,
announcements regarding CSIS internships, or a variety of other
announcments pertaining to fields which debaters MIGHT be interesed in
that are frequently posted on the list.

If this was inappropriate I am to blame.

Please direct all venom to me personally.  I am sure Professor Reiter
intended no offense.

And by the way,  lighten up out there folks.
