This is the most ridiculous I have ever heard. I guess this guy wanted to re-enact "Mean Girls"." How horrible of a person do you have to be to post comments and pics of people, defaming their character and your integrity. The students that are being defamed may come back with avengeance, and I am talking about the kind that we see on the news.
Wake up people...this is reality. We have to stop treating our brothers and sisters like nothing. We all deserve respect.

Apparently, Gossip isn't Always True and Sometimes it Hurts People
The Chronicle of Higher Education reported that Matt Ivester of campus gossip blog JuicyCampus.com has posted a call for a ceasfire from posters. Ivester says he's received complaints from people claiming to be defamed. He also calls some of the posts "mean-spirited."
Mean-spirited is an understatment. Some of the comments include slurs based on sexual oreintation, claims that specific students have STDs and other juvenile name calling. I'm not going to link to comments or quote them because I refuse to perpetuate such hate. Which, according to Ivester, is "not Juicy."
Ivester describes "Juicy" as "the topics that are most important, interesting and entertaining to you."
To which I ask, since when has gossip ever been important?
