(09:44:42 PM) Blake Elias: wait eric did you delete my post
(09:45:01 PM) Eric Han: dude i'd really appreciate it if you didn't hate
(09:45:08 PM) Eric Han: i've been working pretty freaking hard
(09:45:17 PM) Eric Han: getting his information
(09:45:21 PM) Eric Han: setting up the suit day
(09:45:24 PM) Eric Han: i do not appreciate it at all
(09:45:30 PM) Eric Han: and i'm going to tell you straight up
(09:45:35 PM) Eric Han: that your complaint is just not going to work
(09:45:39 PM) Eric Han: when a class of 800 votes
(09:45:41 PM) Eric Han: for someone
(09:45:57 PM) Eric Han: so even if personally i dislike your criticism of the speaker
(09:46:01 PM) Eric Han: just on a technical basis
(09:46:06 PM) Eric Han: patrick graham ain't happening
(09:46:13 PM) Eric Han: sorry.
(09:46:21 PM) Blake Elias: yes i understand that, i am in favor of democracy
(09:46:47 PM) Blake Elias: i put my faith in the people's vote, and if everyone still wants nph, i am fine with that
(09:47:14 PM) Blake Elias: but i also value an open forum where people can discuss matters like these
(09:47:38 PM) Blake Elias: and not have a couple people at the top control what gets heard or not
(09:48:34 PM) Eric Han: blake, normally, i have no problem with you voicing out an opinion
(09:48:39 PM) Eric Han: but i'm in a pretty shitty mood
(09:48:43 PM) Eric Han: so you'll have to bear with me
(09:48:56 PM) Eric Han: also, the fact that john mennell fucked up one of our signature sheets
(09:49:03 PM) Eric Han: is going to delay our sending of the letters
(09:49:24 PM) Eric Han: so that makes me even angrier considering i've been putting off my common app, supplement, all that college stuff to work on this for the grade
(09:49:33 PM) Eric Han: i apologize for censuring your comment
(09:50:15 PM) Blake Elias: ok i'm sorry about that stuff, i know you have a lot of work and all
(09:51:19 PM) Blake Elias: with your permission i'd like to repost it.  i feel that even if paul graham is not our speaker, since the wheels are already in motion, i think it would still be useful for people to see this.
(09:51:26 PM) Blake Elias: even if it just means they go read his essays online
(09:51:34 PM) Blake Elias: since most ppl probably have not heard of him
(09:51:48 PM) Eric Han: dude
(09:51:49 PM) Eric Han: not now
(09:52:05 PM) Eric Han: just like i really do not appreciate it right now
(09:54:40 PM) Blake Elias: i'm sorry i don't follow your reasoning...it shouldn't change anything for you, as you said mostly everyone still wants nph.
(09:55:31 PM) Eric Han: blake, the reasoning is pretty simple. i'm pissed off right now. if i deleted your comment 5 minutes ago, i'm probably going to delete it again. i'm just being honest with you.
