The e-mail came over as a general spam through the uniserity e-mail server.

I would get a copy of your college computer center's Accepable Use Policy and have a lawyer go over it with a fine-tooth comb. She may well have not only had no right to spam the entire university, it may be cause for her to lose her Internet access privileges, if not her job. Her access privs are purely up to the computer center, by the way; the academic side has no say.

If nothing else, I would be EXTREMELY surprised if your school's AUP did not fully allow you to respond to an unsolicited email, provided your repsonse was not in any way threatening or sexually harassing, which your response was not.

I have sent it to the local media but no reply.

I wouldn't count on them. Someone may bite, but they may not. (Though it would be best to call the local media's newsrooms directly, don't just send email. I've worked in several newsrooms and know that most emails to the general "contact us" mailbox can sit there for weeks before anyone even notices them.) And I again suggest emailing people like O'Reilly and/or anybody at Newsmax or CNSnews.com. One of them probably will bite.

you're right about the local media, if you're referring to the newspaper, which is the toledo blade, as liberal and twisted as they come.

he needs representation, however. someone a bit more slick with the rhetoric. they will railroad this guy if all of you start emailing her. they have a new president over there who hasn't been tested as far as student rights.

he needs someone who represents a cause bigger than himself, preferably someone who can spell correctly.
