I couldn't take it and left a job partly because of it.

Not just a racist lean but also hatred and disdain for anyone who wouldn't worship (read compy) with whatever bullshit was being asked of them.

There was, for example, a status code casually used to apply to students who shall not be returning after a suspension.

"DNR". Charming, isn't it? They said it stood for "do not readmit" but they know better than that, really.

The police thing is worse but taken together we see that authority figures in our society are seriously fucking up.

Well, it's worth fixing because the archives from 2011 are getting screwed up. That means lost post! Leopolds Ghost Dec 2014 #4

We will need to figure out what to do about the DU2 archives! I'm sure the posts are still there... Leopolds Ghost Dec 2014 #6
