So to be clear: your position is that there is no legal issue here, and that the SLS Dean is utilizing authoritarian tactics when he says it is a legal issue?

- kelseyfrog 4y agoWhat I'm saying is that there is no reason to give a legal framing primacy. What I'm getting back in response is, "There is one true way to frame this and it is legal." It's great that people think that, but I'm simply not going to accept that without justification. It's the difference between fighting a fair match in an arena and having a conversation about what arena or if an arena at all is even the right way to think about this. I simply won't accept without justification that a legal framing is legitimate without a case being made beyond, "well, it's the best we have, or if you have something better, say it." Those responses always display a failure of creative imagination.
- khazhoux 4y agoFWIW I have no problem with any of that. Sure, the legal framing might be wrong. What I took offense at was calling a point of debate an "authoritarian" tactic.
