clairobscur is French. I understood his post to mean that ‘mongol’ was used in French as ‘mongoloid’ was in English to refer to Down’s.
For this quote
I apologize. It was not intended to mislead but is clumsily constructed. It was not in the article that the phrase “the librarian” was used but in consulting the dean of the libraries. This is according to the dean himself who not only referenced the interviewer (I presume Mike) referring to information received from “the librarian” (which the dean said, quotation marks and all, in his e-mail) but demanded to know who the librarian was. When he was, mistakenly, told that it was me (the inquiry found that it was a male with glasses and facial hair working at night and I’m the only librarian that matches that description) I was called in for a “discussion” with members of the administration, and while I hated to rat out a student worker (really, I did) I felt I had no other choice. Even then I’m not sure they believed me until the student admitted that it was him.
I also apologize for stating that the original headline said LIBRARIES OKAY WITH PORN. Mike is correct- the actual wording in the print headline was indeed Porn OK in UA Libraries. This was an honest mistake on my part but I honestly don’t think that it changes anything- the headline was still misleading and the inclusion of library employees and students in a photograph with a XXX image taken in a library that bans press photography without express authorization was an invasion of privacy and has caused humiliation to the (quite proper) female librarian in the picture (who is totally identifiable especially in the enlarged online photo. I feel she is owed an apology. One of the student workers in the picture is a devout Southern Baptist and also wasn’t terribly amused. (In total fairness I should perhaps mention that the 60 something male librarian, seen walking by the elevators, thought his inclusion was hysterical and had the picture blown up and hung in his office next to the headline.)
I will also state that I believe Mike when he says that he did not bring the picture to the party himself and that is indeed a prank on the comments list. The comment was believed, however, and has been repeated by other students who are either pranking themselves or knowingly “bearing false witness” or are similarly wrong.
The rest of my comments stand, however, particularly those about the original headline being misleading. (I will not express a judgment as to whether it was willful or not, though I do have an opinion on the matter.) Occurring as it did on University Honor’s Day when the campus and library hosted many visitors who read the paper (given out in large stands at the library) it was particularly embarassing and caused a lot of aggravation to the library staff for what is pretty much a standard research library policy of free information access.
It is also an objective fact that the new editor of the student paper is an unabashed theocrat. Among other editorials he has stated that the Bible should determine dress code for women, labelled “radical” feminism as “Satanic” and used Revelations to explain why Verichip ID is a sign of the end times (and that’s just the beginning). It is not paranoia for employees in a library in a state that only last year had to prep for a bill seeking to ban all books with homosexual or other immoral themes from every state supported library to be anxious over an article with a misleading headline in a school paper managed by a student who refers to homosexuals as degenerates and the Methodist Church as heretics for considering gay marriage (and who I would bet both kidneys has never once used the word arsenokoites in a sentence and wouldn’t be the least bit persuaded that its true definition has anything to do with what the Pauline verse he quotes in the editorial states).
Every one of my family lines was in Alabama (rural Alabama at that) by the dawn of the Civil War. Some lines go back to before Alabama was a state (1819) and some to before it was even lived in by whites. I know this state, I am not knocking all Alabamians or Fundamentalists in general when I say there’s a lot of insanity down here on the topic of religion and sex. This article’s headline and the accompanying photograph were, intentionally or not, irresponsible and misleading. In the state where in the past few years Eric Rudolph committed murder, where a Catholic priest and Protestant ministers have openly called for the murder of abortionists, where Billy Jack Gaither was tortured and burned (and people made jokes about it the next day) and Roy Moore calls lesbians abominations from the highest states in the land and Gerald Allen cries for censorship and psychotics rant on church message boards about revenge for burned churches (I won’t link to the sites for obvious reasons but you can google them up) and so on and so on, linking a state supported institution in print and full color to sexual immorality and the young is not a matter to be taken terribly lightly. I don’t pretend to be coming into work in kevlar and looking over my shoulder, but please understand why this (along with the more personal matter that I got grilled for something I didn’t do- nothing wrong with personal vendettas if they’re for a good cause 
) makes this a serious matter to me.
Point: Don’t do drugs and do what your mama tells you.
I could be wrong, but I believe “analyzation” is something that happens quite often in a certain subset of pr0n videos…
Not that I’d know from personal experience or anything… 
Well, in total fairness I must reply that if you blew it up enough, we’d ALL be hung.
