that in my dispassionate column. i think he was effective in neutralizing that. but upon reflection, things that he said, like for example, oh, and we said -- this girl whose name i won't say because i think she's been through enough, alum -- alumnus. that didn't mean anything. that just meant we were friends. that's a lie. that's a lie. that was what they were doing l and they were basically calling her easy or a slut or whatever the term was in the '80s. i went to high school in the '70s. it would have been a slut. maybe in the '80s it was easy. anyway, they were calling her a bad name. they had a poem about how easy she was. there were 14 of them that had their little renate alumnus line. it was hurtful and mean and terrible. instead of owning it and saying that was terrible and apologizing, he tried to tell us all that, oh, no, we were just being nice. we thought we were friends with her and that was our way of being sweet. what does he think we are, stupid? so, i was very offended by that.
