This is troubling. He had to do some research and find out exactly what her name was.<BR/><BR/>MaCfayden's email (while indefensible) was off the cuff and he probably took about 2 seconds thinking about writing it.<BR/><BR/>Nartey on the other hand had to go to the trouble of finding getting info about Pressler's family.<BR/><BR/>If the message weren't meant as a threat, why not just ask the coach how he would feel if his daughter were a victim. Actually naming Janet Lynn is over the line.<BR/><BR/>I wrote this earlier and it still stands, Pressler is a better man than I am. If I had gotten that email I would have done some research of my own, on Chauncey Nartey. I would have tracked him down and had a face to face talk with him and if he didn't understand my position clearly, I'd have more than a face to face talk with him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31806061.post-28889075368732645692007-06-05T15:12:00.000-04:002007-06-05T15:12:00.000-04:00To 2:33 Do you really expect me to believe that Co...To 2:33 <BR/><BR/>Do you really expect me to believe that Coleman's investigation, the DPD and the press missed a reported incident of a girl running naked from 610 Buchanon just 6 months before the incident?

McFayden's was private, and was published only after he refused to implicate teammates in a crime which did not occur. Any father would treat Nartey's e-mail, rhetorical or not, as a threat to his 14 year old daughter. McFayden was suspended. Nartey got to be presented to alumni as the finest example of Duke students. It is the disparate treatment that is galling here. Surely there was another fine student who had not sent a tasteless e-mail who could have represented the student body with President Brodhead; however, Brodhead, in full knowledge of Nartey's activities, chose to present him instead. My problem is not with the students and their sophomoric e-mails, but with the adults and their disparate treatment thereof.--BuddyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31806061.post-44723686806216974082007-06-05T11:13:00.000-04:002007-06-05T11:13:00.000-04:00"It is not a threat.

It is obviously a rhetorical ...It is not a threat. It is obviously a rhetorical question as in "What if the coach's daughter was the next victim of the lax team" not that he himself would rape the coach's daughter; he is obviously trying to ask the coach if he would feel differently in his defense of the team if his daughter, not Mr. Mangum's, was the one violated by the team. To suggest otherwise is ridiculous and the young man in question is a fine young man. Please note that you are justifying a sickening email that involves sexual sadism(the writer says he is going to ejaculate in his Duke issue spandex after mutilating women as they walk in the door) as ok and a joke but are up in arms when another person asks a legitimate rhetorical question and are trying to turn it into a threat when it is not. Absurd. <BR/><BR/>I am at Duke and the reputation of the team was not good prior to this case and the team had a reputation for bad behavior and there were camous rumors of date rape. Ask anyone who lives near 610 Buchanon on campus and in Trinity Park and they will tell you that the house has been toilet papered many times by angry Duke girls for revenge for ill treatment. There is a reason their female Lax counterparts were not over there partying with them that night; those girls knew better than to be there with those men drinking. The last police call prior to this incident to that address was a white female running naked from a window from 610 Buchanon and running to campus; this was reported by adults living in the Trinity park neighborhood who called 911 and was on the police blotter and happened about 6 months prior to the alleged rape incident. It was discussed in one of our community websites for Trinity Park. That is why so many people at Duke were quick to condemn the team; there was a history no one was talking about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31806061.post-83504266600420545772007-06-05T02:32:00.000-04:002007-06-05T02:32:00.000-04:00When will the Alumni stormed Durham and take back ...When will the Alumni stormed Durham and take back their University?<BR/><BR/>All that talk about higher standards and responsbility to the community.
