To the Editor,What upsets me the most about Stephen Heyman's '06 article ("Coming to terms (with my term)," Feb. 8) is that after 16 months of the community trying to move forward, he would selfishly re-open old wounds and reignite the whole controversy. His snide comments and condescending remarks clearly show that he has learned nothing from October 2003 and that any apology given or remorse shown meant nothing. It also bothers me that he would cowardly use a student newspaper as a forum to settle a personal vendetta against me, even after I have already graduated. By using the Justice in this unprofessional manner, his lack of leadership is even more apparent. With regard to my book, Just-Us, it doesn't surprise me that Heyman took offense to what I wrote. He was the one who was wrong. As much as he likes to paint himself as a "victim," as editor in chief a lot of the blame for the "Justice Incident" falls on his shoulders. All I did was write about what happened during that week. I never denied the fact that it represents my perspective, and that it captures the feelings of BBSO and its supporters. Heyman would lead you to believe that I was unfair and it was ill-informed, but he failed to mention that I never demonized the Justice and I even gave Heyman respect for fighting to the end. I encourage everyone that reads this to get a copy of Just-Us and decide for yourself. I guess what pleases me the most about what Heyman wrote is that this will be the last that we hear from him, and maybe with him gone, we can truly move forward and become a more united community.
