“It didn’t occur to me that someone familiar with lower-class banter culture would have such different opinions from me about the punishment, so I appreciate you speaking up!” 1. It’s not banter, it’s sexual harassment. We know banter, it’s playful and consensual. It’s not this. 2. Being poor made me vulnerable, I don’t want anyone to go through what I did, and to the extent I have jurisdiction, I’m staking my flag and dying on the hill that people who harass get kicked out. We disagree and I’m pretty crabby about your post but I appreciate your stated openness to engaging with me on this issue.
I’m actually more open than I appear, and feel bad about not engaging more with you about the details. I want to, but going through all that again like we did in the comments on Owen’s post would be too distracting from school for me right now.

Please don’t feel bad. Good luck with school :)
