For those of you who don't see the blog on weekends . . .
I wanted to direct you to a debate about the recent Kelly Tilghman Affair in which WatchDog commenters participated over the weekend.
Unlike many Internet discussions on the topic, this one mostly was conducted at a respectful, thoughtful level.
It even featured the Hofstra professor whose e-mail initially alerted both Newsday and the Golf Channel to Ms. Tilghman's unfortunate attempt at humor.
This is more like what Prof. William Mangino hoped would occur when he helped make the matter public: a constructive, frank dialogue rather than mindless name-calling from both sides.

Agree Neil. Rev. Sharpton could learn something from your blog.
Let's discuss the issue, why the term shouldn't be used instead of screaming for everyone to be fired.
Folks need to be educated, myself included. But calling for people to get dumped only makes me angry, not educated,
It was great to hear from the Professor. It makes me sick that he would get hate mail, but I suppose it is par for the course.
