Anti-Gossip Princetonians Charmingly Naive

Anti-Gossip Princetonians Charmingly NaiveAt press time, 949 Princetonians had renounced "anonymous character assassination, a culture of gossip," and all things generally  :-( and on the internet by joining "Own What You Think," an petition/movement/club that thinks "anonymity=cowardice." Led by class of 2010 class president Connor Diemand-Yauman, the group sponsored a glowing "Love Wall" outside the Frist Campus Center last Saturday. The Prince explains that the Love Wall's purpose was to hand out warm-fuzzies all the night long:

Students on their way to the Street stopped to marvel at this and many other messages on the "Love Wall," which displayed positive affirmations written by students about themselves and others.

And by "marvel," she means "paused long enough to trick the optimistic newspaper reporter watching them into walking away, then resumed talking smack about everyone they knew." The group's adorably optimistic poster campaign announces "You Can't Take Me Down," a sentiment many a student has attempted to disprove by ripping the posters apart and scattering their shredded remnants like ticker tape all over campus.

Please proceed to the anonymous comment board below for cowardly discussion of the movement.
