where are they?

I think they just wrote them off.

You don't even know what a write off is

Can’t really say that I care much. Wanting to get rid of The Eyes was a stupid idea, and people were rightfully pissed off. 
 

Publishing the emails of people who expressed their opinions in good faith (and absent racism)? Meh.

For your reading pleasure. 

why is my avatar in the original post?  Or does everybody else see their own avatar when the immamac thread starter comes up?  It's my first song-based scandal.

There are more than a few that are definitely not in good faith and a lot that didn't even make it into the Texas Tribune article.

I see my avatar, not yours. I think we all get our own donor emails!!!

 

You get a donor email.  

You get a donor email!

Errrrybody get a donor email! 

Not making a judgement on the character and tolerance of the people that wrote these, I just want to see how many stupid people on the list I know.  

Let's play match the email to the Surly poster. 

I see the link, just takes me to error message:  2S100/2

Should be fixed now.

Anymore?

Dude, I had a moment in 2005/06.  You shoulda seen it, 'twas glorious.  

Then I donated $100 to the LHF, sent a few emails, and it all went to shit.

Same here.

A lot of text is blacked out. The first couple that I read that weren't blacked out seemed pretty innocuous and reasonable for being on the "keep the song" side.

Why am I getting the feeling that the worst ones were the ones that were already publicized?

it’s some kind of inception shit.  surly within surly.  you can click the links and stuff, it’s wild. 

It takes some sifting.

(*not a donor letter, just a letter touching on the issue.)

There's a lot of (if absolutely nothing else) amusingly stupid ones. Someone compared it to the Taliban destroying ancient religious symbols.

I'm gonna wait for the Cliff notes.   All I have found is people talking about Covid and what should be done on the university level.  

Or the Reeves notes.

Lulz. some people...

For the record, the email I sent was about withholding the wealth of my vast financial empire until Tom Herman was no longer associated with UT.  For good measure, I threw in Shaka Smart.

Is this good? Bad? Retarded? No way I’m reading a bunch of shit 

Then what the hell are you doing on surly?

This thread delivers.  Probably should have a big red banner at the top of every page.  It's that awesome.

Going through these is exhausting. I feel like I should be getting paid. 

Here is someone laying into CDC about Herman and the product on the field, thought y'all might enjoy:

Here are a couple rewrites (personally I think OU would have a field day with the first one, maybe both):

I haven't found anything nearly as racist as the "leaked" ones that made it to Twitter. Someone said some stupid predictable shit like "all of us Americans - black, blue, green and yellow!" and closed with something about #alllivesmatter.

I'm sticking by my claim that the Tribune intentionally leaked the worst ones and then knowingly (misleadingly) claimed OH TRUST US THERE ARE PLENTY MORE JUST LIKE THIS!

You can definitely find some similar sentiments but I haven't come across anything more or as explicitly concerning. Granted I only got through about a third of that first file.

A number of emailers apparently did not realize that Fenves was replaced.

"Blacks shouldn't be pandered to"

So Chris is the SEO Director for "Promote Your Website, LLC", but I can't find their website through Google :(

Edit: Found a link through their D&B listing, and it looks like their website got stuck in 1997.
