To the editors:
Most columns discuss opinions on issues that affect the student body and beyond—not petty, personal grievances, as expressed by Ross G. Douthat ‘02 (Opinion, “Suzanne Pomey’s Harvard,” Feb. 4). Not only did he display a personal and unprofessional vendetta against Pomey (for her failure to say “hi” to him on the street), but he also made uninformed conclusions regarding her social involvements and her personal relationships with her friends on campus in his comment that, “hardly anyone has stepped forward to defend her.” While her defenders might not be responsive to the questions of The Crimson, I am confident that they have invested their energies more appropriately in supporting Pomey personally. In short, I greatly enjoy reading Crimson columns for the insight and thought they give to situations and issues, and was greatly disappointed to see both insight and thought give way to childlike grievances.
