To the Editor: As Editor-in-Chief of the Dartmouth Free Press, I am writing in response to Sam Buntz's most recent opinion column ("Profane Tank," July 1). While I take issue with many of Buntz's claims, I am most concerned that he feels the "principal failing" of our "Fck that Shit" column lies in its mistaking "the f-word and its kin as being humorous in and of themselves." Though I often do find profanity hilarious, especially when it ruffles the feathers of prudes, I can assure Buntz that we do not intend our "Fck that Shit" to leave our readers "giggling" or in a state of "shock" -- and we certainly do not intend for it to add any "clear and logical" argument to our campus discourse. Instead, "Fck that Shit" exists solely as a rant column for our writers to complain about issues that bother them on campus while inevitably parodying excessive profanity.
