A lot of people have told me or suggested that the focus should be more on tearing down Chapman's argument than focusing on the other things. I generally agree, however I've yet to find anyone other than Chapman who will defend his argument on its merit (and he said he won't comment publicly about it anymore). This entry I believe is one of the best representations of the type of incredulity I think any educated person, or at least any academic or scholar ought to experience upon examining Chapman's argument.

As far as updates go we are now over 11 pages of signatures for the petition, and I can confirm the AP story made it to print in Indy and South Bend (and I'm pretty sure Muncie but not positive). There was no tabling/petitioning today due to my investigation of the various details regarding the University's harassment policy, a trip to Vice-Provost Taylor's office, and one on one meeting with Chapman. I have every intention to resume collecting petitions Wednesday although there is some degree of bureaucratic red tape involved in officially reserving space.

**Edit 1** For the sake of disclosure, I met with Chapman primarily because I kept being asked if I had and, while I didn't really have anything to say to him, I figured there was some benefit for both of us to put a face and person behind our words and I figured that he deserves a chance to be able to say anything he had to say to me. The meeting was civil but honest.
