Reply to comment by youarelookingatthis in Dartmouth cancels live event due to fear of protesters by Hilarias_Glucose_Cup

I explain the background in the original post, Quite frankly people wanting to split hairs over whether Dartmouth cancelled the event or whether BARPod cancelled are just fixating on that point so they can side step the actual issue. The point is don't schedule an event and then force its cancellation due to adding a bunch of unreachable stipulations because you all of a sudden got nervous over a few potential protesters. This is an ivy league institution that apparently has no checks and balances, or consistent policies in place for events or speakers. Its a joke and we are all suppose to hold this school up as the premier institute of education in the area. They should be embarrassed.

You: "Dartmouth cancels live event..."

Jesse Singal and Katie Herzog: "We've Cancelled Our Dartmouth Show"

Someone's lying here, both can't be true. Unless someone changed the rules of the English language and forget to tell me.

The original poster is saying that the rules changed to such an extent they could not be met. Like changing the definition of a Recession to say you are not in a Recession.

They just want to fixate on the details of why the event was cancelled. Its obvious it was the college just putting in roadblocks to force it. The point is a college committed to having an event that they then forced a cancellation for because they feared some kind of pushback.
