Dear Professor Xavier;
This http://www.livejournal.com/community/x_journal/32411.html is completely unacceptable, Professor. I don't know where you found this guy or what his problem is, but he CANNOT use that kind of language in a post to the student body at large and he cannot go about challenging dissenting students to physical confrontation. Either his behaviour is knowing and malicious, in which case he is not a safe person to be in contact with the children, or he is acting this way out of ignorance or compulsion, to the same end, though he should be afforded whatever compassion and assistance is necessary to allow him to function decently in this environment. Professor, the children simply cannot be exposed to that kind of treatment. It's irresponsible on your part and it's damaging to them. Please do something about this before some of the students who are reading or listening to him begin to internalize what he's saying. He is an authority figure, he is sanctioned by you, and he is an intimidating person. His words have impact on the developing psyches of those who are dependant upon this school for, in some cases, their very lives.
Sincerely, Marie

All right, you sorry little grabasstic pieces of maggot vomit, Mister Marko is about to give a little pop quiz. Who can tell me how old this house is? I'll make it easy for you: built in 1880, with the East and West wings added in 1922. The state of New York declared it a historic structure back in 1982, if anyone bothers to read the bronze plaque out by the gate.
So when I hear about a leak in the attic, and I go up to see that someone's been tramping around on the roof, it gets me to thinking someone's not paying attention to the nice little talk I gave about off-limits areas. And before you little worms blame it on migrating birds, unless the pigeons have started leaving cigarette butts in the rain gutters, no one's going to be fooled.
I don't give a damn if you spoiled little whiners "need your space" or want somewhere to go pout and cry because you miss your mommies. Most of you wretches are here because you're a danger to society unless you get off your crying little asses and learn some discipline and self-control. The easiest part of that, which most of you get when you're not blowing up the woodline, is to not cause property damage. Some of you can crush rocks without thinking - so START thinking.
It's called respect. You don't have to have it for me, and more than a handful of you sure as hell don't seem to have much for Xavier or the teachers - but you will have respect for this house that you're living in.
Anyone who's got a problem or would like to show off and pretend to be a badass and get mouthy, you can find me.
In fairness, I am including my response. I admit that it is very angry and hostile in return but I am not about to apologize for that unless I discover some mitigating circumstances. Someone has to protect the kids around here, or at least make them feel protected.
Tromping around on the roof? I don't know who's been tromping around but I did happen to sit on the porch roof for a bit -- perfectly sound structure by the way and the porch at home never suffered for me planting my backside on it once in a while. I do believe the exact area of my contact with the roof was less than three feet by three feet and given my weight, tromping is really not on my agenda.
And as for your opinions of us, Mr. Marko, I suggest that you are welcome to take them up with me personally before you spew the same insults that we hear on the streets or from our parents at us. We are here to avoid precisely what you are engendering, and that is a hostile, negative environment. I don't give a damn if you're Professor Xavier's long-lost brother, you have no right to address anyone here in that manner.
Most of the people here *are* children, Mr. Marko, and some of those children will be reading what you post. And I believe that any of us here have every damn right to miss what we've lost. I'm sorry if our pain is interfering with your blatantly obvious repression, but I guess you'll just suck it up. How Professor Xavier was talked into hiring someone with absolutely no shred of compassion or even the remotest capacity for effective dialogue, I have no idea. If he desires for us to follow in your footsteps, though, I'm positive that there's a teaching position open with your name on it, something like "Compensating for Unresolved Trauma and Personal Loss by Means of Hostility and Abusive Behaviour".
Trust me, I will be forwarding this post to Professor Xavier, just in case he may have happened to miss it. I can take your crap but you are deliberately making this place into an unsafe environment for the students. I will be specifically requesting that you moderate your behaviour so that you achieve your goals through some means other than abusive language and outright bullying.
