Dear Editor,

I am writing this final letter to express my feelings and the Stand Up Comedy Club’s group consensus: the GVSU Stand Up Comedy Club does not support or endorse rape in any fashion whatsoever, period. I apologize to anyone that was offended by my letter. I’m sorry that my viewpoints regarding free speech were taken out of context. If anyone wants to discuss this further with me, seek out me out on campus.

Sincerely,

ARIC PIKE

PRESIDENT, STAND UP

COMEDY CLUB

Wow, glad to know you guys finally came to that consensus. By the way, your viewpoints were not “taken out of context”, YOU PUT THEM THERE, in context. In a poorly written and spelled letter at that.

I am really glad that you are understanding why what you said was wrong. I am a member of Eyes Wide Open (the sexual assault peer educators on campus) and I would enjoy discussing your opinion and the facts of rape with you more. I feel very strongly about free speech and rape jokes. I also highly suggest that you come to a meeting of Eyes Wide Open, which are Monday nights at 9pm in Kirkhof (ask 2020 for the exact number) I think you could benefit a lot from attending a meeting.
