As I mentioned, and you ignored, there have been 3 articles regarding this situation. All have had forum discussions. I was involved in those previous ones, stated my opinions and contributed to intelligent debate. But you accused me of otherwise, so I put you in your place as you attempted to do with me. Tit for tat. Don't start it and you won't get it in return. I promise you that. Offer me unaccusatory responses and you will get the same from me. "

" Most comments here on the WDN Online edition are TAME compared to other comment boards - sports comments boards in particular. This is mostly a 'place' locals go to vent at each other, or to whine, cry and snivel, or to express exaspiration at the antics of other locals. It's a place where you can rip on someone else for their stupidity, while saying to yourself, "There but for the grace of God go I." It's not a forum for the people who get things DONE, it's where the critics come to sound off about what's wrong with - whatever. "

" When the Daily News first added the ability to post comments, I expected a mix of insightful, informative comments and infantile blather. There was a time when that was the case, but the trolls took over even before registration was required. Since then, it seems to me that the trolls and such have taken over. The intellectual discourse happens on local blog sites, not here. Free speech allows anyone to write anything they want here, as long as it meets WDN guidelines, passes through the filtering, or as long as they don't notice your violation. It is what it is. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em... "

I'd love to hear what positive purpose the Winona Daily News believes is being served by this. I sincerely believe in freedom of speech, but I also believe in common decency. There's little of it here. Too many people suddenly become brave behind their usernames. How nice it would be to have respectful debate. Doesn't seem that Winona is capable. "

" Ever since a few newbies signed up for this forum, the discussions wander farther away from the news articles. One idiot does nothing but complain about drunken college kids but now says this in regards to Pfeilsticker: "It happens, people drink and drive, so what! Lay off the poor lady!" Something wrong with that mentality as well as the utter contradiction of his normal rant. And who gives a s**t about whether a screen name seems gay or not. Grow up for cripe sake! I used to read the comments to get different views or opinions on the topics, now there is little of that, only moronic, off topic drivel. "

What a joke. Throughout this whole ordeal you have continued to miss the teachable moment that WAS seized. Taking responsibilty for your actions, admission to wrondoing, addressing the students personally and setting an example of how you deal with the times that you screw up. What is done is done. It's what you do after the fact that is lasting. "

" It seems to me that the lady was on her own time, away from the school district, and not even in the same county where she works. This offense, while serious enough, has nothing to do with school operations or students. You can call it a bad choice for sure, but not job or school related. If anyone who got a DUI had to be accountable to their employer, a lot of people would be out of jobs. And, no, I've never had any driving offenses. "

What's you're problem, trymaleagain? Why are you being so defensive? Are you insecure about your sexual orientation or something?

" I am talking about an adminstrative policy. For instance, if a teacher inappropriately "touches" a student - is there a school policy for how to handle that situation? Likewise, is there a policy for criminal convictions? This can be a teachable moment for Winona Senior High. If there is a void in the policy manual, this unfortunate incident can be used as a best practice for improvement. I am not saying what the policy should be ONLY they need to draft one if one does not already exist. This is a School Board issue. They need to set the precedent, hopefully with the input of parents/taxpayers. "
