As the person who used the word "cringe," I would agree with Sarah that the comment system is not meant to shut down the writers. It does, however, serve as a reminder that what editors write on a public website can be seen by anyone in the world who chooses to visit the site (and as can be seen in this thread, it is not only Uni students who are reading this website). Therefore, I think it is all the more important that senior editors who write representing what will undoubtedly be viewed as "the voice of Uni High" be aware of how their message will be received by their audience and not be surprised when people are upset by what they say. The comment section allows the rest of us an opportunity to publicly express our opinions on the topic.
