Those were particularly low-value comments, beneath even our threshold for quality. Their text still exists on our servers in case there is someday a compelling reason to restore them.

Why is SFIST truncating comments?

Evacuate was probably the wrong word. However, if you'll recall they closed all the streets around City Hall because they considered it a target. Hastings is right by City Hall and the Federal Building. So not only did you have a situation where nobody wanted to go to class because they were all glued to the television watching what was unfolding around the country, but it was impossible to get there even if you wanted to unless you lived within walking distance. It would have been nice if they cancelled class is all I'm saying. Although I suppose I should let it go since it's been almost six years.

Well, Steakfrites, the 9/11 attacks were in New York City & DC, not San Francisco. I don't really think evacuating Hastings was necessary. In this case, though, better safe than sorry, I would say.

I goto Hastings, and the interesting thing is that the threat seems more to indicate tomorrow as the target date, not today. And yet they evacuated today, but tomorrow plan to resume. This is the message on the message board which constituted the threat: www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=616215&mc=6&forum_id=2

Thanks for the spam ms freeh. Way to contribute. They didn't even evacuate Hastings for 9/11.

This would be once of those "compassion for misfortune" situations we were talking about.]
