Hey Cindy….I know who Jane Croson is, but meant that comment exactly how you finished your comment. Move on, people! This topic is waaaaaay over played already. Who cares, she is gone and we have a fantastic, and probably better, team without her. Let it go….

LC, quit it with demeanng people. If you want to do that, do it on your blog.
Mauna, sorry but deleting you as well only because the statement is no longer in context.
87. Croson was a valuable member of the team the past two seasons. no longer with the Wahine. end of story. The Wahine have moved on. so should others.

Arizona Daily Star? I believe half of what I see and hear, and zero of what I read.

One of the reasons the U of H Wahine program is sooo great is the spirit of “ALOHA” and “OHANA.” When practiced it “influences” our culture in a positively way. The
Wahine program crosses all facets associated with it, including this blog. Thus, it makes sense that we practice what the program and the “STATE of Hawaii” embodies;” Aloha. I look forward everyday to reading the latest news regarding the program and the sharing of thoughts. When “the Law” is cited, it is because we practice being less than courteous. May I recommend, just take a “time out” and reflect on the bigger picture… respectfully submitted…. and at the end of the day, the decision for Croson to not travel was made by “RESPONSIBLE parties and in the best interest of Croson,” let go and move on.

Arizona is here for three days and stories of Croson will float around. When they leave the Croson book saga should be sealed and closed as past history. We will never know the real truth to why Croson decided to transfer and why she was left out on this trip. If you were the best friend of Shoji, Rubio and Croson, you may have three different stories on the transfer and why she was left out on this trip.

80 anyway, glad the question of ‘handling the truth’ has come up.
There is a fine line between freedom of speech and libel/defamation of character.
These are things I know to be true
1. That I know enough law to know that I likely kept the curve down in my pre-law classes to help those wanting to be lawyers do so.
2. That the basic defense in a libel or defamation law suit is that Truth is always a defense.’
That being said, some of the things posted here have bordered on libel and defamation. Which is why they’ve been deleted. Not because of some Pollyanna-esque view of the world but because there is not enough truth to the statements that would hold up in a court of law. And shouldn’t hold up in the court of public opinion.
I have a responsibility to this blog, one I do not take on lightly.
That includes making sure that everyone is protected, those who post and those who are posted about.
We live in such a litigious society and, sadly, with the anonymity with which posters can hide behind, the first person that will be held accountable for libel and defamation will be me. and also the paper. We don’t require legit emails. The only thing we know is the IP address of someone, and that can easily be changed.
My final points are:
1. MY blog, MY rules. which is anti negativity, rumor, innuendo, profanity, defamation, personal attacks.
2. I always will take the side that affords the most protection under the law. That’s the side that has a delete button.

“Croson HAS agreed….”can be interpreted as Rubio asked/advised her not to make the trip and she agreed. Who knows, part of the deal might be she listens to what her coach asks her to do.

Neither coach is on record that this was one of the conditions of her release. I have a feeling the reporter assumed,on his part, that this was part of the deal. Jane has been the most tight lipped of those involved. I doubt she would leak such confidential information if it were part of the “deal.”
