The debate drew national attention and more than 1,000 online comments to The Daily Tar Heel, Tuck wrote -- an overwhelming response that prevented him from attending class for a week. The original column also led to death threats to people whom Bandes interviewed, added Tuck, a senior from Walkersville, Md. Before editors ran Bandes' column, they asked her whether her subjects' quotes were fair and accurate but did not check with the sources themselves, Tuck wrote. Therefore, he added, some of the blame falls on the newspaper." .
