There is so much misinformation on the DCUM College threads, I wonder what would compel someone to mislead others by giving bad information? (Also applies when posters are contesting something that is very clearly true, and easily verifiable). Generally, OPs ask innocuous questions, unless they are trolling, so what is the point (in giving bad information or trolling), since this is anon?

Or answering from their experience and things may have changed. General confusion perhaps. I don’t think most people are malicious.

Not impossible, but as the saying goes, "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

I actually think some of the trolls here are bored high school kids who know their parents read the site.

What are you talking about? When did Trump become a president? Please stop this misinformation.
