[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is discouraging and hurtful to have your college or worse your kids' colleges mocked on a college board.  I let most of it bounce off of me.  But I have the benefit of four kids already in or through college.  I know how the story plays out.  For parents going through the process for the first time, mean-spirited comments are just damaging. [b] I've seen parents come on the board really excited about their child's acceptance only to have their excitement bashed.[/b]  Why?

[b]I am the poster who went to Ole Miss[/b].  Two of our kids also chose Ole Miss.  I'm super proud of them!  I love Oxford and University if Mississippi.  Every time I mention it I am accused of being a racist.  I'm not sure why people need to be so ugly.

I am hesitant to "report" because I thought that was mostly for really bad stuff.  But I do really wish people would think before they post.  You are proud of your Ivy kid. I get it.  Those of us with kids in state schools are equally as proud. [/quote]If it was good enough for Nobel laureate William Faulkner........

This is for you, PP, with much respect!  Enjoy!

There are some college students (and high schoolers) who troll this forum and bash schools they don't like.  Notorious are the UMD, VA Tech, and trollers who bash any place that isn't their school.  Pride is good.  Being a cretin isn't.[/quote]
