[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate racist trolls. [/quote]

We never made a single post that was racist or implied anything negative about racially diverse areas. Two of us are MCPS grads from DCC schools. We were simply trying to understand how different posters on the forum decide whether an area is favorable or not.

Also, here’s the interesting and funny caveat: We mostly re-posted stuff that’s already been said on this forum, but we changed things up a little to not make it so obvious. In order to do this, we spent months researching this forum board’s older threads to see what people were saying about different areas in the counties around DC that we were targeting. Very few things we posted were original. That’s why the MCPS forum still looks like the same dumpster fire even after Jeff “cleaned” our posts. There were 4 of us doing it, and I don’t know what the others always said (in fact, some of us responded to each other not realizing one another’s posts), but nothing racist or racially steering was ever said. All we did was take the content of this forum and spit it back at you. Jeff cares about “racial divisiveness,” but he left up multiple threads and posts implying that more MCPS students in DCC/NEC go to jail than to college. He deleted our threads, but all the other divisive threads are still there and he didn’t bother deleting them. I am an MCPS grad from one of the high schools that gets trashed on this forum a lot, and we are disgusted by how racist the discussions were, just for Jeff to turn around and deny that these boards exacerbate segregation and claim that most members “value diversity.” Jeff was okay with our “divisive” posts and left them up until he discovered we were “trolls,” which means he was more upset by the latter than the former.

Anyways, our study is mostly wrapped up. We got some extensions because of virtual learning and the pandemic affecting things. Our professor gave everyone an I (incomplete) until we turn our stuff in. We will not be using the forum’s real name and will always use different names for towns and counties in order to follow IRB research guidelines. [/quote]
