[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most truthful answer is that males ages 17-23 have discovered this specific forum on DCUM (by doing internet searches of certain college names. )

They’re the same juvenile, cocky, hubris-filled jerks you see populating College Confidential and Reddit. The language and ad hominem attacks are identical and easy to identify.

It’s all about killing the competition and swinging your little d around to show strength. [/quote]

Totally agree that this forum has at least one troll that keeps creating worthless ranking threads. They are worthless because any educated person knows where to find rankings and doesn’t need a troll debating the merits. What insights or qualifications does the troll offer that’s better than the experts who created the ranking? If you don’t agree with a particular organization’s ranking methodology, find another or use the ranking organization’s “find the right school for you,” calculator that allows you to select and weight your own criteria.
