[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] We have an offer. And others we are considering. [/quote]

Still waiting on making a decision?[/quote]

Why do you think anyone here cares?[/quote]

Why do you have to be so rude?! Unnecessary [/quote]

I have to agree.  If anyone is sitting on an offer, that's on them.  MU may move on, but belittling people and being unwelcoming, here or in person, never does anything valuable for anyone.  Not every question is from a troll.  I think MU parents need to lighten up.  This anxiety is common, especially if parents are considering a move from one program to another because change can be scary.

Before anyone pounces, I am an MU parent, and [b]I confirmed my  offer[/b].[/quote]

Congratulations,  but aren't you a little old?

Seriously folks,  this is becoming way too common - people using "I, we, our" to describe activities that their kids do, and they watch.   It's really weird actually.

It's not weird given the cantankerous nature of this and previous Spirit threads.  I have asked questions and had parents who self-identify as Spirit/MU respond with venom.  Maybe those people left; maybe they didn't.

As for you childishly picking on the grammar of "my" vs "my DD's" offer, I think that's what's weird.  Since I write the check and I drive her to practice, I'm still a part of the process.   [/quote]

DP. What I find weird is that an MU parent would, apparently, keep finding oneself at odds with Spirit and now MU parents.  Why would a parent respond with venom over a simple question?   That’s not common unless the “question” is posed in an otherwise inflammatory or derogatory way.  There was a self proclaimed Spirit parent here who dedicated their life to ripping on Spirit.  That person caused much strife on these boards and vowed to leave each year, yet somehow remained to keep bashing, over and over.  I trust that wasn’t you, as you said you accepted an MU offer.

Completely in agreement with you over the contentiousness that exists on this website, and not just for MU.  There are lots of people with gripes here and it leads to an unhealthy environment, in many cases.  I hope this new discussion finds our mentally troubled friend out the door to another club, and leaves this thread and other similar threads in the land of the rational and true.

I can't tell how you will take this, but the constant back and forth over pronouns is the type of "snipping" I'm talking about.  How many posts now over nothing?  And even your post with the whole "I trust it wasn't you.". I'm sorry, but there is a continual defensiveness that sometimes comes across as downright hostility that continues to control the tone of the thread.[/quote]

As I mentioned, I’m a different poster and my response was not defensive, just an observation.  It seems you like to read into things a bit instead of taking the comments at face value.   There’s no hostility there.   The first step to fixing the issues you speak of is to be circumspect when you post and to realize that your previous interactions may have been part of the problem.
