My oldest is at least 10 years away from starting the college process, but I occasionally read this forum and have posted here a few times. Several times, I've immediately gotten rude responses, or noticed really rude responses to other posters. I find this to be the case here much more than in other DCUM forums that I frequent (schools, elementary kids, real estate, etc.).

Why are some posters (not all, I see many helpful posters too) so aggressively rude here? [b]Is it because college admissions is like the ultimate or penultimate judgment on our parenting?[/b] Why the crabs in the barrel mentality? And finally,[b] am I and other young parents destined to become you guys in the years ahead?

Here's a prediction: yes, you will be one of these people. You are already looking at these threads, which says to me that you are uber-competitive. Also, you already said above that you consider what college a student attends to be the ultimate judgment of your parenting.

I feel sorry for you.[/quote]
