[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, what this thread shows again is that there are a lot of people on this forum who really love bashing Janney parents. They are like Kardashians -- they can't afford private -- they have fat butts -- they are desperate to prop up the value of their shitshacks -- other neighborhoods are so much more affluent -- they have higher crime --- bla bla bla. Do you even hear yourselves talking? [b]Everyone I know personally in AU Park would never dream of putting others down for their lesser affluence, pedigree, or house size. I'm starting to think the Janney haters are not only EOTP[/b] but in such neighborhoods as Spring Valley or Kent, where the real snobs appear to live.[/quote]

This is the most gloriously unselfaware post ever.  Bless.  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol: [/quote]

I wasn't putting people EOTP down, many of whom on this board are more affluent than I, have bigger and nicer houses, and may well be of more illustrious pedigree, lol. It is undeniable, however, that a lot of Janney and generally WOTP hate comes from them, not necessarily due to envy, but due to the perception that [b]everyone WOTP is a boring suburban rich fart [/b]who is trying to avoid real city life. Your reaction to my post is a good example of this prejudice.[/quote]

Hmm.  I live in upper NW EOTP, and I have to say I haven't heard this sentiment IRL.  A couple of times I've heard folks mention Janney and other WOTP schools in the context of unfair treatment downtown (e.g., renovations being done there first), but never bashing the actual [i]people[/i] that live WOTP.  Maybe because our friends/coworkers/etc. also live WOTP and elsewhere in the city.

Bottom line, I don't think the Janney-bashing is being done by EOTP folks, at least not in my neck of the woods.  I figure we'll see you guys at Deal and Wilson anyway, and hopefully our kids will all be friends, so I don't knock the real estate choices anyone else has made.[/quote]
