[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there more than one anti-redshirt person posting, or is a crazy single person devoting their life to keeping this thread alive?

I think there are two primary anti-redshirt posters in this thread. One is the absolutely nuts Natural Law lady, who outed herself earlier in the thread. I think that one doesn’t even have kids and based on what she says, should definitely never be anywhere close to children. The other is a grossly competitive mother who is actually sending her kid to public school, but who nonetheless remains profoundly obsessed with the admissions policies of private schools. Then there are a few who weigh in periodically but not nearly as much. For instance, there is the anti-redshirt PP from a few pages ago who flat-out said that she doesn’t think redshirting should be allowed except when she wants to do it; I have to say I appreciated that bald and openly hypocritical position (to be clear, I think all anti-shirters are hypocrites, but that one was more straightforward about the hypocrisy). They are all tremendously whiny.

My kids aren’t redshirted; I read the redshirting threads because they are often classic DCUM entertainment because of how bizarre the anti-redshirt posters are. I think my favorite anti-redshirt poster has to be the one from a couple of years ago who threw an absolute screaming fit because her kindergartner was too small for the rented rides at her private school’s entirely optional spring fair and that was somehow the fault of the private school redshirting. Or something. I was never entirely clear on the logic from that one, but it was enormously entertaining. Natural law anti-redshirter is high on my list of memorable DCUM characters, though, and I was delighted to see her resurgence in this thread.

Why anyone with any common sense whatsoever would look at these folks and think, “Why yes. That is the group I wish to be associated with” remains a mystery to me. 🤔 However, my cheap entertainment budget thanks you all very much! [/quote]
