[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys are complaining about static rankings but what other schools deserve at least a 4.1 out of 5 for reputation?! You could make an argument for NYU because of Stern but that's about it. All of the other schools between 26- 50 are not on that level of elite. The fact that this doesn't change much makes it valid. [/quote]

See above. That is an absurd argument - not changing makes a peer list valid? Quite the opposite -   Dynamic rankings that reflect excellent collaborative research that are cited by peers is what makes a ranking list of academic institutions valid.[/quote]
No your absurd, and make dumb arguments. Reputation takes decades of consistent work to build, not something that should be judged by how many research papers one produced in a year. [/quote]

Oh puhleeze …. Your appeal to ignorance that college reputations should remain static for decades with no objective  proof for why people should believe that is non verifiable.

Your insults might sting more if you used correct English and more creative epithets (“dumb” is so hum drum). “You’re absurd” not “your absurd”. Your humble attempts to defend an indefensible position would be at least amusing if you displayed any hint of clever originality.

As my community service for today, here are some verbal Arsenal for when you have no actual arguments to make your case but none the less want to put whoever dares to disagree with you in their place.
“You strutting self important cockalorum crowing noisily into your echo chamber”
“You snollygoster, who seek to climb the walls of elite university reputation regardless of peer platform”
“Bullocks, you Smellfungus Pillock. Your village needs its  fault-finding idiot back” 
“You social climbing Ninnyhammer”
“Mumpsimus stubborn old Mule who insists on making an error in the face of overwhelming evidence, which in my case is whatever I say is so”

Have fun insulting people who disagree with you!
