[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, now that I am convinced OP is a troll (there are more errors than we've pointed out; the logic is inconsistent; etc., etc.), I have a genuine question, one I should probably use as a 's/o'.

What motivates people to 'troll' on a question like this?  What does the OP get out of it?  In this instance, there was no prurience, no voyeurism, not really a situation in which other posters turned on each other:  instead, there was a great deal of consternation and discussion about roles of parents, colleges, children, etc.,.

I tend to believe the best in everyone and can be naive, so a LOT of the time, when others are calling 'troll,' I'll be telling myself 'it could be real…..".  I've never, in other words, understood why people troll generally, but in this instance, I'm really flummoxed:  what gives?

PS  OP, if you are indeed 'real' and not a troll and you are indeed a professor (and btw, please don't slam adjuncts by associating this OP with them), then please learn basic grammar, mechanics, stylistic choices, etc.,.  Even if you are posting on an anonymous internet forum, your rhetorical style and choices combined with your writing skills suggest a profound challenge communicating.  College students need good role models in all ways….[/quote]

If OP is real and a professor s/he also needs to brush up on basic logic, not just grammar and language mechanics.  [/quote]
