I am sure it is great, but you must have some doubts to push it so hard.
I would rather hear about people praising their own school, than grown adult trying to disparage another person's choices. If you did not get admitted to a school that is fine, but we know why you are so passionate about that school, so as to try to disparage it.
Since you pursued the question - it is an anonymous mom board, you look sad and desperate. People don't take you seriously. Praising a school is one thing, disparaging another's choices is telling.
DP. I rarely frequent the College forum, I have nothing against Northeastern (neither DC applied there, but so what), but when I do go there the booster is going hard for it. It is a little annoying and speaks of insecurity, which is undoubtedly not the intent.
+1. The Northeastern poster is relentless. Even Jeff has commented on it.

LOL, is she talking about Langley Park in PG county Maryland?
That might make sense but she’s talking about Langley High School. LOL indeed.

I don't know if it's the same poster or not, but there is someone who shows up a lot in both the health and school forums to say that if she gets even the common cold, she is bedridden for weeks, and therefore everyone should mask 100% of the time and we should probably go back to virtual. She used to annoy me but I've reached a point of acceptance and now I'm just sad for her. My life is not a piece of cake but I am so glad I'm not living with these kinds of beliefs.

The Flip Driscoll poster is so annoying. Thinks she/he is so clever.

The hospital chaplain who deals with end of life issues can get really nasty about evangelists. Like insults and spewing hate. I'm not evangelist myself, and I would never, ever consider becoming evangelist, but I wouldn't act like her.
Not unprompted.

Lol. And that person (s) will pop up on the most random thread/forum
Recs for bday party location: "we had fun in 2019 when we went to Top Golf for Larlo's 13th. Unfortunately we can't go to places like that anymore. Must be nice to be selfish and not care if other people die"
Movie Review: "Little Larla is dying to see the Mario Movie! Unfortunately since everyone else seems to have given up on this pandemic, I guess we'll have to wait to rent it"

I'm adding the strident William & Mary defender from the college forum to the list
That’s a new one. We have the UVA, UMD, Northeastern nutters. Haven’t seen a w&m one yet.
Why are the same schools raised again and again - and why do you feel the need to attack posters who defend those schools?
Sounds like you are the "nutter".
Chill out.
I don’t do any of those things. Just pointing out my observations.
People who get into Harvard don't come here to vent about those admitted to GMU. Think about it.
They vent about them. Look at the threads like “the cleaning lady stole my X!” The cleaning lady was someone admitted to GMU.
Nah. Not in the College Forum. The people from Harvard don't think about the GMU people at all.
But the reverse - people who went to lesser schools do vent about those who went to top schools - too often, and too obviously.
Maybe first and foremost, the better schools teach their people to stay in their lane. More likely, they simply do not care (to the extent that those who went to lesser schools think about others).
DP. I disagree. There are posters in the college forum who insist on disparaging any school that *isn't* an Ivy or "elite." Several non-elite, popular schools are constantly dragged for no reason, except that the poster is so nasty, they find it fun to kick people around. Those are the people who are truly insecure and clearly have issues.
The people that disparage schools, wherever they claimed to have attended (which we all know they have not), are insecure - that is the point. I know tons of people from the top of the top schools, and they don't disparage anyone - they are simply too busy! Really busy, not DCUM busy.

Ma’am you are an insecure loser!
Is this poster different than Brunch Granny?
Brunch granny is 40s. Thinks like a boomer though.
