i'm done, and i apologize for contributing to the toxicity. i hope it's as clear to you as it is to me that @Derriduh is a seasoned troll, and he's clearly been baiting me. unfortunately for this forum, I took the bait (I do sincerely apologize -- I needed to blow off some steam, and @Derriduh is as deserving a target as I could wish for (i mean seriously. he posted today JUST to start a pity party for himself, and to call me too immature for the workplace)). I'm done, I promise! like i said, the real douchebags posting in this thread are the ones who won't apologize. i'm not one of them, i swear. it's just been a tough week. sorry for derailing this thread for the sake of my emotional catharsis! and sorry for contributing to today's toxicity.

never said it was an insult. i was just making a dumb joke. apparently it was still too intelligent for you.

wow, you're a complete fucking bigot. and some social scientist, given that you think you can make valid inferences about me based on less than a dozen posts on an online (anonymous) forum. WHAT RELIABLE DATA YOU HAVE

also, I don't think you understood what I was saying. that you're a liar is a factual observation, indeed. you told us you were no longer going to be polluting this forum with your garbage, and yet here you remain.

>tries so hard to be clever that he fails to communicate anything meaningful >ends sentence with "dickhead" just for good measure

you should consider a career as a farmer, given how excellent you are at building strawmen. first claiming that there's open deliberation over which elite school to attend, now framing me as a toddler when in reality i'm just observing that the real douchebags in this thread don't apologize for being douchebags. the commenter to which i was originally referring falls into that category, and it would seem you do as well. take your pathetic pity party elsewhere. no one feels bad for douchebags.

I guess you really are a liar, then, huh?

you're an idiot. i'm merely calling for equity here. @utley24is the only one being hyper-sensitive in this thread. i think it's dumb as hell that he got to throw a hissy fit until @jriveracal(who has every right to be anxious) felt forced to apologize, and then he got to stand even higher on his pedestal afterwards. if someone needed to apologize, it was him. also, no one in this thread is "openly deliberating over which elite institution" they'll choose (the only "open deliberation" there's been has been over institutional support for parents. the poster to whom you refer didn't mention any departments at all in the comment which prompted this whole hissy fit in the first place. also, how self-absorbed are you to make this about you? sad truth: no one here feels bad for you. especially when you're preaching sensitivity in a thread where you referred to someone's writing as "tortured." are you legitimately trying to start a pity party about how YOU'RE being singled out for your asinine behavior? protip: dont be an ass.

Remember this? The dick just a couple weeks ago called out someone else for being a dick when they could have just said "just be conscientious that a lot of people reading this board are nervous and dealing with rejections of their own" practice what you preach, or sit down. pls and thx

So wait, this guy gets to be a total dick to someone for no reason, like nothing happened? Like, @jriveracal apologizes for rightfully being stressed, and this guy doesn't have to? he gets to reply to her post like "oh, this is what i meant all along?" what bullcrap.
