If you really wanted me to make my exit, wouldn't you stop replying? This is Internet 101 stuff.

Wow, please point to the place where I said I was smarter than everyone else? My original questions were, "Who the hell are these people who keep posting to these forums while in graduate school? Shouldn't they have stuff to do (this is graduate school, after all)? Why don't they interact with their peers to get questions answered from reliable sources?" And these questions arose because there is little good advice given on these forums. Who knows how to get into grad school? NOBODY, that's who. I just want to know why someone would stick around here and give their $0.02, even though it is worth far less than that. Potential grads freaking out together, sure. Some *current* graduate student with 3274349 posts? That's pretty lame, I don't care how you try to defend it.
-
Dense on purpose, you're the king of sassy. That's never been done before. I'm impressed.
-
The phrase "Sure you did," implied you think I am not being truthful regarding how many schools admitted me. So yeah, I'm pretty sure I comprehend, but thank you for the concern.
-
You don't like my assertion that the advice given here is bad (overall) and that it's a bad idea to take advice from a forum of random strangers where you have no idea of their credentials, and so therefore I totally didn't get in anywhere this application season and I'm a dirty liar. Ok. I'm sorry things didn't work out for you, good luck next year, and maybe try relying on people worth relying on in the future? Defensive, me? I don't think so, just clearing up the willful misinterpretation of my comment, which was meant to offend and totally didn't. But thank you kindly for assuring me that you do in fact have friends, as if anyone cares. Again, your last two sentences are meant to offend, but they do not. Good day to you sir.
-
No, my statement implies that I currently know no one at the school which I will be attending, unless, of course, you're projecting something about yourself onto what I said. Nope.
-
Ph.D., and I plan on having *real-life* friends, thanks.

I finished the rest of the internet early. Also, I find it flattering that I have made such an impression on you. oh my god, why didn't I thin... oh, I did. I was asking this question to see if you all realize how pointless and unhelpful this site is. Really, I got into like, a bajillion top-tier programs and I'm going to my dream school and I didn't get one useful tip from lurking here all season, not one.
-
because they are full of judgement and condenscention. This is the worst possible place to try and look for support or community. The 'advice' floating around on here is usually absolutely horrific. Really, I question the intelligence of those that stick around and pity the people coming here with nowhere else to turn for answers to their questions. 99% of what is posted on here are unresearched opinions, conjecture and speculation. Bad. That's funny, because I'm pretty sure I was only substantially (if you could even call it that) involved in one thread, which was dramatic and pathetic from the start, so, not only is your sample size woefully small, your hypothesis and conclusions are both totally crap too.
-
Why do some people continue to post on this forum, for what in some cases seems to be years, after the grad admission process? Do they not access to other graduate students / advisors to talk to in real life about their graduate school issues? It just seems a bit pathetic to me.

Of course she's getting married so young, if I were stupid enough to sign onto an arbitrary set of rules that mandated I not have sex until marriage, I would have been married at like, 14, if they'd let me. Creepo religion probably would, too.
