I agree with HYSHopeful's post. Whenever I'm on LSD I have to look left, and if it says 'Julie Fern' or 'cliff007' I skip it. It's annoying, and I'm sure many others are equally annoyed when they lose a minute of their life reading a worthless post.Cliff, I un-shunned you long enough to read what you wrote above. You really do have horrible writing and reasoning skills. If you do happen to escape the mechanisms the admissions process has in place, and you get into a decent law school, I have no doubt that you will perform as poorly as you communicate. Re-shun.
I'm sorry to bump this thread but can I just say I wholeheartedly agree with you 110%?! I just printed up this post today (33 pages!!!) and most of it was a 'conversation' between these 2 people! Talk about a total waste of ink. Then I searched the forum for other advice on prepping (as advised by a # of posters here) and most of them were hijacked by these 2 posters. I think my work is cut out for me w/trying to find a thread not disrupted by them. Quote from: HYSHopeful on August 02, 2008, 02:19:43 PMWhy does this seem to happen on most threads in this Forum? It seems as though 90% of all threads in "Studying for the LSAT" get derailed by Julie Fern and Cliff007. It is frustrating to post well-considered, thoughtful advice only to realize that it is hidden between pages of nonsensical rambling between Cliff007 and Julie Fern. Generally, the best strategy is to ignore them as much as possible. Unfortunately, it is becoming harder and harder to do so. There have been threads where I've spent an hour carefully answering the question of someone who legitimately needs advice. I come back a few days later only to find that these two have filled the following 4 pages with their tomfoolery. The thread dies, and the advice is never read by more than a few people who happened upon it before the thread was denigrated. This discourages individuals like me from posting legitimate advice, it makes it difficult or impossible for people in real need of advice to receive it. These absurd digressions are hurting the "Studying for the LSAT" board, and they are hurting the people who come here for help. Julie Fern and Cliff007: I understand that you two are just having fun, but please consider how your posts are effecting those who come here to give/receive legitimate advice and engage in an actual intellectual discourse about a very difficult exam. Limiting this sort of behavior to Off-Topic boards would be very much appreciated.Lindbergh: Replying to them only encourages them... and contributes to the pages of text that people have to sift through to finally find any real advice. EarlCat: Is there anything that you can do as a moderator to control and/or limit this?Thanks!-HYSHopeful

I obviously agree with both of you, and have already decided, as noted, to avoid replying to irrelevant crap as much as possible. It would be nice if there were an "ignore" function one could use with specific posters -- it would make the LSAT Study board much more useful, and easier to navigate. I'll propose this to EarlCat.
