How To Respond To People Calling You a Gunner?

["That One"]

the proper response is to kill yourself...

^ perhaps the greatest advice will come when you actually enter the halls of a law school. 0Ls have rarely been able to offer practical or (practicable) advice for actual law students.

xman. nice.  entertain me.

I've only read 2-3 of xman's posts in this thread, but they are all that have been needed for me to conclude that he is a certifiable social retard.

I feel sorry for his classmates and anyone else who comes into contact with him.

Whether a flame or not, here is the proper response: Thank them for their valuable input, this will help you realize early on why you may have problems in interviews, etc. You have a few years to fix this issue, work on it.

There are plenty of people who like to participate in class and do so without coming off as gunners. To be a gunner, not only do you have to participate a lot, but you have to do so with an irritating attitude that you are above everyone else.

X, I've never changed my name, lol.

Last semester I amply and vastly participated in class and I could decipher my classmates' opinion of said participation.

How best to respond to these (to put it generously) rather immature individuals?

tell your mommy on them.

I study harder, longer.  Don't let other people get to you.  Your law school grades are easily the most important things in your life.  They determine everything: self-worth, intelligence, prospects.  That's why law students are intimidated, stressed, and jumpy.

I mean this with all due respect, but why do you keep trying so hard to sound like an ass? Is it an attempt at humor? I honestly don't get it.
