Credited, and also, anyone who thinks Ruskie's OP in this thread is helpful is a moron.
Ruskie's OP was helpful. Your posts, however, are useless.
Wha? Sorry, but attacking John Galt is really baseless. He's one of the smartest and most helpful posters on this board. Not to be a grovelling sycophant, but I've never seen him post anything that wasn't fair and accurate. He has helped more applicants and given more advice than the vast majority of people on this board. As a matter of fact this is one of the first times I've seen him say anything negative about anyone. Be fair.
Attacking anyone on LSD is pretty baseless. To tell you the truth, I'm not even sure what Galt's beef with me is. Whatever it may be, it's so old that I don't remember or care. Wonder why anyone else does.
Not to start another flame war, but this is pretty hypocritical, coming from you. You have never shied away from personal attacks in the past, and even recently I've seen you say some pretty nasty things on LSD. I don't think John Galt has a beef with you. As I said, he's one of the few very mature and reasonable posters on this site and generally stays out of these sorts of altercations. I think he just finds this thread to be self-serving and somewhat annoying.
I think you make these sorts of threads because you enjoy the attention, which is fine, but your affectations of not knowing why people treat you the way they do are... tired. You know that your admission to Boalt was contentious to many people, you know that there is a group of vocal people who vehemently dislike you, and you know what reactions all of your previous posts have elicited. If I made a thread entitled "In this thread Blue Smoke tells everyone why she got into Harvard" I know I would receive a number of personal and AA-related attacks. People would rightfully call me arrogant and attention hungry.
You have been replying to this thread for days, which makes me think that you don't really want it to go away.
