<p>“■■■■■■,” “arrogant,” . . . etc. in a college admissions thread? I guess there’s one in every crowd. </p>
<p>This is not Facebook or some other teenage insult website of the type you may frequent. This is a college admissions website used by college applicants asking serious questions
looking for some good advice. You treat it like an opportunity to show off your limited sports knowledge. And, instead of showing modesty and self-control which mature people do in public discourse, you produce incorrect facts, personal insults, and behave like an arrogant adolescent. </p>
<p>Most remarkable of all, you are actually trying to transfer to this very same college whose athletics don’t impress you and which you’ve taken pains to denigrate? You cannot be serious. Did it not even occur to you that admissions people or coaches might read this? Is there anything else insulting about Colgate or its athletic program you’d like to add? </p>
<p>The only thing less rational would be for you to show up at the admissions office and pick a fight with someone. Even better, why not call up the coach of the sport that appeals to you and tell them how bad Colgate athletics are? Your comments are irrational. </p>
<p>Son, if you intend to succeed in the world, you’ve got a lot of growing up to do. You might start by taking your arrogance down a few notches and apologizing for your tactless comments. But I doubt anyone is holding their breath.</p>
