^Your attitude is proving that everyones concerns were valid.



And dismissing every comment by other people with “uh” is of course the height of decorum (not referring to you obviously).

In case you had trouble understanding, my “defensive manner” had nothing to do with your concerns regarding the school, as can be seen from the non-“defensive” tone of my first post. However I was rather offended by the person’s patronizing tone in responding to my comments as well as the trollish, unthinking comments of the person above (my second post). So really it proves nothing at all about Duke except there’s one sarcastic person who dislikes rude people. We are college students who are trying to help (hopefully) on this forum, not saints. If you want perfect harmony, join a monastery.

As for your second question, you should provide some sources. It’s kind of hard to address anything when we have no idea what you are referring to.
