<p>Interesting that you feel I am on a mission to bash Wash U. My posts have only responded to Jazzymom’s refusal to concede anything as to any suggestion that U.S. News is not the gospel. I have merely been responding to her repeated contentions that the system used by another publication that isn’t so favorable to Wash U. was “thrown together like a dog’s breakfast”. I never argued that the U.S. News ranking of Wash U. was “garbage” etc. You’ve read nothing from me approaching that level of hostility. Let’s be clear who has an agenda here.</p>
