Datboy, I think the problem with posts like your original query that they lack context and shift the burden of work to the answerer. For example, what’s Williams like? is so open ended that the responses would be so general to be totally meaningless to you. The most successful quests for information come with some context of who the questioner is, what you seek, what you like/dislike. In other words, Here’s who I am: Would I be happy at Williams?

Many of the students and parents who responded on this thread have a lot of information to offer, but first we want to know the context, who are you? what do you want? Then we’d be able to respond intelligently, thoroughly and specifically.

I don’t think what you’re getting is aggression but rather puzzlement.
