phantasmagoric, you seem unusually interested in college prestige and ranks. You have posted 19 times on this USC thread alone, and your long, rambling rebuttals and nonsensical interpretation of data seem to be less about setting forth your honest opinion than a highly defensive and heated bias towards your own school. Such threads often draw a lot of interest from naysayers with a grudge who appear angered that USC has gained in academic reputation and stature over the years. But perhaps it’s past time you retired from attacking posters here.

You long ago lost your objectivity and credibility, but your truly insensitive attack regarding the deaths that took place off-campus last year were unconscionable. As we know too painfully well, vicious and senseless crime may happen even in the most middle class neighborhoods in America. I found your comments on a thread that is aimed to talk about academic gains at USC to be reprehensible and think you owe this forum an apology.
