<p>so just to make clear, i dont think we should actually initiate new threads with harvard incidents either on the harvard board or pton board. let byerly's inferiority complex/insecurity take center stage. we are above that...any thread that we start about harvard would only reflect negatively on us and Princeton (as it has for byerly and Harvard when s/he starts threads about Pton).</p>
<p>perhaps, a tit-for-tat response would work. for every new thread or reply byerly posts about the incident at princeton, simply reply to the thread (don't start a new thread!) with a link to a harvard incident. keep repeating with new links to different incidents for every byerly reply...don't even add any commentary or reply to his posts, JUST the link. i think this would serve several purposes (1) since we are NOT starting a new thread on the harvard or even princeton board, but simply replying, it demonstrates that WE are not the ones initiating this BS (i.e., it is his/her inferiority complex, not ours) and (2) hopefully, it would serve to discourage byerly from continuing with this as each reply from him/her simply results in a new incident about harvard and the thread returning to the top for more and more people to see/read about crime at harvard. when he stops replying, WE stop replying.</p>
<p>all that being said, however, i would also advocate just letting it be. his/her posts already speak volumes of the kind of person s/he is, his/her agenda and biases, and his/her insecurities. yes, i admit it does get under my skin too and i also admit that ive already given him/her more of my time than its worth(in my writing the last two posts)...but maybe we should just suck it up, refrain from having an emotional reaction to his posts and not reply at all. remember, it's just a message board...and less than 1% of college-bound applicants even read this site. his message does NOT have a very wide reach.</p>
