Actually I don’t “like” to assume a lot, you just assumed that, lol. But you have posted virtually nothing but negativity and complaints. Where is the balance? The complaints may even be justified to some greater or lesser degree, but you should also realize how this comes across to the rest of the world, since you have chosen to put yourself out there.</p>
<p>Hey, I was just going by what I could see you posting and comparing that to both my first hand knowledge of Tulane and what others say on similar topics. You may not believe this, but what I said wasn’t at all meant as a put down. I have supported your honesty and your expression of your point of view before, as you know. It just seemed like you were not happy about anything, based on your posts so far. I am very glad you are actually happy there.</p>
<p>I guess what I am trying to say is that in the real world, or at least in my real world, people tend to quit listening to someone that has nothing but awful things to say about something that is as huge and complex as a university, just as no one would value my opinion (assuming they do) if I was completely pollyanna about Tulane. It has flaws, I acknowledge them and sometimes make suggestions about them to the powers that be, and if those flaws are in an area of particular importance to an individual that is considering Tulane, I recommend a school that has a strength there. To my ear, since you value honesty, your comments come across as too black and white, too strident, and lacking balance, not to mention being inconsistent with my experience. Not totally inconsistent, of course there are truths in what you say. Just inconsistent in the degree in which you present them.</p>
<p>All just my opinion of course.</p>
