<li>USC isn’t my school, and i don’t keep up with the daily trojan.</li>
<li>It’s hard to find any noteworthy news about USC that isn’t about football or donations.</li>
<li>I don’t post such ‘positive’ threads about my own school (even though i easily could)</li>
<li>Even if i did post positive threads here, i’m fairly certain that the community would nonetheless see me as an outcast (as it seems they treat g0lden, who’s been nothing but supportive on this forum)</li>
</ol>
<p>some threads i post here are neutral, some negative. Some of my posts here are negative, others positive. My post about latin wasn’t particularly negative:</p>

<p>neither was my post on forbes (although some still interpreted it that way:</p>

<p>and my comment on USC’s reputation was actually positive:</p>

<p>yet EVERY SINGLE TIME i make a post on this forum, i hear: </p>
<p>“beyphy, you go to UCLA” Oh, i go to UCLA? Damn, i didn’t know that. “what are you doing here/you’re ■■■■■■■■/etc.”</p>
<p>the truth is that people on this forum are unaccepting of nearly anyone who’s a UCLA student (something that ISN’T echoed on the UCLA forum.)</p>
<p>additionally, at the UCLA forum, we don’t try to suppress the truth no matter who it comes from. (there were plenty of threads on the ‘asians in the library’ video, we just dealt with it and moved on.)</p>
<p>people here are angry and they want me to leave the forum. What they need to do is grow up and realize that sometimes in life you’re going to have to deal with people you don’t like. That’s just how it is.</p>
