<p>I for one, in this particular case, made it very clear that the conversation here was based on pure speculation. People will talk! Sorry if any of it offends you, but your telling us the likes of “you can’t know what it is like here” simply does not help keep you from being offended, nor does it keep us from offering perspective based on our values and opinions. That’s just the way it is. The more you tell us how things “really are”, the better for all of us. Also keep in mind though, that the 10,000 times more knowlege than us you have of the place is still not the know all tell all of the USNA. It is still just one perspective…obviously a much more personal perspective than anyone else here can offer, but still just one.</p>
<p>I don’t believe for a minute that Mids not posting here has anything to do with frustration. I think it is just that for the most part, you folks have waaaayyyy more important things to occupy your time.</p>
<p>Please don’t think any of us parents here don’t appreciate when a mid adds to the conversation…we LOVE it. Certainly there are better places to take out any personal, negative frustrations with USNA and ranting negatives about the place, especially without supporting details, certainly will likely not be received well because most of us have very positive spirits :)</p>
