<p>Modified from another post:</p>
<p>Over the course of reading CC for over a year, I have noticed a pattern regarding comments about Vanderbilt. Posters with low post counts and short paper trails create incendiary threads or posts whose major purpose seems to be to harm Vanderbilt’s reputation. Vanderbilt has issues (as does every other school in America), but many of the criticisms reflect someone whose motives may not be pure. Perhaps this is legit, but it definitely raises the question of who are these posters and what are their real objectives. </p>
<p>To all the readers who are truly interested in learning about Vanderbilt, I suggest that you take your guidance from those who have high post counts and actual direct knowledge of the school, eg, current students, parents, alumni, etc. They know the real story about Vanderbilt and have demonstrated on CC the history and the integrity to comment on both the school’s peccadillos and its many, many strengths.</p>
