What on earth was Kerry thinking!

<p>Let me explain my reasoning–in public, since that seems to be the preferred method.</p>

<p>I believed, appearantly incorrectly, that any accusation of this type would be better left to a private discussion. I assumed that this sort of thing would not be taken kindly and even apologized within my message. One piece of evidence would have been enough, then I would have apologized for my false assumption. I did not want to start another forum war over what may, or may not, have been a coincidence of opinions between misterflyer and C23. I was raised to solve problems at the lowest and most private level possible. It seemed that a private message would be better for this purpose.</p>

<p>Since you ask, my stats go something like this
-ACT 34
-GPA 3.95 uW, while taking the toughest classes offered at my school
-Top 5% of graduating class
-Eagle Scout (with numerous leadership possitions, including the top four scout possitions)
-Order of the Arrow
-Assistant Scoutmaster
-school radio club co-founder
-Varsity Tennis player
-Scholastic bowl varsity team captain
-WYSE member
-Church youth group and Habitat for Humanity volunteer
and some other odds and ends</p>

<p>My apologies to CCers for derailing this thread further.</p>
