<p>Good morning Byerly......are you having a good day today?</p>
<p>alumother is there a particular reason why you are insulting me? I dont know you nor do i find myself even conversing with you. frankly you are offensive if you are someones mother i suggest your son or daughter apply far far away from home. get a life and let the students use this site. thanks</p>
<p>Kathy,</p>
<p>I don't know anyone on this board and yet I converse with them:). My D is at Princeton, TYVM. And I am not insulting you, just calling a troll a troll.</p>
<p>Why is it that trolls rarely use capital letters? I don't spend time on any Internet boards but this one, so perhaps those of you more familiar with the space can tell me.</p>
<p>That is mean and unreasonable kathy. Stop being so mean and annoying. There's a difference to having a difference of opinion and a personal attack kath. Alumother is great and its a priveledge to have people like her, scottie, parents and byerly with advice, opinions and help in general. If you don't appreciate that then by all means- nobody is keeping you to this forum.</p>
<p>*erects an anti-negativity force field thingy (like from star trek) *</p>
<p>Hows Yale?</p>
<p>(PS. ummmm alumother ... i don't use too many capitals either ... am i a troll?
<em>breaks down crying</em>)</p>
<p>:p</p>
<p>Kjoodles you use far too many capitals to qualify as a troll. Sorry. Also on occasion you are funny. Not common in trolls.</p>
<p>Of course, it must be said, some trolls are amusing without intending to be so.</p>
<p>alumother strange a woman your age is hanging out with college kids - and im happy kjoodles feels close to you........hmmmm and your daughter is already in college right?. sounds like this has been a highpoint in your life doing the college application thing .. well your troll comments are aimed at me and byerly i dont know why... im the kid applying to college and not you ... i think i should be able to use this board register my opinions without checking them with someone elses mommy... .. whats wrong has your daughter turned off the cell phone? i think you need to get a life darlin if you are watching my caps and presiding over this thread...and if you think im a troll fine... whatever you like... but seriously after i get my acceptance into college i am moving on with my life..and not hanging out on college confidential till im 55........ as a mommy maybe that is something you might think about ... isnt there a plastic surgeon or a book club with cucumber sandwiches waiting for you somewhere? i certainly appreciate what you think is wit... but please leave me out of your little comments concentrate on your adopted friend kjoodles or whomever else is impressed by your snide remards. i didnt start this you did and i kept quiet long enough. gtg study because im 17 and you are really not.</p>
<p>Kathy, read what you just wrote, and see how reasonable it sounds, that's all I got to say...<em>shakes head</em></p>
<p>Kathy...I certainly hope you are a troll and are not a serious applicant for the class of 2010. I suppose you are bright enough to have not used your real name as many admission officers look over CC just for sport.
Some of them are Alumother's age and in the case of Princeton possibly her friends.</p>
<p>Kathy,</p>
<p>I haven't had plastic surgery yet, although occasionally I pull my cheeks towards my ears and think, Hmmm...I hate book clubs because I am a snob and majored in Comp Lit so usually have a hard time listening to book discussions that don't meet my standards so I give everyone a break and don't join. I'd love a sandwich but cucumbers don't agree with me.</p>
<p>And unfortunately I don't have time for any of the above because I have a job. Which actually has me sitting in Shanghai at the moment:).</p>
<p>But it's fair to wonder why a mom would spend time on a board like this. First of all, for the most part I hang out on the Parent's Forum. I became familiar with some of the families now applying last year when I went through this so I am waiting to see how they fare. Plus the parents are for the most part funnier and smarter than average, so it's a kick. Everyone has to have something to procrastinate with and I don't care about sports...</p>
<p>The only other place I usually post is here. Why here? Well, I'm a Princeton alumna myself, and now I have a daughter in the class of '09. So I have a vested interested in seeing the best possible candidates applying and being accepted to Princeton. Pretty simple. I try to offer whatever advice I feel might be helpful - always with the caveat that I am not doing this from an official position.</p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p>
<p>I believe the snob part..and nopoisonivy hopefully kissing her up will help you out... fortunately for her daughter shes a legacy...im not nor are most of us here. we just work hard applying blind waiting working and hoping for the best.. im not interested in princeton just yale at the moment... ... i notice her last email was a bit softer....im happy shes killing time here while in shanghai...i guess that means shes qualified to be obnoxious.. good for her... certainly if shes looking to "help" out she will refrain from calling me a troll and allow me my opinions. point is...shes not running the board just her house and i thank G-d shes not an adcom. once again good luck to all and to those legacies too who have to live with nobility. no wonder they get a break..</p>
<p>nopoisonivy already has a kid at Princeton so is gloriously without need of the help I cannot give in any case.</p>
<p>Kathie, with your attitude, no school will prepare you for life.....don't be crushed when Yale rejection come in about a month.</p>
<p>Kathy, why are you still here? You clearly aren't interested in Princeton, so it is no surprise that you would be baffled by Alummother's continued devotion to the school. No one is forcing you to stay on this board. I'm not sure why you are surprised at the reception you are getting considering that every thread you have started has in some way denigrated the school that the rest of us love.</p>
<p>Kathy I think you should avoid the board for a bit until people's attitudes subside. There is absolutely no reason to start flame wars, and if your the one that is more mature, then take a silent stand against flame wars.</p>
<p>Byerly, you clearly have three eyes and thick, green, leathery skin. How many others of your species are out there?</p>
<p>oh dear...another troll...</p>
<p>this place is becoming infested...</p>
<p>"Byerly, you clearly have three eyes and thick, green, leathery skin. How many others of your species are out there?"</p>
<p>Kelly, thats absolutely amazing what you said - Absolute insight- I envy you ...... now shut up and **** off</p>
<p>"Alumother is great and its a priveledge to have people like her, scottie, parents and byerly with advice, opinions and help in general."</p>
<p>In one case, your statement seems to be a little off, Kjoodles. And in a different case, your sarcasm is terrible.</p>
<p>Just let this thread die ....</p>
