<p>I surely have had (hopefully in the past) an axe to grind with @mom2collegekids . </p>
<p>As I said, there’s a good and bad side to her posts, even a neutral. </p>
<p>The very good: advising kids in financial concerns. Very good, very helpful. </p>
<p>Bad side: she’s actually the one with an axe to grind against UC and specifically UCLA. I think part of it is there have been a handful of UCLA students and alums, including myself, who have gotten into tete-a-tetes with her. And this has caused her to go out her way to denigrate the UC and maybe especially UCLA. </p>
<p>She hides it behind cost effectiveness, and saying UC isn’t worth non-resident tuition. This is fine, but there are a lot of rich non-residents and Int’ls who want to experience CA and UC. </p>
<p>Btw, this is not unusual on this board, and the contentions people have when their school is constantly negatively stated can often blow up to pretty decent-sized arguments. So this is nothing new, and the things I have against her are small in relation to the things I’ve seen on this board. There’s always someone sniping against another, and it’s just a fact of life. One of the things I see is Duke against Cal and Cal against Duke. I’m not sure what it is about those two, but I’m sure it’s only on this board. </p>
<p>I’m not sure why you’re the spokesperson for her, but I would be willing to bury the hatchet. That’s all I was looking for, but she doesn’t seem to be someone who readily apologizes for offending another party, nor does she seemingly want to back down from anything, and she has done this over and over.</p>
<p>Her neutral stuff as far as I’m concerned is her propping of Alabama, with all her friends in a public relations campaign or under different names. I couldn’t care less, but sometimes she’ll prop Alabama and denigrate UC. </p>
<p>That’s pretty much it, if she wants to PM me she can and we’ll talk and mollify things. I don’t otherwise “dislike” her. </p>
<p>We good? Besides, I believe this thread is locked as far as bubbling up. But my memory is very good, as seen by my memory related to the poster @MYOS1634 .</p>
