whats with all the negativity!?

<p>I was on this board CONSTANTLY over the summer and all the way through early decision announcements... i was one of "the regulars" and i really enjoyed the fun and supportive environment that CC boards offered.. but lately as ive been reading the posts i see all this negativity... people telling other people off, insulting other posters, bashing quotes from other posters and in general just being mean. i just replied to a post in the "High School" forum where a poster made a sarcastic reply tell the OP to "learn how to spell" instead of letting the typo go and answering the legit question posed.
so what happened!?
when did this board change from a compassionate, caring, family environment (Yale EA family still rules!!) to a nasty, competitive place to put others down and prove your own superiority?</p>

<p>id just like to say, regarding these nasty replies... its unnecessary, this is a place to gather advice and tips for the college application process and find people who have similar situations for help and whatnot, not a place to put others down, laugh at mistakes and be out-and-out rude. i dont understand where all the negative vibes are coming from. </p>

<p>and to all, please remember that everybody deserves courtesy and respect, </p>

<p>smile, its good for you :)

<p>pshhh.... i have not noticed this "negativity" myself... weird</p>

<p>I have...I'm getting bitter and more negative. I've been really cutting down on my time here, but sometimes I get so frustrated I say negative things.</p>

<p>LOL? If you ask me, CC's always been a competitive place where people put down others, especially when they make stupid statements or do retarded stuff.</p>

<p>Yes, stupid. Very stupid.</p>

<p>Stupid like your FACE.</p>

<p>Sorry, couldn't resist.</p>

<p>hahaha I didn't log in over the weekend and it seemed like this place turned into a flame fest. Like a person on a computer six states away who doesn't drive is going to be able to fight someone. Bring back the pointless threads!!!</p>

<p>Well stupid posts deserve stupid replies.</p>

<p>we be jammin</p>

<p>hmm maybe Kent State's presence lowers the negativity level....</p>

<p>uc_benz...you are awesome lol! I agree w/ him totally....</p>

<p>but for some of us.....(like me) we have senioritis and want our freaking decisions from college and stuff like that.....and if we get rejected..(like I have...) then we tend to get bitter. lol.....and WE JUST WANT SCHOOL TO END...WAAAH!</p>

<p>I agree. I hate these stupid rules now..msg too short..can't post after 60 seconds..argh.</p>
