mobster: “Yea, but that doesn’t make sense, because blah blah blah”
deepimpact: “Well maybe if you actually read what I said, you would know that I meant blah blah blah”
When in fact, all you have to do is say, “I’m sorry, what I meant to say was blah blah blah.”
Just like you, people react to things that are said. When EVERYONE who reads your posts interpret them the same way, then you might have misspoke. Because honestly, what do you think.. that everyone is PMing each other saying, “Hey, let’s pretend like we didn’t understand what deepimpact said, and let’s get snarky with her over a perfectly normal statement she made.”

Again this goes to that sense of entitlement I mentioned previously. Why should I apologize when it's not MY fault someone misread my post? On the flip side, why can't they say, "well DeepImpact, I'm not really sure I understand what you mean. Could you clarify the point you are trying to illustrate?" Why does it have to be, "what you are saying doesn't make sense. You're so stupid. What you said was so stupid. Oh these 1L's. blah blah blah."
And no I don't think people are pming each other. I think they just repeat what they see others saying instead of having independent thoughts. And some people deliberately misinterpret what I say. The fact that it was stated that I turned people off from my first thread indicates a certain prejudice towards anything I say.
With respect to your comment about me picking and choosing which posts I respond to, don't we all? None of respond to EVERY single post in a thread.
