Thank you for this post, it was needed and I think everyone that posts in this forum should read it.
I'm fed up with the whole "you'll find somewhere you love" or "you''ll end up where you belong" statements. How do any of us really know? Most, if not all of us have no idea who these people going through rush are. Who are we to say they deserve so and so or that they should be a XYZ? It's almost as if some gcers are pumping these girls up to think they are all kinds of great and when they end up not getting the house they want, or not a single bid at all, not only do they feel crappy about not getting a certain bid, but now they might feel even worse because maybe they don't deserve the things that people on GC told them they did.
As for the "any updates" posts, that just needs to end. If there isn't an update just wait a little bit longer. If you don't get one after a few weeks, well it might be safe to assume the worst
As for someone actually going to research a bid list and posting it? I don't know who did this or what thread it was posted in but I'll ask you this. How would you feel if you didn't receive a bid and someone from an internet chat board decided to research it? How would you feel if they posted about you not getting a bid when all you wanted to do was let it die? Somethings are just better left unknown and that should be out of respect. I can't believe anyone would do that....it's almost sick.
