Probably that she got tired of everyone bitching at her about the way she described her experience, but that's only a guess.

Do you think the way she described her experience was a good way to do it?

I agree that we can try to turn down the meanness and snark, but don't you think it was probably wise to point out some of the issues?

In general, is it really bad forum manner to re-post something that someone has deleted? It appeared that LMV's only concern was that no one re-post before Sunday, but maybe that's wishful thinking on my part.

IMHO, I don't see it as bad forum manner at all.

People still have quotes up from now-deleted content. If the mods think it's okay to leave the quotes up as is, why wouldn't it be okay to re-post whatever content was in the e-mails to subscribed members?

Quota at Illinois was 48.

Was there a separate junior quota or were juniors "free"?

Is that high or low for the campus?

In all fairness, I think we really did her a favor by telling her how rude the original comments were. Had she not deleted her comments (except for maybe the ones that were already quoted) the comments could have ruined her recuitment.

Based on the way she was describing everything, she probably could have gone on for each round about how their nail polish didn't match or how ill-fitting their clothes were.

She didn't seem to care at first, but I think it's because pnm's don't realize how many members from so many schools visit these boards.

Maybe next time we should just keep our mouths shut and watch the pnm's recruitment get ruined... there's entertainment for those who were all angry that the comments were deleted because of the entertainment value.

I don't know if that includes the junior quota, but last year quota was 57, so 48 is low.

I don't agree with the way the original opinions were posted, either, and initially some of the commentary from GC members was meant as helpful, but it started getting more of a 'bite' than was really necessary at some points. That said, I didn't read each and every posting, only checking in when I got requests to do so.
