escobarsonlam, you are better than this... Are you suggesting there is zero grounds for taking offense to such a comment? Why?

not zero grounds, never such a thing. we both know how finicky these damn humans are. the point made or attempted to be made was valid, undisputable. but pithy (who i feel bad about bringing up because they moved on to other things which i should learn from right now) really did seem to have a chip on their shoulder which i guess i didn't understand. maybe i'm reading too much into it as well and i'm an idiot...which a quick search on my posts would indicate this is far from the first.

we're all entitled to a few zingers and put-downs so i guess it's not really a big deal. ken's a big boy and can deal with matters himself if he feels the need to. i know it looks like i'm backtracking and it's because i am. i think i'm making a big deal out of nothing which is what i implied others were doing. if someone's offended i guess they are offended so i should...uh...shut up.

EDIT: because evidently my spelling is what's offensive

Ken is about as level headed, and fair-minded as they come...i don't often think that anyone else is correct, but anything Ken says is golden.

Everyone is just pissed because Ken made the comments. Admit it. You would have cared a lot less if I, a very highly-regarded member of the TLS community mind you, had said that or even Wakama or GodSpeed.

"This is the credited response"..... Guess she didn't pick up on your obvious sarcasm......

That being said, most of you know better. Play nice before I have to dish out e-spankings, kids.

Someone point out where anyone misbehaved in this thread.. Ppl stated their opinions and life went on..

Let's not start with TLS censorship now

lollypotter · Post by **lollypotter** » Tue Sep 25, 2007 5:38 am

Censor away.

FWIW I'm always happy to give Ken the benefit of the doubt but I was wrong. What was I thinking? I should have been lighting torches and rounding up the villagepeople (too late?). You are so right neskerdoo. If you are offended I must be offended, I just didn't know it until your overwhelmingly persuasive sarcasm changed my mind. Your reaction was of course worth more than mine, which didn't mean anything because it didn't agree with yours. As you say, so it must be. I didn't even see the racism, in fact I've never even seen or even heard of racism before, so what would I know? But now I am humbled and my shiny new trophy and I beg forgiveness.

Hello Everyone,

I have to admit I have enjoyed reading everyone's comments. I find discord to be a better teacher than concord and appreciate this debate, which I never intended to spark. I apologize for being slow to respond and join the fray. My delayed response is because I am working on more content for the site and soon I am happy to say that detailed profiles of 7 more law schools will soon be added.

Admittedly, I have not written a profile on Southern University Law Center yet (I do hope to have profiles on every law school within the next year). Thus, I was ignorant of its idealistic and worthy origins. I was merely providing empirical data on what are objectively the 5 easiest law schools at which to gain admissions.

I am sorry if I offended anyone as this was not my intent. I can handle any criticism, which was very mild, as I seek feedback in all that I do in life.

Perhaps some who may not be familiar with me (I regret that I have not posted as much lately due to beating cancer and now refocusing on building content) may not know where I am coming from, but please note that I have everyone's best interest at heart and hope this site has been a resource. Note that there are very few ads on here as this site is a labor of love to assist with the very important decision of where to best attend law school. What little money the ads bring in I am funneling back to the site to pay site readers to help me writing more content.

I have tried to convey an attitude of optimism and cooperation to this site in what can otherwise be an adversarial and competitive process of getting admitted. Admittedly, the community feeling of TLS is less now that the site is as large as LSD (based on current traffic, their forum is more established), but I still think the ethos of helping others is prevalent. If you see those who do not abide to this mindset it is up to us to self-regulate and PM that person.

I know LSD has its own AA forum and having a distinct forum to discuss this sometimes contentious issues has advantages. But I choose not to as I feel a dialog of free minds debating back and forth is more conducive to discourse and growth. No one evolves by simply being with those with similar mindsets, for it is diversity of thought that sparks growth. As I mentioned, I enjoyed this dialog and while some could say I was initially insensitive or that Pithy was being hypersensitive, there is no objectively right answer, but the debate was illuminating (and funny at times such as the great post by escobarsonlam).

Let the good times roll. At all times I am open to critique. One of my original quotes is:

You can either laugh with me or at me, I just like the sound of laughter.

Pithy (or anyone else), do you want to help create the detailed profile for Southern University Law Center? Lets move from disagreement to the win-win solution of conveying more knowledge, which is the sole goal of this site.

Cheers,

Ken

As I mentioned, I have completed several new profiles, some of which are below:

George Washington:

http://www.top-law-schools.com/george-w ... chool.html

Fordham:

http://www.top-law-schools.com/fordham-law-school.html

Still looking for Pithy or someone else to volunteer to help write a profile on Southern University Law Center.

I think someone here wants to write a profile for UNC.

Well, I guess I'm glad I spoke my snarky mind. I appreciate Ken's response and all of the feedback. I'm a big baby so I was avoiding the inevitable fall out from that comment but now I feel safe to come out of hiding and say that I truly enjoyed the thread. Also, I have a TLS crush on Neskerdoo for defending me from the somewhat overzealous Lollypotter. Zesty!

That's what I'm here for, pithy.... that's what I'm here for.....

I have found that LSD is friendlier, in general, especially when it comes to URM applicants. Maybe it's because LSD has an Affirmative Action area, but I have yet to see ignorant comments like M20009's here

I totally missed this. You are ignorant about your use of ignorant. You made a number of little mistakes on your application and then told the original poster not to worry about making little mistakes on an law school application because you got into Duke. Your advice was, at best, misguided, and, at worst, complete fucking bullshit. It's nice that you tried to assuage the original poster's insecurity but other people read these tidbits of advice on and may think this suggestion applies to them, which it may or not, depending on a number of factors. Good day.
