Hey there, "Retake" guy... I thought that was pretty darned funny, but just for future reference...

FYI:

"Retake" isn't funny anymore. Moreover, if you drop it in the Lounge (or in an applicable LSAT thread), then so be it...but stop posting it in response to legit questions in on-topic forums, e.g., choosing between two law schools. You're not funny; you're being an asshole.

Please consider this an open warning - vacations are my first reaction to future instances.

Indeed, deserving of censure and perhaps even ridicule.

I wonder if this counts when the term is used to be an asshole only for the sake of mocking larger assholes?

Is there no merit to this?

That's only because US News hasn't found a way to rank it yet.

My advice on that would be... proceed at your own risk.
