    I don't see any aggression on this board, and the only time I've seen anything near it is when you came.

    Nice :cry:

    Do you know if it is advantageous to get an early application in? Or does it make no difference?

    The university I went to were last to offer me, but I had 1/2 offers before xmas, but the rest no until after January.

    So if your friend OBW is soooooo nice why did she/ he get banned then?

    I'm assuming all her/his most abusive posts have been deleted by MSE.

    You know what you're getting when you go onto the DT board.

    I'm not sure why the student money saving board has to be like that?

    posting privileges removed... i don't want to derail this thread but i'm not highly impressed that it's been done. i hope it's temporary as the forums would be a lesser place without her knowledge.
    I'd second this. Seems bizarre.

    She is banned until September 6th. She passes on her good wishes and tells everyone to mind their Ps and Qs ;)

    Lokolo - OBW was rude and abusive to me. And it was so unnecessary. And this board would be soooo much better without all the aggression.

    How many times and in how many ways does MSE have to request that people post nicely !!!!!! smiley-gen069.gif

    my honest impression is that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones! you've been fairly abrupt yourself.... but that's ok as not every post has to be a group hug!! that diversity is the strength of MSE. i know ONW didn't sugar coat things and had clear opinions, but a lot of the time just hearing cold hard facts is more useful. i think in the exchange you're talking about, some posts were interpreted in the worst way possible, which is a shame. they were also made in the context of a lot of other posts on this board (as i explained in that thread).

    i think a mix of opinions are what makes MSE great. if people only want to post to get those who agree them, then that's a real shame. i think the ONW PPR relates to the benefits board tbh. i also think coming onto a thread and effectively gloating about someone being PPRed is poor form. end of. with the exchanges that happened, it's perhaps not too surprising, but it does you a disservice.
