I think yours is a fine university and your school brings honor to our great state. However, your degradation of my school is unseemly.
Were I a physchologist, I might think that you were attempting to denigrate the image of my school in order to elevate the image of your own. However, I make no such judgment. Ours is a large enough state to have several very good universities.
>>I have the distinct impression none of my arguments would make a difference to you.<<
First of all, how exactly would you defend your alma mater against the events I've outlined?
Second, what exactly is bothering you about my position: is it, as you've claimed here, that anything you say wouldn't make a difference to me? OK, fine. But does that mean that anything I say would make a difference to you? I've outlined events that are inexcusable, and all I get is attacked. I'm a big boy, and if attacking me makes you feel better, that's fine. But it doesn't make any of the tech behavior problems go away, and if you want anyone to think of your school as anything but what I've outlined, YOU need to do what you can to clean it up.
>>your degradation of my school is unseemly<<
Specifically what have I said that is incorrect (and not hyperbolic)? If the truth is unseemly, then I guess that's your problem, not mine. You haven't specifically refuted any event I've outlined that has caused the way I feel.
>>I might think that you were attempting to denigrate the image of my school in order to elevate the image of your own.<<
Then you might be wrong. I don't have to elevate the image of my school. Again, unless you can point out any such denigration that is unfounded, you are arguing against fact, not me.
>>Ours is a large enough state to have several very good universities.<<
Texas has many fine universities. But that doesn't make anything I've said less true.
