Strangely enough- it's not the score that bothers me so much as the list of activities... But maybe it's cause I'm a nerd who gets scared climbing up stepladders...

I'm not voting, b/c I think it could be the guy who posted that he got a 43 last April. :idea: I also chose to wait a year before applying, so I don't think it means anything that the profile is entering 2007. He might just be planning to apply to those schools. Having been a victim of the shoot first and ask questions later troll-bashers myself, I tend to want to err on the side of giving the guy the benefit of the doubt. 🙄

It's not a question of being serious or not serious. I don't really care all that much one way or the other concerning that profile and whether it's real. What I'm objecting to is that sometimes SDNers are a little too trigger-happy. *My* point is that we should give people the benefit of the doubt, and assume that they are telling the truth unless we have a concrete reason to believe otherwise. It isn't very nice to have a bunch of punks telling you that you're a troll and a liar when they don't even know you. So again, I'd rather err on the side of believing him, and if I'm later proven wrong, fine. But the burden of proof belongs to the accusers; this is the US, not France.

OK- I'll admit it- the profile is mine. Just don't start fawning over me now that you know what a genius I am :laugh:

Yeah, it's relatively new. That feature was added a few months ago. I think it's good, although I've heard some people have received inappropriate and/or mean comments. You can edit them though.

I was actually quite amazed after I changed to this avatar that several SDNers PMd me to get clues. :laugh: It will be my new SDN tradition. 😀
