So I was looking around for some information on the graduate school that I will be attending in the fall and I stumbled upon businessweeks forum. And there was a thread about whether or not some guy had a chance of getting into the program or not. The guy had a 3.2 undergrad GPA and a 710 GMAT score. Just to put things in perspective, I got in with a 640 GMAT and a 3.0 undergrad GPA (history). But of course I had more work experience than him but not by much.
But that is besides the point. There was this douche bag on the forum just blasting the Fordham MBA program every chance he got. This idiots username was Mandulambar. If you see him on the forums over at businessweek please say hello for me, and call him a douche if you can. If you don’t like Fordham and don’t have anything related to the original question to say, then WHY ARE YOU IN THE FORDHAM SECTION (all caps means I’m yelling). But anyways, his posts had absolutely nothing to do with what the original poster was asking and that is what really upsets me about forums nowadays.
The same thing happened to me on honda-tech.com I got hardcore flamed for asking a simple question. And the flaming had absolutely nothing to do with my question. One person even said that I would not go far in the business world, based solely on me asking what the availability of mid 1990’s JDM engines would be in two years. These idiots were on www.honda-tech.com’s forum and they were bashing Hondas. Granted this was the general discussion section but still it was on HONDA-tech.com. I just don’t understand, if you don’t like Hondas there is no reason why you should be posting anywhere on HONDA-tech.com.
But in the past forums were never like this. It seems that now that everybody has discovered forums all the douche bags have come out to play and they only want to put people down.
But while I hate forums I still need and sometimes love them. There have been many times when there was something that I was wondering about and a Google search brought up a thread on a forum that was EXACTLY what I needed. It seems as though forums are an invaluable tool that are slowly being corrupted by a bunch of idiots who enjoy putting people down. Personally I don’t know if I will ever bother to post on www.honda-tech.com anymore because I am constantly thinking about how I got hardcore flamed for absolutely no reason.
Eh oh well what can you do. I can’t live with forums but I can’t live without them either. Such is life…
Peace out.
Man I bet all the ads on my page are gonna be about vaginal cleansing due to my constant usage of the word douche bag haha. Oh well whatever nobody clicks on them anyways.
