bad taste

I do not see how a thread that tears programs down posted by people who can hid behind anonymity is useful two days before rank lists are due. Further, the incentive is created to bad mouth programs for secondary gain. Not that this would happen, but when people can post anonymously in this way, you get the point. If you are concerned about future applicants, contribute to this thread after rank lists are due. Better yet, do it after match day.

Jos24:15 thanks for really thinking way to far into this. BTW for the Irvine posters, does the bad taste rhyme with loopta?

Second the above on UC Irvine.

please explain exactly what you did not like about the program...better yet what you liked/disliked about the program since i am seriously considering this place when applying down the line

I have to agree with Jos24:15 on this one fellas. The only "bad taste" around here is this thread. It's bad enough to single out programs, but to single out one person is rude, disrespectful, and bottom line it's poor form. I think it would be wise to lay off a little. The fact that you feel the need to hide behind the ROL_2010 account to maintain anonymity should be the first sign that it must be something that is better left unsaid.... Just sayin'. Good luck with the upcoming match.

I think "Loopta" left a bad taste in everyone's mouth, but the residents seemed pretty cool (at least the few I met). It might be worth dealing with him in order to live in southern california...

I don't understand how discussing programs who left a bad impression is in poor taste. And singling individuals out when they are PD's or chairman who have chosen to take on a role of representing their institution is completely in bounds. It would be nice if people would be a little more concrete about what points left a bad taste but I think this is a useful discussion. The issue of using the ROL_2010 account is very valid though. This is already an anonymous forum, people should not be using a doubly anonymous account to post this information.
