IU Grads Poll

[Marvin the Martian]

Remember when someone tried to start an alternative site just for "serious" discussions and you had to be invited to participate? That thing lasted about a month from what I recall. Almost as good as the infamous ranking of posters.

I am sure for that you will drop a couple of spots in the next ranking.

Damn, didn't realize he grew up in Gary. May have known my Grandfather and/or uncle.

Believe it or not, it may have had to do with me criticizing someone for taking shots at Sarah Palin.

Yes, I leaned much more to the right back then.

I remember those days (you leaning more right). Interesting to see you moderate whereas I usually hear about people moving more extreme in belief as they age? I assume part of that is less about your views changing as much as it is the GOP moving more extreme.

Is it time for McM's updated rankings? I am on the edge of my seat.

How would you know? Sounds like this brilliant Buzz fellow would have vetoed your invite. 😀

 

[stollcpa]

No you wouldn't.

Yes I would. Get everyone to agree and let’s start.

Yes I would. Get everyone to agree and let’s start.

If you start taking down the insults I posted in reply to shooter, that'll kill my reaction score. Let's all just take a deep breath and talk this out like adults.

I tried it once. You guys went apeshit. BiAsEd!!!

Yeah, he wouldn't have tolerated your thin-skinned, low signal quality posts. He didn't tolerate mine when I first found the board, but really thoughtful posters like DougS, Buzz, IUTerry, and Rockfish prodded me to engage in better conversation. I guess I'm one of those awful people who rises and falls to the level of what surrounds him.

Buzz could be a dick about it, but the quality of the arguments and conversation was exponentially higher during his reign. Posters like @BradStevens , @Univee2 , and @Marvin the Martian were the norm. Folks as thoughtful and informed as @crazed_hoosier2 and @Noodle or as middle of the road establishment as @Aloha Hoosier (all of whom I mostly disagree with politically but have learned a ton from and have tons of respect for*) were seen a bit as bomb-throwers in that regime. Some of that is mellowing and becoming better informed with age, but a lot of that is something else.

*add Ranger/Wakeboarder to that list, too, but can't remember if he was around much in the Buzz era.

I don't recall Ranger at that time. Rerun Stubs was one who was around. I am apparently a bad poster but I survived the Buzz reign of terror ok.

I have to give you and I the credit we deserve. We've both remained uniquely terrible through numerous regimes. 🤣

Cheers. Lol.

Would wank stain and tuna fart still be ok?

 

[stollcpa]

Would wank stain and tuna fart still be ok?

Not sure. @UncleMark probably knows.

 

[Bowlmania]

@sobester have you voted in the poll? You’re wrong and in the minority.

Lol. There is no way that over 75% of your poll respondents (or anywhere near 75% of the people who regularly post here, for that matter) are graduates of IU - - or of any college.

Fake poll.

Some people deserve to be called out for their bullshit

The results don't surprise me at all.

You think they are lying? @Bowlmania i agree with bowl. I’d be surprised

 

[UncleMark]

No, I don't. 34-10 doesn't sound out of line to me.

Blasphemy but looking back but that degree from IU was a big waste of time and money.
And unfortunately it was way before the taxpayers (me) would cover my student debt.
