I'm pretty sure he means how Kaplan acted in that situation, not your stories.
I don't know; maybe a little bit of both?! Ok, maybe not "stupid and ridiculous", how about just TMI?! I've been lurking for awhile, and that seems to be the trend with his posts. Good info, just lengthy tangents.
Yeah, I do that with TMI and tangents at times, but part of my reason for that is to liven things up and to hopefully spark up entertaining and interesting conversations. Otherwise the board is just a bunch of boooring impersonal conversations between anonymous people swapping a few superficial sentences here and there. Where's the fun in reading that type of 'put you to sleep' stuff?
Things are more interesting when people humanize themselves by showing a little personality and getting to know each other a bit.
Let's face it, for most people the LSAT is not the most fun and entertaining thing to read about, talk about and deal with. However, that doesn't mean we can't have fun interesting conversations on an LSAT board and try to make the getting into law school process enjoyable and entertaining along the way rather than dreadful.
Basically, Be Human, you are not robots.
Doing that is also very relevant to gaining admission to a good LS. There is a reason one of the most important centerpieces of a LS application is called the
PERSONAL statement. Admission committees read and consider all of the 'soft factor' parts of applications very carefully in order to get past judging a person solely by their numbers. They want to know what types of
people applied that they have to decide whether to admit or reject.
