skylover meet Skyhigh. Skyhigh meet skylover.

OH BOY!
This ought to be interesting :D

Nice job editing down that quote of what I posted.... :rolleyes:

Those are the points that Skyhigh will most likely key upon if he choses to respond to your post. If anyone wants to read the original post, it is still available. What is your problem with quoting and editing my response?

You said that you were open to hearing the other side of the story.....well here he is!

Oh...I guess I'm not up to date with the latest online forum drama ;)

I already have advanced tickets sold for this smack-down. I think Sky is going to have a field day with this youngster. Hopefully, wisdom will prevail and we can all breath a sigh of relief when the epiphany occurs.:)

Remember saying that you would appreciate hearing from others (though we were speaking of ERAU grads at the time) with a different point of view?
"Sure, if you are willing to do that, that would be great!" [post #34]

I have provided you with a lead-in to exactly that - though Sky isn't a ERAU grad, he'll have many other points to discuss with you should you and he choose to engage in the discussion.

Yes - you may not be up-to-date with the "drama" of the forums when it comes to Sky, but you are reportedly his self-proclaimed 'target' audience so some of hte regular forum members will be watching with interest.

Your "lead in" is misleading because you pieced together sentences that were out of context. (Are you a Fox News fan?)

If "Sky" would like to discuss what I wrote, I'd be more than happy, as always, to have a civilized discussion. I would encourage him to read my original post, however.

It's almost childish how some folks here become angry and defensive when I don't agree with them. To this end, please understand that this anonymous online forum is not the deciding factor for my education and career choices. That's what parents, friends, family, and individual people who I know face-to-face are for.

No - it is common practice to not quote EVERYTHING in a post.
You must be feeling very defensive to accuse such a thing. No reason to feel defensive.
I did what you asked me to do.
I'm glad that you aren't making final decisions based on APC forums. That is a very smart thing, but make sure that the information you are giving those people who are guiding is complete and accurate - especially if it is partly their money you will be spending ;)

Skylover,

2 questions for ya:

Are you already committed/enrolled to ERAU for the upcoming semester?

and

Have you looked at any other ERAU threads on this board as USMCFLYR suggested?

Specifically the "Embry Riddle - to go or not to go" thread.

The reason I ask is that you don't really seem open to receiving feedback from anyone who disagrees with your point of view. If you've already made a decision to attend this would explain a lot.

Also the thread I mentioned has lots of ERAU grads who shed some light on the long term implications of their decision. Its pretty eye opening.

Nope, I'm good. It's just that, for example, in your quote, you took the last sentence and put it next to the second to last sentence, which is a problem since both sentences were in completely different contexts. The last sentence in your quote was referencing the definition of character, NOT training methods. But I digress...
