Thank you, Erin, for that. I already stated that I understood why there was so much backlash, but I do strongly agree with your wish that people shouldn't insult my character or who I am, because you cannot base an opinion on someone after one post. Again, I'm sorry if I offended anyone, but I was truly shocked and outraged at the fact that I was attacked in that matter.

For example, you're quite welcome to voice your opinion that you cannot in good conscience provide help, but that you would be willing to help the OP understand some basic concepts. (Please see asianeconomist's post (Help on a Macroeconomics Test) with a reply that I believe is both tactful and reasonable: # (Help on a Macroeconomics Test)16) [/url]

And I would have definitely accepted that

So with that said, I strongly consider Snappy the Crab's post to be strongly offensive, and against a majority of the things you had just gone over.

First off, there is no way of us knowing exactly how many questions there are on your exam. For all we know, it may only be six. Your word, especially since you were cheating, is rather ...worthless?

This is hypocritical because you just said "there is no way of us knowing exactly how many questions there were"... so with that said, if there is no way of knowing, why should I be attacked and why should that allow you to say that my attempt was worthless.

It may confuse some people as to why I seem so insulted by this, but it's because I've never been talked down to or treated like I was dumb. And plus, why would a test be 6 questions? You are acting like I didn't even try on my test, and I did. But again, you don't know that for sure, and as a result, cannot say that I didn't try. I graduated summa cum laude from one of the top high schools in the nation, and I have never been talked to like that in my life.

Secondly, you only posted what you thought were the correct answers, or subset of answers, after you were pressed to do so, and after you had already received the answers to half of your questions, and after you had already been admonished by myself and others.

I already said that I was going to match the poster's answers to my own and ask for an explanation for the ones that didn't match. Who are you to tell me what my intentions are? Again, YOU DON'T KNOW ME and you can't accuse me of not doing something when you have no proof.

You weren't interested in rationale, terms, definitions, etc. You simply solicited answers and were attempting to represent the work of others as your own.

Again, you are talking as if you know exactly every thought I am thinking, when, in reality, you do not. I was interested in the explanation and rationale, but you guys didn't give me any time to ask because you started bashing and attacking from the first reply. For the 3rd time, if the answer didn't match to mine, then I would have asked why. You are acting like I had absolutely no knowledge whatsoever, but in my later post, I displayed ALL my reasonings. So that obviously shows that I had previously thought about each of the answers.

You deserved no warmth, and respect is earned...and I don't respect cheaters.

Pretty harsh. I suggest you try being nicer to people. Your username says it all.

There are a lot of opinions I have made about you just based on your posts, but I do not post saying "you're an idiot", "you're this", "you're that", like you did to me, because I do not know you, and I'd appreciate an apology.
